Subject: Should I go Old Skool or New Wave?

The Daemon Possessing Fulgrim's Body
|
So I'm just finishing up some FW Tartaros Tactical Terminators, and the very last thing of any note I need to finish is the bolters/flamer.
They're in Ultramarine colours, but I can't decide whether to do them black, as is the modern style, or to hark back to RT/2nd Ed and do them bright red?
Personally, I'd like to do them red to add a little splash of colour (looking a touch monochrome in mainly blue and white just now) but as they're not for me, is the black more widely preferred?
Thoughts please!

Instead of bright red try a more subdued red just for the splash of color.

I toyed with that, but then it is in danger of becoming neither accurate to the current "studio scheme" nor an homage to the old school.

I would say that depends.
Are the models painted in the old school gaudy bright blue and yellow scheme or are they a closer to the current studio scheme? If they are painted like the former, than yeah, go all for a bright red gun case. If is is the latter, you can easily pull off a more subdued red as a throwback to the old school scheme and make it look cool.

Done under a strip light so unbelievably unflattering, but worth 1000 words.

I would go with the red, but I'm old school like that.

I'd go Old Skool, it'll add some much-needed contrast.

If you go old school, consider going "all in". Bright red bolters, yellow accents and trim, and green base. Not a scheme for half measures, I'd say.

A muted red works well with Ultras as an accent, especially if you've used it for Purity Seals and eye lenses as well.

Both!
Do them black with a bright red diagonal stripe on each side behind the barrels.

I vote for bright red. It does need a nice contrast colour in tehre somewhere, especially with the white helmet.
