<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Modern Marine Corps cadian advice"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Modern Marine Corps cadian advice WIP blog haha. So as some of you know by all my questioning posts, Im working on making a USMC themed IG army. Basically, 6 valkyries, 2 vendettas, 6 squads vets with meltas for a tournament coming up.

I was originally going to paint all the guardsmen with MARPAT but that fell apart as its pretty much impossible to do digital cammies on 28mm... Sooooo Im thinking of shifting it over to our Marines over in OEF-Afghanistan. Put all the guys in the desert cammies (which should be a lot easier to do the digital on, a lot less patterning on them) Everyones going to be carrying M16A2's with underslung shotguns and meltas will be AT-4's. Im going to convert the helmets too to make them look like Kevlars.

For my valks, I was going to make them all catachan green, but with that theme Id either go a battleship grey or desert color like the Abrams are painted.. What do you think I should do for those colors?

Any advice, much appreciated.

Another alternative is to remember that valkyries are Imperial Navy and therefore can be a totally different scheme to your ground troops. Factory new Catachan Green might be a good counterpoint to the desert-brown jarheads.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282971/1391594.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282971/1391594.page GMT Modern Marine Corps cadian advice
Maybe something along the lines of Codex Gray with metallic highlights? Even when we were all in desert cammies the planes were on their own program.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282971/1391600.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282971/1391600.page GMT Modern Marine Corps cadian advice def going to add some benches and cargo netting inside.

Eventually when I put enough time aside for this project I want to saw one down and slim it and turn it into a 40k version of a cobra. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282971/1391727.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282971/1391727.page GMT Modern Marine Corps cadian advice Vulture?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282971/1392120.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282971/1392120.page GMT Modern Marine Corps cadian advice http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/250285.page]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282971/1392958.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282971/1392958.page GMT Re:Modern Marine Corps cadian advice http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/271973.page]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282971/1392979.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282971/1392979.page GMT Modern Marine Corps cadian advice http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282971/1393341.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282971/1393341.page GMT Modern Marine Corps cadian advice http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282971/1394367.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282971/1394367.page GMT Modern Marine Corps cadian advice WIP Blog http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/284210.page#1410916 ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282971/1411169.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282971/1411169.page GMT Modern Marine Corps cadian advice http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282971/1411187.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282971/1411187.page GMT Re:Modern Marine Corps cadian advice

The problem with putting a more intricate camo scheme on an aircraft is that the pattern causes it to stick out; a more blended pattern like the one used now is more subdued.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282971/1428977.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282971/1428977.page GMT Modern Marine Corps cadian advice
If you can replicate that, along with some leading edge weathering on the wings and any other parts, you should be well on your way ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282971/1429101.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282971/1429101.page GMT Modern Marine Corps cadian advice http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282971/1429533.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282971/1429533.page GMT Re:Modern Marine Corps cadian advice http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282971/1430680.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282971/1430680.page GMT
