And then paint happened and...well...sigh...

I realize it's your scheme, but there has to be a way to make it look...good?

Then again, they are your models, you paint them the way you like, in my opinion the current paint scheme on the dreadnought (and your whole army) drowns out the details on the model(s) and doesn't let you focus on anything, as nothing is different, everything is the same colours...bleh.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251908/976712.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251908/976712.page GMT [WIP]the new IRONCLAD -with a little conversion- )

However, the camo pattern makes it hard to see detail, which means the important areas (head, weapons, marking, eagles) need to be painted in quite a striking, contrasting colour.

I think the problem on the dread is that it's hard to see a lot of the detail you put into the model. I would paint the head, etching/cage and exhausts in contrasting colours - maybe grey or a metallic for the exhausts, tobreak up the model a bit...

Otherwise, good work!

While most SM chapters disdain camo, a fair few older chapters have been painted with camo schemes. In fact, the last codex had a trait specifically for camo SM chapters, "See but Don't Be Seen" IIRC

Not anyone here. You put the work into it. If you like the paint scheme, then dont let them make you doubt yourself. At least your army is fully painted and matching. Id bet some to most of them cant say that.

Nice work on that IronClad btw.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251908/978802.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251908/978802.page GMT [WIP]the new IRONCLAD -with a little conversion-
I dig the camo...If anything it kinda says "I'm here, come get me if you dare!".

I agree with K.Cracker, do want you want!

Nice, very nice.

In another thread I just read the opinion was split about the Marines Malevolent in the Salamanders story - for me its straight up, marines are defenders of humanity and all the fluff I have read supports that - in that sense I completely agree with warpcrafter - you cannot steal initiative from marines because they rely on their powerarmour to protect them while they return fire and suppress the enemy.

How does that apply here - these guys are clearly more concerned with achieving surprise - remember aircraft carriers use camo, there is NOTHING tactically unsound about using even the small amount of benefit if its there

I do agree applying this uniformly has obscured some detail - think there are probably some cunning ways you could get around this - put black edges around important details, consider your highlighting etc

Important point is like everything dont that opinions on the net to heart - its clear how much love and time you have put into this army, you must be proud of it so enjoy it!

Did you use an airbrush on those tanks perchance?

There is a marine chapter just like yours in one of the old 1st edition compendium type books.

Check out the Tiger Claws:
