Reply To: Stuff painted by me

Hello everyone, I need a bit of help/advice with my Votann

When I first saw their helmets they reminded me of the NASA space  helmets so I wanted to paint them that way. Then I wanted to test some of the new Contrast paints so I bought the blue and purple ones.

Then I used all these for my colour scheme.

So here they are, as this is a tets I only used base colours so no shading or highlighting. Sure the blue of the trousers, the purple of the armour and the brown of the little bags are Contrast colours so they have a bit shading andhighlighting giong on.

 

I really like the blue, purple nad gold. I’m not so sure on the grey for the gloves and knee and arm pads. In GW’s own colour schmes they use one colour for all those parts, so I did the same. First I thought about red but I think red pads would look bad.
Now I’m thinking maybe I should paint the gloves red? The next question would be what to do with the chest light, standard yellow as most lights or blue or even a green colour?

Then there is the question about the rivets on the armour. Purple, or a metall colour, maybe the copper from the backpack or a more normal steel colour?

And last but not least we got the weapons, I always paint the black, but I thought why not use a differnet colour than alsway black, the question is though would this work here? Maybe a red or a dark grey?

What do you guys think, any ideas or would you change anything else?
