<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Luna Wolves! My first SM army and its paint... what do you think?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Luna Wolves! My first SM army and its paint... what do you think? SM army. I am reading the Horus Heresy so I have a huge stiffy for the Luna wolves.

Heres my plan.....

Paint scheme is going to be light greyish sort of green grey( Original Colors were silver Grey, they then became the sons of horus and were sort of Sea Foam Green.)

So the color is intended to be a quick light coat of grey over the old green as if the individual marine did a quick and hatefilled job painting back to their original color.

Reason: My fluff is that they are surviving Sons of Horus (loyal to the Emperor) post heresy. They believe that The true warmaster died on Davin and that it was a possessed that went on to lead the Heresy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_Gods

Long story short they follow the memory of the true warmaster and went back to being Bad F&*king ass Luna Wolves not those light green sass mouths.

I have for the most part finished a Land Raider and I am really pleased with the way it turned out. Minor details to finish and I will post pictures to see what you guys think.

But intention of the post is to see what you guys think of the paint scheme/fluff explanation?

WIP.









So its seemed to work out so far. The only problem is that the color is hard to photograph because the silver comes through in the light.

Do you mean the amount of black/grey? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223003/457299.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223003/457299.page GMT Luna Wolves! My first SM army and its paint... what do you think?

Also I know you are doing this for fun but keep in mind that the LW or SOH would not have had access to Land Raider Crusaders.

effectively you have a light grey tank with two black wings of armour (if you see what i mean). while i get that idea i think the doors and sponsons need to be black too. by painting those grey you lose the solid look of the 'black wings', and it looks like your picking out bits for no real reason. also the red lines add nothing at all to the model just another bit of detail picked out and by doing that you break up the solid black colour.

as i say, paint everything 'inside' your black wings black and pick out the edges in extreme highlight (black templer style) and i think it will transform your tank from being 'bitty' to looking solid and mean....like a LR should be.
no blue bit, red bits, bronze/gold bits. black wings over a light grey....guns in boltgun, washed black & highlighted, red sensor lense and maybe gold/silver aquilla.
this is what I think, feel free to keep it how YOU like. its your army, your time and your taste. but i know when i post pics i like to hear views and listen/ignore them how i like.
good luck
much love bro

Spoiler:
ie see Iacton Qruze making it to Lunar in FOTE
still nice job, i do agree though that the black needs to be toned down or gone entirely, unless you want this to be a Justarian Crusader?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223003/457344.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223003/457344.page GMT Luna Wolves!
