Title: Show me your Cultists robes!
Post by: Bergh on February 05, 2013, 09:03:20 PM
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.

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.

That's may be why purple is so popular :

Title: Re: Show me your Cultists ropes!
Post by: Dolmot on February 06, 2013, 02:56:07 PM
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/). :)

I feel really left out  :'( my cultists don't wear robes. I think they spent all the coven miner on cider instead.

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.

Very good "Yellow Cult"... but be careful "yellow" means "you know who"...

Am I late? Here are some pictures of my growing cults:

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.

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:

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.
