There are several examples of people painting full plate armour by polishing and washing bare metal miniatures, so that might be a starting point...

So bare metal marines with forum-green shoulderpads, backpacks and helmets, black weapons and some lead rot around the feet?

Yeah that won't work with plastic miniatures.....

I think some sort of forum green scheme with black weapons. Just need a chapter badge....

Obviously. I've got an entire box of RTB01 marines lying about, everything still on sprue. I might well dedicate a few to something silly like this, and they'd be a plain tan plastic as opposed to shiny metal. Maybe the metal is just for officers and veterans then?

Just replace bare metal for bare plastic for the rank and file marines...

The castle tower with the moon behind it for the chapter symbol?

Something like this?
The dreaded "lead tower"

(I'm not a graphic artist and apologise to everybody's sensibilities)

EDIT:
Refined the shape a bit.

I like that tower/moon design.

I like that tower/moon design.

Thanks! It might need some more walls at the bottom to enhance the "looming" feel the top banner castle has, but I think it has potential.

Beige - #f6f6d6
Dark Camo - #999966
Light Camo - #cccc99

Forum colours including hex codes.

Try it on the B&C Space Marine Painter?

Nice job guys.

Could we also an an actual camo-scheme as an alternative scheme for veterans of the Badab Wars or something?

MYNKD · « **Reply #6880 on:** July 04, 2017, 07:09:47 PM »

Actually, what wars would the Lead Champions have gotten involved in? The Vestfalen Wars?

So who's making Chapter Master Witchheimer?

Elbows · « **Reply #6882 on:** July 04, 2017, 08:41:09 PM »

That's a good point...we'd have to establish Chapter positions for the major mods, etc.

Oh, and let's do a simple logo so that some of us who suck at painting can maybe swing it free-hand.

Is that tower I did on the previous page too complicated for ya?

Elbows · « **Reply #6884 on:** July 04, 2017, 10:27:01 PM »

I didn't see that one. It's not super easy, but it's do-able. The hardest part would be the white circle. I'd be up for doing some kind of simple Space Marine squad in those colours.

Any thoughts on the veterans (white helmets?). Sergeants, devastators, assault marines and their different colour helmets?
