Title: Red VS Blue Post by: ChromeAngel on March 08, 2011, 09:19:07 PM I initially wanted the genstealers in EX to have the classic coloring from their original appearance in SpaceHulk, a blue carapace with piny purple flesh. So that's how it was textured for the original renders (as you can see on the media page).
(http://www.40ksource.com/refs/Stealer_Blue.png) Once we got this model into the mod though, he really stuck out like a sore thumb. We've built such a strong branding with the Tyranid colour scheme in EX the blue stealer looks really odd. So I knocked up this Red version of the stealer to better fit in. (http://www.40ksource.com/refs/Stealer_Red.PNG) I would like to hear get your opinions of which is the better colour scheme for the stealer.

so one hive got its own color yes , im saying that red is quet fits the place but you could combine those as well , because those creatures were people Title: Re: Red VS Blue Post by: Farseer on March 09, 2011, 08:49:14 AM Black and Red please... however with some tweaks...
Transfer the flesh red over to the carapace, and a lighter red for the flesh. Give that a shot. Title: Re: Red VS Blue Post by: Typheron on March 09, 2011, 12:51:50 PM I agree with farseer, black and red but more in line with the warriors colour tones.

Title: Re: Red VS Blue Post by: Big Mek Fro on March 09, 2011, 07:44:03 PM I have to agree with keeping the colouring the same or it won't look quite as good. However I was thinking instead of having a brown or red carapace someone mentioned that above. How about maroon? That's the best of both.

Title: Re: Red VS Blue Post by: Typheron on March 10, 2011, 12:23:34 PM Im still thinking that it needs the light red of the warrior on the carapace and the dark red/brown of the skin aka said warrior.
this is a hive strain 'stealer were talking about here, not a purestrain from a cult. Title: Re: Red VS Blue Post by: ChromeAngel on March 10, 2011, 06:58:40 PM My first attempt at the red version had brown/black skin and red carapce like the rest of the nids, but it just did not look right. I decide to swap the flesh and carapace colours to see how it looked, that version was better so I posted it in the poll.
Title: Re: Red VS Blue Post by: Roguelike on March 12, 2011, 04:00:53 AM A concern I have would be seeing these little guys in a dirt/grass/dark field. Due to colour blindness that part of the spectrum blurs together making it more than difficult to tell features (ie. a bug running forward).
Knowing it would be rediculous for the thing to be very bright and easily picked out at a distance, and that having 2 default blue teams would be kind of weird. I just wanted to put this fact out for consideration. |
