Ok so this isn't finished yet and will be getting worked up a little closer to white but i suddenly realised i haven't got a clue what colour to do the weapons

does any one have any ideas or examples for what colours to use?

Tan with a bit of blue? Silver on the obvious metal parts?

i like that idea, it would add a bit of colour too without being too bright. I've just realised i have the spare arms and guns on the sprue to try some different schemes on as well

i think might go for the bottom one as boring as it is

That's a lovely conversion. Thanks for sharing


I quite like the bottom one as well, but what about a darker grey on the main body of the gun rather than just black? Would give the model overall a kind of urban camo.look.

Or even an olive green? Grey and green go quite well together.

Thanks!, it’s the end of a few different try’s to get the look I want these guys are going to be scions (I think) and I’ve got some slightly different helmets and some shot guns to make veterans although the veterans will drops the grab chute in favour of cameo cloaks

As for the guns technically the bottom one is dark grey rather than black as it’s a black grey but your right it’s probably still too dark

Quick attempt before work (please excuse the paint coverage, taking these images has let me know i need better lighting where i paint !)
