Hey every one started paint my baal predator for my army and I represent something and idk how. On all my fast attack they have half orange helmets. And then on all my guy right shoulder pad the have green lighting running down it.
How could I represent this on my tank. I thought about the lighting starting from the main tank cannon then flowing back onto the rest of the turret. But I'm clueless on the orange! Need help please!
Any advice would be helpful. Will take all ideas into conserderation. (Unless you say convert to chaos then I say " THE HERETIC!!)

Or maybe I could do the green lighting coming from the tracks or the free hand design and do half the turrent orange. What you guys think?

Remember they're YOUR models, you have to look at them, paint them, and play with them

With that said there's nothing wrong with reaching out to fellow gamers for input

I'm assuming since they're Baal preds and Blood Angels, the fast attack is half orange half red helmets?

If that's the case you can do the tanks half red half orange - seen quite a few of those and they look cool. Or a quartered design like the Howling Griffons chapter:



For the lightning you can start it at the viewports of the tank and extend it back however far you wanted to make it look like they're coming at you lightning fast.

Just ideas - show some pictures if you can!

Thanks man they are my own chapter I created I just play them as whatever chapter Im in the mood for. If I want bikes DA if I want assault marines and predators BA if I want termis DA. If I want a challenge vanillal. Lol!
Thanks tho will take the into consideration!

Count the turret as a "helmet" and do the helmet marking on that. Similarly there are nice flat spaces over the top of the tracks on each side, so pick one to act as a "shoulder" and do the lightning on that, or on both sides.

You could paint half the gun turret orange like the 'helmet.' Or half the tank orange, with a Lightning bolt going down the side hatch or maybe starting on the top of the tank travelling down the side? Just a few thoughts I had.
