In an effort to bring about the brightest Waaaagh the grimdark galaxy has ever seen I humbly submit my prototype mech color scheme.

Hate to break it to you, but you've got a long way to go.




Don't get me wrong - I appreciate the fact that your model doesn't burn my eyes, but you did say you wanted the brightest...

[edit:] Forgot to add, for those who don't remember dashofpepper, that these are definitely NOT mine.

hahaha this is awesome Definitely could add some more bright colours to your plan. Or perhaps more use of the yellow. The sideways picture is a little disorientating too

Love the idea though. I have an ork currently rocking baby blue and pink and he looks badass. Might have to expand it to a mech aswell

I think my eyes had a seizure. I think if I use to much yellow it might ruin the effect. I want it bright but cool as opposed to bright and obnoxious. Its a hard line to walk.

The mech is based on the same scheme as my big mech.

I really like the Big Mek, actually. He's more colorful than bright, which works in his favor, I think. Looking at the Kan, the missiles feel a bit out of place, being so vivid compared to the rest of the model. The red and yellow on the Mek, however, are a bit more in line with the other colors, in terms of intensity.

Granted, some of that may just be the photography, but I think it might be something to shoot for, if only as a courtesy to your viewers/opponents - no one wants to go blind!

I agree. it works really well on the Mech, the colour hues and shades are all of the same level without being overpowering. I think that as a scheme works well then Keep us updated

Good feedback. I actually made the missiles bright on purpose so my opponent will think they do more damage and to encourage my kan to make those to hit and pen rolls. That is going to be one fast splody missile.
