Subject: nifty ideas for space marine eye colours?
|
|
Bounding Assault Marine
|
Anyone have great success with a colour other than red?
I've got dark amry-ish green marines and quite a few of them have targeting parts on their helmets (devastators helmets) that really only make sense to be red, and i was thinking of doing the eyes a bright blue. but then they have green helmets, red targeting lasers and blue eyes, which seems really busy.
ideas? photos?

The key is to have the color be something that stands out. For example, take these Ultramarines.
The red contrasts with the blue of the armor. But if you were to use a red on these Blood Angels...
... The red would blend right in. Hence, the painter went for green in the latter case.
In my case, I have green on my Iron Warriors and blue on my Grey Knights. Both work quite well.
Hope this helps,

Nah, its fine. 
If you feel adventurous, you could do yellow eyes.

Why do your lasers have to be red? Make them blue, and match the eyes/lenses.
