If I were starting my Russes afresh now they wouldn't be painted this way.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for both the comments and coursework encouragement. I'll get it done this weekend whilst Kate's away. Maybe. <BR/><BR/>And as for the 109 camouflage on a tank? It's <I>really</I> hard to make it look good. Mostly it comes out 'splotchy'.<BR/><BR/>- Drax.Admiral Draxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476823273954165890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-51181140397893171062009-02-27T14:35:00.000+00:002009-02-27T14:35:00.000+00:00Very cool!Very cool!onihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00826913158717010235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-35825606641721254102009-02-27T14:28:00.000+00:002009-02-27T14:28:00.000+00:00I say, grade the students on an arbitrary curve.

(q.v. this post: http://wfarcadia.blogspot.com/2008/12/go-guard.html)<BR/><BR/>When I painted my Leman Russes, I thought for a while and settled on a simple pattern like yours, but with Chaos Black and Dark Angels Green. This was before Catachan Green (aka olive drab) came out. Once it did, I started rethinking my camo scheme, but after wavering back and forth a bit, I decided to stick with the DA Green and Chaos Black. <BR/><BR/>Then other cool camo-like colors came out like Knarloc Green...and I constantly find myself thinking about trying a new scheme...but at the same time I want all my vehicles to have the same scheme since they're from the same unit...sigh.<BR/><BR/>Still, it is true that while models that are painted with effective camouflage schemes look more realistic, it is also true that armies painted in bold, bright colors look fantastic on the tabletop. <BR/><BR/>With that in mind, I still spend way too much time thinking about what I want to paint any new guard models I get... With Space Marines, it's easy. Their color schemes are predefined for the most part. For IG, it's not so easy!
