Which scheme

[Necroghast]

I have a space marine veteran I want to paint, but I can\'t decide on the scheme. I\'ve narrowed it down to Blood Angels Imperial Fists or Mentors. Here are some examples I made on the bolter and chainsword space marine painter made to look as close to the actual model:

Opinions?

First one

 

[Cleezy]

Imperial fist, cos everyone always say they are a right bitch to paint

 

[nick232]

imperial fists and you have to use a black undercoat!:twisted:

 

[Necroghast]

Imperial Fists with a black undercoat... sounds evil.

 

[starchaser1]

i would like to see a mentors, but i think the yellow and red scheme would look great

 

[DaN]

IF or Mentors

 

[Necroghast]

Another thing to add- the base is a snowy city theme. (Blood Angels?)

 

[ScottRadom]

Fists! Fists! Fists!

They\'ll look amazing against the snow and grey of the city base.

 

[Necroghast]

Yeah actually, I\'ll do some weathering and stuff and I bet it\'d look pretty nice. Do you guys think I should use black on the shoulder pad rims instead of red?

 

[ScottRadom]

Heresy! Honor the teachings of thy codex!

Never been big on the Blood Angles Fluff all that sharing of bodily fluids and such, and the red gets boring. The Imperial Fist have always been a favorite and they have a reversed color scheme shown on the Land Raider Poster in the White Dwarf, of some years back, that was a reverse or there normal was cool, black with yellow for a night planet campaign.

Not being up on the fluff, not sure if I actually voted for the one I picked, so the green and white one.

 

[Necroghast]

Ok then, for those that don\'t know the background the selections are in the same order as the pictures.

 

[Necroghast]

Ok then, it appears to be a tie between fists and mentors. Anyone want to break it? (Though I\'m leaning towards fists)

 

[ogreninja]

Fists!
1. cos they look cool
2. they get lysander one of the cooler looking marine characters (the main reason he has a strenght 10 thunder hammer) thats of course if you plan to play with your fistslol

 

[Necroghast]

Nah, this is just one guy. Fists it is then I guess.
