  • Creating schemes can be a massive roadblock to painting your army. You want to be unique and stand out but also not making an ugly scheme. In this video, I show you everything I might consider while developing your own scheme, actually do it, and then refine it for painting large quantities of miniatures.

    This video is exactly what I needed to overcome my hobby burn out. I was feeling unmotivated and frustrated at my inability to pick a unique colour scheme for my army.

    Also take care when it comes to RATIO of your colour choices. For example: when thinking about the WARMTH of colours: either going for 90% warm colours and 10% cold details for example or the other way around is gonna give you an awesome feel of contrast and attention to certain things. Easy example for this: painting a blood Raven space marine in a warm dark Red and then adding a few cold green or neon green visor, blaster or mashinery detail is really gonna make everything more interesting and set a better contrast then just putting a warm buttery green eyevisors onto an already bright red clown...to even further that offset one can play with the other techniques mentioned in this great video!

      I remember coming across a 60/30/10 rule for character design. You pick three colours, one covers 60% of the character, the next 30%, and the last 10%. It's a rough template to play with, but it works well with your ratio. Like, a winter-gear soldier with white armour/overalls, some blue/grey areas, and then a yellow/orange visor. Makes the colours pop :D

I have been thinking about painting a set of Orange marines, and questioning how I can include blue in it without making just straight up orange and blue marines. I think painting in some shadows with a touch of dark navy, and highlighting black accents with a blue/grey highlight would look really good.

    Thank you for another informative video Scott! I just wanted to add that there is an app called Impcat, that lets you plan your scheme on various template miniatures ranging from Games Workshop to Artel W. There is a community on Reddit creating new templates and you can take a hight quality pic of your unpainted mini and request someone make a template out of it too. The app also already has the Vallejo Game Colour and Model Colour ranges in the app but I believe you could upload Citadel or Scale75 paints as well.
    I'm in no shape or form affiliated with the developer, but it's a great tool to have. My current financial situation does not allow me to start a new army but I still play around in this app from time to time because it's just so convenient. You don't just select basecoats but also shades and highlights.
    Again I'm not a shill, it's just that good and a wonderful complement to the useful advice that has been given in this video.

    You suggested using Gimp or Paintshop to have a preview of your scheme: From Gimp I know it (and I would assume a paytool like Paintshop has something similar): You can enable extra filters for viewing your image to see what a colorblind person would see. With this you could even paint your units, so they look nice for the color blinds.

    I always like to consider pushing contrast with different finishes, Using metallics for example to help sneak in those extra colours. I was able to convince a friend who originally going for a teal and black scheme on some dark eldar , but was never quite satisfied with the end results, to throw in some bronze on things like knee pads, filigree and other bits and adding that 3rd "detail" colour really helped make the whole scheme pop

    I decided to apply your whole bit about adding flavor to your army to get your color scheme with my Sisters of Battle. I play the Order of the Bloody Rose, and if I had to define them in a phrase it would be "Doomslayer Nuns", they're by far the most firebranded and aggressive in their zealotry of the Orders Militant, I wanted to reflect that by having their weapons, armor and scenery caked in the blood of their enemies, I had some of the bolter barrels covered in blood to show they'd been fired at point-blank, for example, and add some flecks of blood to the faces, armor, robes and what-not.
    I also decided to spice them up with some chipping battle-damage, as the 8th Edition Codex states the Bloody Rose don't take a single rest or respite until the job of annihilating the mutant, alien and heretic is done, to reflect they'd been on campaign without a break for quite some time. That also tied in with having them covered in blood, it's not only a kind of battle-trophy to them, but it reflects how they're beyond taking so much as a moment to re-polish their armor to make them look more like the heroes of the Imperium like the Order of the Ebon Chalice might.
    For the bases I wanted to have them in a Cathedral setting not only to reflect the whole motif of the Adepta Sororitas, but to have a more narrative aspect of echoing how the Saint of the Bloody Rose, Saint Mina was praying in a chapel before being ambushed by a heretical cult, after which she slew them to a man before dying of her wounds, and now her descendants are caught in the same sort of situation, where the Cathedral stone is broken, cracked and running red with blood.
    I know that's a bit of a ramble, but maybe I'm taking a page out of your book in that ;) I do think it was a fun brain-storming session, and I can't wait to put it in practice. I'm going to try out some contrast paint, although applying it more conservatively than the old GW tutorials reccomended to get a cleaner look.

