Than...That's fine I understood it all I think! <br />Thanks for the tip on colour theory. I was tempted to paint the cuffs and collars Dark Angels Green so I might do that in future then, but I want to keep the trousers black as I have never liked the blue trousers. <br />Its weird because I loved your rough riders as soon as I saw them, thought they looked outstanding! I would never have guessed the colour scheme was over emphasising how good the models were, even though I think you are being very modest as they look very well painted to me!Bufferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03760231317600749021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807233209202436680.post-21650052362995127382012-01-08T13:13:23.024+00:002012-01-08T13:13:23.024+00:00Ooh a bit of colour theory I like it!

I also agree with the helmet mention, try it with the browny khaki colour instead of white.Colonel Winterbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335124398357546922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807233209202436680.post-36072249743521513572012-01-08T10:45:36.469+00:002012-01-08T10:45:36.469+00:00sorry about the grammar and wording- I should have...sorry about the grammar and wording- I should have proof read it!Col.

After looking at al...I have a point to think about. After looking at all of my models over the years there were some colour schemes that I really love and some that I really don't. As it turns out the ones that I really like all have one thing in common. Good Colour theory. The standard rules are limit models to 3 main colours and make them as complementarity as possible. This means opposite colours. To find exact opposition colours I use this colour wheel <br /><br />http://colorschemedesigner.com/<br /><br />When it works people will like your models despite of the paint job, but not know why. an example is the rough riders I have painted recently. They are an exact triad of dark red, beep blue and deep yellow (which I actually made gold-ish). I actually thought that Winterborne's were painted better but a lot of people liked mine more. sooo anyway, to the point. If you are going to paint red (obviously) put green on the model. OR put 2 other colours: purple and orange, Blue and yellow, or any two hues that form a triangle with red on the wheel. this is why the standard for Praetorians have blue pants, while historically it is more of a black. the brown of the helmet is actually a hue of orange or yellow forming your third colour.Col.
