What's the most under-represented colour in Warhammer 40k, and how do we fix it?
I can firmly say it's not red.
Fucking everything is red.
>>46946111
Brown?
>>46946111
Pink. Off the top of my head the only faction with any Pink is chaos, and that's only slaanesh and tzeench.
Orange
>>46946543
Definitely orange.
>>46946543
Yup
>>46946543
yup no orange anywhere, off the top of my head in the entire of GW there are squigs and flames only
>>46946543
Is that samus
>>46946543
Orange and brown, we need more of those.
>>46947218
>>46946543
All my corsairs got Orange Hairs for that very reason
>>46947218
Fire Dragons have orange armor, and the studio paint scheme for the Corsair Eldar is orange-ish (might also be a very dark yellow, but I say it's close enough). It is a very rare color, though.
>>46946111
Octarine
>>46947242
No, definitely not. Why would you even think that? are you retarded?
Don't tau have primarily orange equipment?
>>46947534
They made it white now.
You're all forgetting about purple. I never see orks in purple.
Mahogany
>>46946543
Came here to post this.
I accidentally made orange-ish marines once when I painted Averland sunset over black primer, and it hit me that I'd never seen orange represented in 40k.
I'm having difficulty figuring out a scheme that would work well with it. Maybe dark silver and a kind of light blue?
>>46947534
>>46948055
Tau's equivalent of Ultrasmurfs (it's not the "official" uniform colour scheme, just the one GW used as representative) used to be "Ochre", but that's more like an orange-tinted brown than a legitimate orange in its own right.
>>46948092
Soul Drinkers, Slaaneshi, demons of Tzeentch and sometimes Deldars
>>46948092
In-universe purple is the colour for "sneaky Orks", for suitably comedic reasons. If you weren't deliberately referencing that, it's a funny coincidence you stumbled into.

Also, purple is well-represented already. The Emperor's Children are purple to pink, and the loyalist Hawk Lords and Soul Drinkers chapters are purple. It works well with gold/yellow trim.
>>46947397
Ultramarines 6th Company is trimmed in orange. Jokaeros are orange. Howling Banshees sometimes have orange hair. Also, craftworld Lugganath's color is orange.
>>46946543
I was going to say pink, but Emperor's Children shows why nobody else has pink armor.
Orange, brown, certain shades of purple.
Teal.
>>46950556
I think pink is Slaanesh in general. Also Pink Horrors.
>>46946543
That's because orange is the worst color desu
>>46948092
That's because purple is stealthy.
>>46948092
>>46948686
EMPEROR'S FUCKING CHILDREN LEGION
>>46950917
if you were any closer, you'd be sorry
>>46948092
best joke
>>46948580
>and a kind of light blue
Blue always goes well with orange, and vice versa, so yes.
>>46948092
Yoo just ain't flash enuff.

I disagree anon, but to each their own.
>select all images with an orange
Captcha is creeping me out.
>>46958584
Nigga that might as well be black and orange
>>46958635
It's quite clearly blue, anon, nothing wrong with a really deep blue like that. And if one hue doesn't work you just play with them until you find another one that does, it's not like you're stuck with one shade of either.
'Sup.
>>46958852
>It's quite clearly blue
I opened it up in Paint. It's apparently some kind of off-grey. The value for green are nearly as high as the value for blue. It's a very dark version of charcoal found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shades_of_gray#Cool_grays
>>46958852
Hey senpai, whats the program you use to make them Space Marines
>>46958852
Couple more examples.
>>46958944
>Cool grays are colors that are noticeably blueish gray
You're being more that a bit pedantic, anon. Those shoes are listed as blue, and that's because they're quite clearly within the blue spectrum.
>>46959002
Search for "Chapter Generator" in the bolterandchainsword forums and you should be able to find it.
>>46959049
Thank you sir
>>46959049
>>Cool grays are colors that are noticeably blueish gray
>You're being more that a bit pedantic, anon.
It's an off-grey, not a cool grey. If it's a grey it ain't a blue.
>>46959630

Anon, those shoes are blue.
>>46947491
Power fist and plasma gun.
I think blue might be underused. Blue or maybe black
But seriously.
Orange, or metallics.
I dream of making space Marines with an iridescent paintjob
Or a metallic blue/green/black whatever.
I get sick of seeing gloss when their armor is supposed to be metal.
But I guess I'm just over thinking it
>>46946543
Like 90% of Tau are orange, and they're every cuck's fantasy army.
>>46959971
Cuck?
It's not orange, it's more of a tan.
Why is a tau a cuck? Thats the imperium
I think the color of a skull is underrepresented.
There are not enough skulls in W40k
Back when Space Marine multiplayer was big, my chaos marine scheme was orange with black chaos trim. Ended up looking surprisingly badass.

I think brown is the least represented. You really never see brown marines on the table. People often experiment with orange and pink, but rarely ever brown. I've actually seen some orange nids and pink slannesh marines , but never an army that utilized brown as their main color. I suppose guard could pull it off, but I've still never seen it.
>>46963043
I see brown tau and IG as part of their camo.
Brown 'nids and kroot aren't unknown either. And the Snakebites main colour is brown.
>>46963292
I've never seen models with overwhelming brown schemes. I have seen orange and pink schemes though.
>>46946543
dont Eldar fire dragons use orange and red?
>>46946543
The pyre are a pretty cool Orange CSM warband DESU senpai
>>46946111
How many things are a light powder blue?
Like a sky blue. Not a royal blue, or deep blue.
>>46946111
Purple, the only purple factions I can think of are pre heresy Emperors Children and the Soul Drinkers, both of which are gone now
>>46962694

Underated post
>>46946543
S-sons?
>>46946543
I had a thread based on the lack of the colour orange. I'm convinced that one of the Missing Legions has a orange colour.
If you look through every Space Marine Chapter and Chaos Space Marine Warband; only four or five have the colour orange.
>>46964415
how many have brown?
>>46964415
I found my thread.
https://desustorage.org/tg/thread/44939312/
We only have four;
Knights of Gryphonne
The Pyre
The Reborn
Angels Resplendent
That's literally it. A Missing Legion must have had their primary colour as Orange to cause future Space Marine Chapters to not use the colour.
>>46964454
No idea, I'll have a quick check.
Maybe the Missing Legions are coloured Orange and Brown.
>>46964488
They were purged for revering and styling themselves after the filthy xenos their Primarch had been raised by.
Orange does get some representation, like the ryza color scheme for admech and skitarii
>>46964624
Haha, great heresy indeed.
>>46964590
I had a quick check. Again, we only have one Chapter which is the;
Knights of Dorn (only half of their armour).
http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Knights_of_Dorn
The 'Patriarchs of Ulixis' have a light Brown but their armour is mostly red.
The Hammers of Dorn have a primary black and secondary orange so there is some more Orange even it's very slight.
SCREAM TO BE HEARD
>>46948092
Thanks doc
>>46964726
False!
Hammers of Dorn colors are Black and Brass.
>>46965781
Well, it does look somewhat orange. We're struggling here for orange!
Yellow. Off the top of my head I can only think of 4 in game armies that use it as a primary and for good reason. That's a real bitch to paint and I ain't got the time for that tomfoolery.
>>46963043
>>46946111
Octarine
>or maybe it's all over the place and we just can't tell
>>46946543
To be fair, orange is one of those pain in the ass just to get on a mini right kinda paints.
