I have a problem...

[Ghaffasa]

I don\'t know which colours to use on my space marines! I\'m choosing between blue, red and green. Please help me out! I\'M DYING OVER HERE!!!
(And btw, remember that i\'m going to blend a light tone into a dark tone, regardless of the colourchoice.)

That would depend on what unit they are? Blood angles (doh, red), etc.

 

[Ghaffasa]

Blood angels, Ultramarines, Dark angels... I\'m only asking you which colour you\'d use ??? the chapter is not relevant

 

[marineboy]

I like the blue...and Ultramarines are so much in vogue these days...lol

 

[frenchkid]

green

 

[finn17]

Tartan!

 

[frenchkid]

tartan is an intersting idea finn, maybe with some pink polka dote knee pads it could look good. Don\'t forget the I love kitty logo on the shoulder pads

 

[johnboyjjb]

grayscale

 

[finn17]

That sounds nice!

I was actually just trying to restrain myself from answering truthfully to the question: \"What colour should I paint my Space Marines?\"

 

[frenchkid]

suprisingly you didn\'t yell out \"Red !!!!!\"
Then again he\'s not asking for blood angel specificaly so ....

How about all the colors above in a paisley?

 

[marineboy]

Okay, I\'ll change my suggestion..how about blue instead, then?:innocent:

 

[Equus]

Powder blue?

A very manly, gungo-ho emeror\'s-shitkicker shade of powder blue would work nicely...lollol

 

[Equus]

Yeah...with some masculine genetically superior pink borders.

My favourite colour is red, but most reds lack pigmentation and also don\'t do well in photos. Go with blue.

It would depend on what chapter you want.

Dark Angels - with these you won\'t be able to highlight a lot as the armour is supposed to be quite dark, so I would rule them out.

Ultramarines - i find this the other way around they have quite a flat colour so not much movement in the dark/lightnes there.

Blood Angels - I think these would be the best, you can start off with a deep red and build it up to quite a bright red, without them looking wierd.


I personally at the moment am painting Salamanders, again you can start off with a dark green, and go up lighter a lot more than dark angels.

oooooooh choices........

Thanks for your answers

You have given me a lot to think about and i think after a good night\'s sleep, I\'ve made up my mind. :innocent:
Thanks again and see you tomorrow! :wow:

PINK!

I painted some squads pink many moons ago. They acquired a good many nicknames. They were definitely camp!

Paint them styrene plastic colour without any highlights or shading! Should save a lot of time and have them ready for gaming straight away.
