<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "chapter-symbol and color question"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net chapter-symbol and color question I have already a paint scheme but need a chapter-symbol. :S

proposed paint:
-main= scorched brown+kommando khaki
-secondary= scaly green+skull white+chaos black+codex grey
-bases= desert yellow+dheneb stone



Home world: a planet like tallarn, a endless landscape filled with sand

Attempt on colors:


use bleached bone as highlight for kommando khaki and use graveyard earth at scorched brown?


After some research in heraldic books, i found only 2 variants of an iconified snake.

i need a source for more symbols. Anything more useful than european heraldry?



My actual thoughts:

No excuses! I demand perfection! PERFECTION!!!

edit: And now that I can see the pictures, I'm going to continue ranting on my current pet peeve of people not cropping pictures around to figs, and then not uploading the pictures direct to Dakka so I have to try and perceive a fig that shows up ~1/3" tall on my screen.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222178/438003.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222178/438003.page GMT chapter-symbol and color question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222178/438005.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222178/438005.page GMT chapter-symbol and color question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222178/438008.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222178/438008.page GMT chapter-symbol and color question

Calling for 2' pictures in 2400x1600 ?

One good reason for imperfect uploads could be the fact of different ways to upload on every forum

A comes from heraldry,maybe to simplified to look good in black&white.

B is easy to paint. I know,not perfect.

C is a really challenge, was suggested to me but i have to take care with this. Could look like the apothecarys badge.(2 winding snakes).

D may drop this. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222178/438017.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222178/438017.page GMT Re:chapter-symbol and color question
Even with the smaller size image you've got, it's still showing up a good 3x the size (at least to me) and is much easier to see the color scheme you're trying to show off.

If the picture's small enough, it will all show up. If it's too big, then the forums will shrink it down to fit the page. Clicking on either will take you to a full size image.

Oh, and for the record, I like the color scheme.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222178/438051.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222178/438051.page GMT Re:chapter-symbol and color question
ANYWHO! i like the second idea for your symbol. it looks easy enough to paint and also it looks cool in its simplicity.

Am I just hallucinating, or did someone once paint up a 7-Up themed SM army?

Probably hallucinating. Sorry, off topic. I like the colour scheme, the fluff... I've always wanted a Tallarn army, and my last Space Marine lot very nearly ended up like your concept here. I've decided I'm going to do desert theme for a Tzeentch army one day... already painted the sorcerer. Will post if I find camera, motivation, cable for camera... in that order.

Oh, look, I just found the cable. Guess it's not happening today.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222178/438264.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222178/438264.page GMT chapter-symbol and color question I appreciate the support for the color-scheme,thanks.

Would think of something as easy as a winding snake.
Some of the supposed icons may be more "cobra" than "viper" isn't it

A symbol to paint in a few strokes as option B or a difficult like C ?
Could use an easy shoulderpad variant and a "pimped" vehicle variant.

Any additional symbol welcomed ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222178/438405.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222178/438405.page GMT chapter-symbol and color question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222178/438496.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222178/438496.page GMT Re:chapter-symbol and color question SM painter. its a pretty sweet program]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222178/438501.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222178/438501.page GMT Re:chapter-symbol and color question

Tried a "snake-head" on this shoulderpad.
