scottshoemaker Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 So I've got some NuMarines. I was originally planning on painting them Iron Hands so I could swap vehicles back and forth between my 30K force and this one, but black is boring. I honestly would like to do something with some tonal quality. I would really like to keep them very shooty, as my Orks and Space Wolves are in your face forces. I've kicked around a few ideas: Raptors- Shooty, cool Raven Guard rules, would paint them OD green/historical with a WWII style vibe. May look boring on the table. Imperial Fists- I'd go more of a military yellow than canary, nice bright army but lousy chapter rules. Heresy era Death Guard- totally different, light grey/green with battle damage, just use Ultramarines rules, maybe a different chapter symbol? Heresy Color Space Wolves- not blue/grey, but a warmer grey, use FW transfers and SW bits, think of them more of an adjuct to Great Wolf company. Another Badab War chapter- Fire angels or Minotaurs Something else entirely... Anybody got any ideas? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Bungalow Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Your stuff is always zany and original and I'd just want to see an army consistent with that. Hopefully a successor chapter that isn't already well represented in the community. Variant color scheme. I like the ones with half or quarter livery a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottshoemaker Posted August 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Eff it. If I'm going to complicate things I may as well go for broke: Plus I can get historical rampant griffin transfers, so that's a bonus. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestRider Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 A good Howling Griffons force is one of the best-looking things you can see on a 40K table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottshoemaker Posted September 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 So I tried a test model, and it sucked. I shan't share it here. So I'll stick with yellow and go Imperial Fists. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottshoemaker Posted September 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 So I figured I'd give the Griffons another shot. My error was trying to both colors at the same time. This time around, I'll do all the airbrushing work on the yellow first, then do the red by hand. After a couple of false starts I primered them with German Red-Brown The a zenithal pre-highlight with white, leaving red-brown in the shadows Various stages 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottshoemaker Posted September 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Next I went for the basecoat of Scrofulous Brown, keeping the shade intact. I really like using this for basing yellows. Then I highlighted with Sun yellow, staying zentihal and only catching the topside. This took two coats as it's a very translucent color. After all that was done I went back and reshaded with Scrof Brown That's it for the airbrushing. The red is next by hand... 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PourSpelur Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 I'll second the Badger ghost tint yellow recommend. It's pretty clear but gives a fantastic color. All the ghost tint line impressed me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottshoemaker Posted September 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 1st coat of primer on the red quarters. Painting red directly over the yellow didn't work, so I'll be building the red up from a primed base. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
