Has anyone else painted them alternate colours/any ideas for alternate colours?

I was thinking back + gold detailing and purple nemesis blades/eyes? Thoughts?

I shamelessly stole this dude's colour scheme; http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/385168.page

But then again, my GK guys are 'alpha legion', so your colour scheme might fit your idea better.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/437549/4049735.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/437549/4049735.page GMT Re:Alternate colour schemes for GK

Thats kinda what I was thinking Ray Age.

I quite like the idea but I need a third colour. Standard gk have silver (main colour) blue (blades and eyes) and red (heavy weapons like psycannons and heraldic plates). They also have gold detailing but I'm going to carry that over anyway. So atm I'm trying to decide what to replace the red with...


Oh I was hoping black would be easy ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/437549/4049844.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/437549/4049844.page GMT Re:Alternate colour schemes for GK
I think the black looks really good.

Another trick is paint your model black, and then give it an asuriman (sp?) Blue wash. This gives a bluish tint on the edges and keeps that solid flat look away]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/437549/4049903.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/437549/4049903.page GMT Alternate colour schemes for GK
So my vote is for that. (If there is a vote)

Otherwise paint them how you want you're the one who is going to spend all that time painting them so make sure you like it first ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/437549/4050031.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/437549/4050031.page GMT Alternate colour schemes for GK

Hmm I do actually like the sound of that, could be worth a try

Brilliant!! I'll give that a shot then!

Do you know how this was done?


Cheers for the replies guys! Still need a colour to replace the red???? I was thinking maybe a shade of blue.. I guess I'll just have to buy the paints and see what looks right ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/437549/4053767.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/437549/4053767.page GMT Alternate colour schemes for GK

How what was done the black armor?

I primed the models white then I painted the armor black using "Negro Black" from the Game color line from Vallejo. I love their eye dropper style bottles, the paint lasts a really long time.

It was nothing special, just black painted armor.