    If you have any of the Dawn of War games, there's an army painter which allows you to try out different color schemes. That's how I chose the colors for my Space Marine chapter. Also, there are templates online that you can find.

    When i started my current Chaos warrior army bag in the day. I knew i didn't want to paint them primary Black or silver so i painted a couple of test models.i went with a bone white for the armor and green for the capes and banners. I actually didn't think of color theory, i chose paints that i liked and experimented with them.

    I love the Adobe color scheme creator. I used to live on that site when making overlays for streamers. I never stuck exactly to what it said but it was a helpful tool.
    I used to use another that gave secondary and tertiary colors that still worked together but didn't clash

    get a list of complementing colours you like and arrange them in a dartboard shape on a piece of paper once you've done that throw a dark or a sharpie anything that'll pin or choose that scheme for you it's how I came up with my marine colours and honestly love the scheme.

  • @wezab
    @wezab Před 4 lety

    The other issues I consider when working on colour schemes is how I interpret what the model is and its accoutrements. For example I am currently practising on Death Guard with Contrast and Metallic paints. I don't see the guard as having bright colours despite the shade of green used in the scheme, (And I did base my scheme on the green on the box art). Instead of treating the sharp protrusions from the body as bone, I decided it was more like horn, like in deer etc. Then I went further and based black, overlaid with brown and tipped with scarlet. It looks dark but works. Tentacles are purple like octopus. Accessories like the brass bells also have that verdigris on them post shading in the old GW Flesh Wash and rimming with the original colour. All dark, dark, dark. Now my force is looking traditional Plague Marine with a twist. And we all know they're twisted. It is about how you see there detail in addition to the main palette.

    hey are you ever gonna put anything on top of those cupboards you have back there, you have such a nice layout and aesthetic that I think it would look really nice to fill in those spaces with some larger statues ( maybe even blow up a 40k figure from each group and have them lineup together ) something like 12 inches could work to stay in the frame.
    but at the end of the day, it's your choice. I've been watching your videos for a while and always have fun watching your content, hopefully, ill be able to afford to give this hobby justice, till then I hope you don't mind living through you. :)

    I don't paint much in the way of armies these days; it's mostly one-offs for RPGs or skirmish games. Which means that I'm not stuck with picking a color scheme that I can stand to look at for the next 5 years, but also means that I'm constantly picking a new color scheme for whatever is next.
    I've used color wheels and they're fine, but they do tend to push you toward samey after a while. So these days, I tend toward different sources:
    * Is there a color that I want more practice with? (White robes with purple accents turned out pretty well and the white practice was really useful.)
    * Is there a technique that I'd like to try? (TMM with painted tints in reflections was an interesting attempt, but I need to try more of that sort of thing and push it harder next time.)
    * Is there a color combination that I haven't done lately, or some variation that might be interesting? (The wizard I painted in lime green and magenta actually turned out much better than I thought it might.)
    * Can I paint a figure with a limited palette? (Burnt Sienna and Dioxazine Purple with black and white for tinting, toning, and shading worked really well. And next time I could leave out the black and use a chromatic black instead. And monochrome is on my list.)
    * Is there some color that I bought because I thought it looked really interesting but I've never seriously used it? (See the lime green wizard above.)
    * Is there some color combination I've seen in the wild (nature, product packaging, movie costumes, whatever -- Scott alluded to this) that would be fun to try? (Might be the next mini I paint.)
    * Is there some color scheme that seems like it couldn't possibly work? How can I make it work after all?
    All of these help keep painting fresh for me..
    ps. If you're going to try out your color scheme with Photoshop, paint the colors on a different layer and set that layer to a "Color" blend mode. Preserves the details while also showing the colors. And if you start with a zenithal (or other directional) priming scheme, you can get a very reasonable understanding of how the colors will actually work.

  • @byLemon12
    @byLemon12 Před 4 lety +1

    Another one to consider is sometimes the basing scheme. It can often influence how your paint scheme will fit or should look.
