Hi everyone,
I can't figure out what colour my cultists robes are going to have, first I painted them brown, that did not function well so I need a new colour,
I would hate to paint them again, just too strip them a second time.
Could you show me your cultists colour?
EDIT: Spelling error.
-
[too easy]
Blue, with hints of light blue, grey, white or silver where applicable. It reminds me of silver twilight and fits conveniently to oceanic themes as well. And for unknown reasons, this specific tone has been among my favourite colours since I started painting minis. It's everywhere, even in night-gaunts because dipping stuff in pitch black would be boring...
Can't be bothered to re-shoot these so just spot the cultists among other stuff.

I use either the GW Denab Stone or Bone color, works well once you give it a wash. The key is to decide if you want something to blend or have a sharp contrast against the robes.

Could you take a picture of those Styx?

Ooooh! Robes, couldn't work it out for a while.... :D

This is what I did:

I kept mine simple, just a purple with trousers and other clothing picked out, and have not even painted any symbols on them yet....

Hammers: This is getting a little strange: My cult colours are very like yours and we have already noted that our Asylum stuff has a similar flavour..... ???
Am I receiving some kind of radiowave that your miniature collection is transmitting?
-

Sure, I have them all on Photobucket:
http://s22.beta.photobucket.com/user/patrickballinger/library/Strange%20Aeons
Most of them are towards the bottom. I went with grey/purple for the drab with a slight pop accent in color then the rope like color to contrast against that.

Mine are always purple too;

This is getting weird!

That's may be why purple is so popular :

This the way they are painted on Mr Murch Pulp Figure site. And they are so nice like this that it may have hit your subconscious.

It's a cult thing, you wouldn't understand! :D
-
I thought everyone was using red as in classic references (http://www.goominet.com/unspeakable-vault/vault/1/Cultists/), Artizan's samples and whatnot...or maybe humble brown...or royal yellow...or shady-business black...or maybe white if you're feeling silly. That was also among the reasons why I picked blue and thought it might be original. Guess not then. :? It's really a worldwide cult.
Ah well, more stylish options here (http://www.goominet.com/unspeakable-vault/vault/272/). :)

Mine are Purple too! :o

"Cigars of the Pharaoh?" I love it! I recognized the emblem immediately, followed by the mummies with explorers' heads!

Mine good old boys in white.

I live in the south, those cultists would either be shot on sight or given a beer by bubba. lol
-
I feel really left out :'( my cultists don't wear robes. I think they spent all the coven miner on cider instead.

There's some cracking cultists there fellas. Im particularly loving the red robes.

Really nice set!

Nevermind, I gather they are from Westwind "Storybook witches and old hags".
-
Some lovely cultists on show here, putting mine to shame.
Love those red robed fellas, Malebolgia.
:-*
I thought that red WAS the classic colour for cultist robes, hence why I used purple.
I wanted to do something a little different, and had not used purple on a group of figures before.
It seems that a lot of people wanted to be 'different' too.
lol

Red is so last cult classic, purple is the new rage! All praise purple and the evil it breeds!

Unfinished but tending towards the burgundy.............

Then, of course, there is black. Everyone looks good in black.

Who makes the figs at the bottom of that? I love that alter and the other female cultists.

Harlequin and Dark Sword.

I went with dark greys and red highlights.

And very nice they are too!

A great choice, Bergh. The yellow certainly works for me.

Thanks Mason, warms my evil heart to hear ;)

Very good "Yellow Cult"... but be careful "yellow" means "you know who"...
Am I late? Here are some pictures of my growing cults:

I went for two basic colour schemes:

Cool thread. Not quite decided on my own cult robes yet as theres a couple of routes I want to take.

Purple for me too....

Although I do have some gun holding followers with the same motif in brown.
(no pics of those yet)

Stunning brushmanship!
I love the colours and the pattern which you've went for here. It really works!
Where is the interesting lecture from?
Cheers

Thanks man!
The podium is actually a piece from reaper. Originally, it a dragon on it, but I put on some putty and pushed it around until it sorta looked like a cthulhu thing.

Nice bit of putty pushing.
I just assumed it came like that.

Of course, the better-dressed cultist always goes for the embroidered black

Colours of robes do not matter so much as long as they have flames applied...
In fact the last of the redemptionists at all. I had him laying around for more than ten years, because I never needed that character for my Necromunda games. Itīs a mercenary I never had the stash to hire. Now for completeness and the fact that I can stuff that striped box away, I finished him at last:

What in the hell is this thread all about?! Cultist Fashion Week? lol
Seriously! The all look very cute (maybe culty?).
I donīt have any cultist yet (except for the Mansion of Madness BG) but I think yellow, purple or red would be my way to go.
