Post your imperial guard colour schemes here

i hope someone replies as not many people reply to my theads (is it because im new or what?)

heres mine. standard catachan green with a drybrush of skull white to show the idea of whitewashing.

That's a really nice effect dark6. I recently struggeled to coem up with a scheme for my guard. I think generally speaking it pays to keep it simple. For me camo never looks right.

now thats better than mine! Mine are chaos black armour with codex grey cloth as main andthen i put little chaos black spots on with some white spots. Have any idea how to improve the design?

ummm, i guess look on google and copy the old US choc-chip desert camo pattern, just to your specifications. otherwise i cannot think of much else

some of my IG stuff, hope you like it

Cheers SoO

Thanks i would post pics but i don't have a camera but ill try to post some when i can. Also my valkyrieis one of my best model that has freehand

Some of my "Silent Co. of Korsk" army

Mordian scheme, based on the Napoleonic era British 95th Rifles. (Green ans Black)



Every one in the army that is not a Mordian (Stormtroopers, Ogryn, Ratlings, Tank Crews, etc...) gets the British redcoat paint scheme



Standard camo with the tanks...

Nice mate!

I havent got any vehicles painted up yet, but heres the basic colors Im using.

these are the guys i started before deciding to discontinue it until a better time since i needed a lot more $ than i thought i would.

(old pic)

ok heres mine

more on my project log

Here's mine, the Harakoni Warhawk Veterans.

nice i saw them on your project log!

here's my old scheme before I shifted back to my Death Korps

sorry about the crappy photo best I could find

Here are some snaps of my two IG armies
The blue scheme was my first, then I re-painted it all black and white
LOTS OF PICS!

Penal legion, tabletop quality.

Wow thats orangey

really like your models THis iz Beef.

i dont have any pictures of mine, but maybe if i find time after word i'll shoot a few. i use the games-workshop deathskull ork skin stage-by-stage for the clothes, with a layered red/orange for the armor. i was sick of painting typical color schemes.

i'm not the best painter but i like them.

Im abit indecisive so there are 2 colors :/

Thats one nice sentinel!

stuipid computer quadruple post!

Thats one nice sentinel! i mean two

Thanks xD
here is the green one after i was told to "winterize" it

Some really great stuff here. Especially like This iz beef's painting, and slavetodorkness' vostroyan conversions - looks very grim (also dark).

@ xblackdog - those are really good, you've done everything really neatly, but you might find they look even nicer with a wash or highlight on each colour. For example, if you go back and give the red paint a red or brown wash, the black armour a greyish highlight or very light drybrush, and do a very light wash of flesh over the faces and hands, that would make them look terrific.

Lunahound, those sentinels are all just amazing. Do you use an airbrush for the body, or is it all painted by hand?

here is my army

That's lovely, my favourite of the thread. It's looks really different, bit of a Russian feel to it.
