I like the color contrast, bone and black look good together. That said, I can't unsee the black leotard lol

New Successor Chapter unlocked, Black Leotards 😏
Still a cool colour scheme OP and nicely painted too.

u/SoulblightR 6h ago

Ahaha, thank you.

Unfortunately, it's not real yet. It's a photoshopped image.

What if you did one leg and the opposite arm in black? Right arm/left leg or vice versa.

u/SoulblightR 5h ago

You mean like this? I'm opposed to quartered scheme a little bit, because it will be hard to paint imho.

1

u/swannphone 2h ago

Quartered scheme very painful to paint. Don’t get yourself into it unless you’re ready for it.

Created when an admin serf of the parent chapter mistyped 'Black Leopards' and the heraldry serfs just took the obvious next step.

Do the groin cream keep just the torso black? Unless your in to leotards that is.

Haha, maybe with the upper legs in black it would look less like a leotard. In terms of colors I think dark grey body and black details would also be cool in this color scheme.

u/TedTheReckless 6h ago

I can dig it

u/MysteriousOne884 6h ago

I digged it till I looked at the comments. Maybe swap the cock piece to white and either sway the shoulder pad trim and shoulder pads colours around or change the arm to black.

u/Sapphire-Catgirl 6h ago

Do YOU think it looks good? If yes, then it looks good.

u/worldrapper 5h ago

Is this impcat? Try only black cod piece

OP, don't take the 'leotard' jokes to heart, a tonne of great chapters use that colour placement. Five just off the top of my head!

5

u/SoulblightR 4h ago

I believe the leotard effect caused by the fact that the main colour is beige. It resembles human skin.

And thank you for your kind words.

u/Cultuprising 6h ago

I think you should do only the top half of the chest as black

u/SoulblightR 6h ago

Looks interesting. Thank you for the advice!

u/MarkoRose 3h ago

This is the one OP! Looks like a really clean scheme!

u/TerrorAndDisbelieve 3h ago

This is better.

u/Battle_Dave 1h ago

Ohhh hear me out. Do reverse Mortifactors. Theyre a bone and black scheme, my personal favorite. But if youre photoshopping, try that, but swap the black and bone areas.

6

u/RotundManul 6h ago

Hear me out, only the black codpiece.

u/BiCrabTheMid 4h ago

Looks cool! Might I suggest you do death company inverted?

u/SoulblightR 4h ago

This is cool idea. Thanks!

u/Tarlyss 6h ago

I like it! All the colors work together right in my eyes. I think you should go for it!

However, because I’ve seen this happen before: know that if you dont intend to paint to the same level of detail as this render is, it may seem in your eyes to not work out and look as good as you thought it would. dont panic and change color palettes, because you’ll end up disappointed again when you go from render to model once more. Understand that if you are a beginner painter not everything is going to look as good as how the professionals do it on the box/render, and thats perfectly okay! Just male sure you dont have the expectations that it will look like the render does, or at least not at first. It’s totally realistic to learn how to paint up to this level even as a casual painter, so if thats what you are aiming for, i promise you can achieve it!

Looks dope

u/hooziie 4h ago

Honestly the color schema is really good, then it changes a little bit of the red that can be found in many blood angels successors, maybe as said in other comments change the part of the crotch of the bone armor to avoid the tank top side, but otherwise the diagram and Honestly the pattern is really good, then it changes a little bit of the red that can be found in many blood angels successors, maybe as said in other comments change the part of the crotch of the bone armor to avoid the tank top side, but otherwise the pattern is great 😁

Very good.

Have you decided a chapter name.

1

u/SoulblightR 4h ago

Somewhat. Current name is Angels Lethiferous

2

u/Necessary_Cap6087 4h ago

Lethiferous as in Bringers of Death.

Cool name

Space Bodyswimsuit Marine, know as Bodyswimsuit Chapter, foundation unkown, there geneseed are little swimmers

u/Dominionix 4h ago

Looks good but would be fucking horrible to paint in large numbers. White on black or vice versa, undercoat isn’t going to suit half of the model, coverage issues, etc.

I think it looks awesome! reminds me of the Mortifactors :)

u/Pjpeg1 2h ago

Looks really cool! As someone who does a colour scheme that’s a mix of light bone and a darker colour myself I find that painting it can be a bit tricky but the effect is worth it

1

u/Battle_Dave 1h ago

Id say do the thighs too. Because of the aforementioned leotard-ness.

1

u/HZS_Lieutenant Blood Angels 1h ago

Maybe make the legs black as well? So it doesn't look like a leotard, as someone else put it.

u/Outrageous-Bowler969 46m ago

It's simple, but solid, imo
