Dark green armour and tan clothing evokes the traditional Cadian 8th colour scheme from the Imperial Guard (or Astra Militarum if you want to be on brand), something that a successful group may want to emulate &#8211; it looks good to the client if your group turns up looking like the bees knees. The other colour reference with this combination of colours (especially with leather boots) is it definitely evokes the American airborne of WW2 which I admit I quite like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1910\" height=\"1432\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/PXL_20201213_142435251.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16902\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/PXL_20201213_142435251.jpg 1910w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/PXL_20201213_142435251-150x112.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1910px) 100vw, 1910px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The colour list for this scheme so far is<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Black Undercoat<\/li><li>Russian Uniform &#8211; Armour<\/li><li>Iraqi Sand &#8211; Cloth<\/li><li>Mahogany Brown &#8211; pouches + boots<\/li><li>Leadbelcher &#8211; metal<\/li><li>Black Templar Contrast &#8211; pistol grips + optics casing<\/li><li>Sand Yellow &#8211; colour stripes<\/li><li>Khorne Red &#8211; antenta optics<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of techniques, I tried out a few specific things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Rather than only a single wash, I decided to double wash just to double down on the effects (making the dips darker)<\/li><li>After the wash, I went back to the armour and highlighted the raised portions with the base colour, just to make it stand out a little more from the washed areas. this can be seen especially on the shoulder pads<\/li><li>Using contrast paint over metallic leads to a really nice lacquered effect, making it look like plastic compared to the bulk of the metal<\/li><li>The base was done the same as my Eldar bounty hunter&#8217;s except I repainted the edds<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Next week (or today when this goes up), I&#8217;m going to get to work on my next enforcer.
