VonVilkee Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Help me ordo! I have no inspiration to finish my sisters. Armor is dark blue and robes are crimson they would look right at home with GW crimson fists, metal is bright silver almost metallic white. That said I have no idea what to do with the hair and faces. Paint them all similar bleached hair no make up, or other end of the scale go crazy neon punk hair and 80's glam make up. Prolly something in between... broad range of natural hair colors? What are your suggestions? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I always say that if it would look good on the cover of an album from the 80s, it will work for 40K :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I do different hair for different squads to differentiate. It really stands out on the table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I might execute on this. Combine with squad based maybe I could research some shock rock bands and paint them up by band...KISS, twisted sister hmmmm... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have this color called death metal from scale 75... maybe this is a good chance to use it. It is like black but metallic... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PourSpelur Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 I'll throw another vote in the hat for the mask. Sounds like it could really look slick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonVilkee Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Yeah just got back from an event and the unfinished sisters weren't even really noticed... the grey hair and faces totally passed as painted so I'm moving forward with the mask and helmet hair idea... will post about results I may even figure out image hosting to post images... my allotment here is at an end. They will be at ofcc tho! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
