The Wolves of Caliban
Colour Scheme
The updated Marines need an updated paint scheme. Ben and Lance were right on the money in the Hobby Hangout and the marines have been given a base coat and then a dry brush, but for most of them that is were it has stopped. Some others have a coppery eagle on the chest with black metal effect bolters. These colours need to go and the figures need a fresh scheme for the Wolves of Caliban. The base grey and dry brush is going to stay as the main part of the armour, although I will incorporate some washes and shading to the marines. As I want to add some printer decals later, and these can’t be white, I need to ensure that the shoulder pads aren’t too dark so whilst I want to pay homage to the Dark Angels I’m going to go with a different green. I’ve decided to make use of Goblin Green, although I’m going to see how it looks, from Army Painter along with Chaotic Red and a Leather colour. I’m thinking of painting the bolter in Traitor Green from the P3 range.
Company markings will be on the left knee pad and I’ve shown the third company, although excuse the bad job of adding the stripe to the images below.
However I’m not sure which one of the following schemes to go with finally so please give me some comments to help out.
I like the colour scheme of the first with the chest aquila of the last ….. alternately I like the colour scheme of the last with the helmet of the first
Thanks beardragon, so you like the red aquilla with two tone helmet.
