So, Guilliman is about 80% done. Not super happy with how his armor came out and decided I'm going to go back at it after all the other details are done. Thoughts?

You're fighting an uphill battle, since the sculpting of the armor doesn't look that good in the first place, but I think you've done a fine job.

I agree that you're going to need more detail/highlighting on the armor--it looks a bit washed-out right now--but that could also be the lighting.

I'll definitely give the gold another edge run because it isn't bright enough. I'd paint the edges with texture paint just to cover the gap between the base and the tiles and make it a bit more seamless. And yeah, I'd consider edging the gold with like a Runefang silver or non-GW equivalent.

Munchables posted:Alright, here's a few variations of one format, with a bit simpler design, and the correct hex codes for the paints I have. Also, it should be noted that I currently plan on mostly using 30k Prospero marines, so these aren't completely representative, just a general color placement guide. I like the purple on the helmet (  ) but it would probably look better all purple rather than with a gold faceplate.If you wanted to work white into the scheme, you could have white helmets for officers, and paint one kneepad white for squad markings. EDIT: Or something like this?

Also, on the models I have the helmets are big knight-like things, and so a gold faceplate and purple helmet would probably look fine.

It could be the lighting in the shot, but the blue looks super flat. You need some kinda contrast in there to give it depth, some highlighting or some shading or something. (You probably already did some but either because of the photo or something I'm not seeing much contrast) The shoes look great, they have noticeable highlighting breaking up the blue. I admit I don't know what I'd do with Gulliman's armor either, its weird.

If you look at the pictures in Gathering Storm III you can tell the guys went with a lighter shade of blue, or at least blended up to it. I don't know if that is in my skill set, but they also did some edging right where the blue meets the gold, which is a serious pain the rear end, but it might be my only recourse...

It's not the standard GW style, but I'm a big fan of highlighting towards the centre of plates enclosed by trim. Keep it dark at the edges for maximum contrast with the gold, and several very thin layers of increasing bright blue towards the middle. Takes a bit of practice, but can really pop.

It's really not that tough, just clean up with the base color afterwards. I've done it plenty. You can kinda see it on the power fist on my Guilliman here:

Anybody know of a good resource on legion/chapter organisation pre-heresy? Preferably with pictures. My fluff for my chapter is that they've been disconnected from the imperium for a while and don't know where their chapter originated from, so they hold a bunch of rules/traditions/organisation from the original legions. Just to be clear, they're not supposed to be MUH OC 21ST LEGION, I'm just trying to give reasoning behind the 30k models being used.

Munchables posted:so they're just a chapter with 30k sensibilities and organisation FWIW, one of the biggest outcomes for Space Marines was the total reorganization of the Legions into Chapters. A Chapter is only 1000 marines strong, but there was no hard cap on a Legion's size. This both decentralized their power, and decreased the threat of 5% of the total Space Marine population going Chaos at the whim of an individual.

Hihohe posted:Neat, they have a name? Some backstory? Chapter name is "Ot Neba," for "From space/the sky." They communicate internally in a pigin dead language they cribbed from ancient historical documents as a way ensure privacy. Backstory is that they're ultra-secretive spergy strategy nerds that feel individual accomplishments are pursued at the cost of tactics. No Marine is allowed to know the name of his superior and no outsider is allowed to know the name of a marine. They are nomadic, likely a successor of the Iron hands but no one knows for sure outside the chapter. They particularly favor joint engagements and have been known to harass other commanders with unasked for strategic advice. Lately they've been under inquisitorial investigations for (according to internal Ordo Hereticus communications) acting "A bit Tzeentchy" but nothing as yet has come from it.

Gotcha, I just didn't want to see you to get too far down "30k organization" before running into conflicting fluff. OTOH, a cursed founding Frankenstein chapter with inexplicable PTSD memories of the Heresy might be the most 40k thing. They weren't there to experience it, get confused about what millennia it is, and sometimes forget it ever happened.
