Today's Hobby Update features my Eliminator Primaris Squad. These are the Primaris snipers of the army, able to take on enemy characters from range and without line of sight.
I tried the grey camo cloaks on the model. Not too keen on how it turned out, but it is growing on me slowly.
Whilst they look great, is it too late to suggest that the camo cloaks should be a mimic of the surrounding terrain colours, so either add some grey masonry or rocks to the bases or repaint the cloaks a brown / tan / green camouflage to match the environment? Fine as is, but that is what is probably a little 'off' in your mind? The easiest would be add some grey rocks/bricks/stone/rubble? Nice addition regardless mate!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I thought about painting them to match the bases. However, I liked the grey scheme of the models on the official ones and they have brown bases, so thought I might get away with it.
DeleteI will probably add some grey stones to the base to bring it together.
I feel much the same as Siph. They're good in and of themselves, but those camo cloaks would work much better in combination with ash waste or urban basing. They could also use another couple of rounds of adding random shapes in different colours. It always takes more of them than you expect to make a really good camo pattern.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I seemed to add a lot to them, but they were still pretty barren looking when I had finished.
DeleteI think the blocks are good as is, but you could put an edge highlight of brighter colour on them to bring them out, maybe? Or not - nothing wrong with subtle camo. Much better than the bright, garish kind!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestion! Will need to go back and look at them.
