How could we know? Those boxes vary greatly in size.
I'm not sure how to upload multiple images at a time, so I made an album on imgur. The contemptor is what I am proud of, torso and right arm are magnetized.
Any thoughts? I know zero about basing, so any ideas on that would be welcome. This is supposed to be at the siege of terra.

I should probably invest in a device with which to hold my phone to take pictures; sorry for the blur.
>>48281417
photos are definitely decent, paintjob is fine, but obviously you made a lot of imperfections, which you will learn to fix.remember to shade and highlight each colour, even the white which you left flat and the black.Also don't do things you can't do, that stomped marine looks silly with the unmodified legs
>>48280115
What an exquisite doot guy
>>48281537
>>48281537
Would you shade white/black with nuln oil or something else?
Also, what legs would you recommend?
I could cut them and re-glue with green stuff, but have never used it.
>>48281630
it wouldn't be tha hard to adjust those legs with green stuff,but yes you would need that. About shading you should know thatit doesn't only mean what GW sells as shades,to shade white you can just leave a grey part in the recesses and highlight the rest so that it looks like a shade or glaze a grey colour. For black to be shaded effectively you need to start from a dark grey.
>>48281676
The white areas I started in a bone color and filled it in with white.
The black ones started out as eshin grey (kind of a medium one) and went black.
What I did not do was change the amount of white/black towards the edges. Should I do that?
I admit I hadn't done anything like the smashed iron warrior, but I thought it would be cool and fluffy.
>>48281719
>>48281537
It may be worth noting I did actually cut the left arm to re-angle it so that it appeared he was clawing at the contemptor, it wasn't just everything glued together as normal.
I thought about cutting the left leg so that the foot would be on the ground and the knee bent back, and the green stuff doesn't intimidate me, but getting a clean cut without killing a good centimeter or two of the model does.
>>48281719
It might be the pics, but the captain looks flat black, not eshing grey, also what do you mean with filled in? I really don't see the bone line on the edges. Also you can always GS back what you sawed away.
>>48281850
The templar probably has too many coats of black since I primed him with the bone color instead of black. I didn't realize until I was looking at the lore pictures that there was so little yellow on templar.
Ty for criticism, I am not trying to be defensive. I appreciate learning new stuff. I might try some GS usage tomorrow.
I haven't done the captains for either my tactical squads or the templar squad. I want to get a good feel for what looks good and what doesn't first.
I'm trying to figure out exactly how to paint my space lizard's weapons. Obv. some of the figures are not done, but weapons will have a gold trim. I'm attempting to show captured kind of a celestial energy in their weapons.
Any votes for 1,2, or 3? Any suggestions for other options to fit this idea?
>>48281261
I might not need any of these bits but by god I'll have them if I ever do.
Actually what do you guys use to store your extra bits? I've got a small tackle box for my space marines and Tau bits and one of those plastic containers that pewter sets would come in to store everything else.
>>48282199
also any feedback on my color scheme in general? I'm going for a dark (deep) space-themed lizard setup with purples and blues.
Got a load of empty 17ml dropper bottles to transfer my Citadel paints into. Anyone here done that and got any tips? Especially if you've done it with metallics since those don't thin quite the same as other paints.
>>48282233
Dat Eversor tho.
sup /tg/ I figure this is the right place to ask this, I've had a co-worker ask me to do commission paint jobs for him does anyone have experience with this? what should I charge?
>>48282233
>Actually what do you guys use to store your extra bits?
A bitz cabinet. What else?
>>48282389
I'd say it depends on how good you are at painting, and the time it takes you to paint + how chummy you are with your co-worker.
>>48282233
>>48282457
oh man I just have a spare batallion box and have them all strewn about. I think there's an oop metal galrauch in there still.
>>48282389
Don't underprice yourself. You'll likely become frustrated as you burn hours for little value. Don't lowball your price for the hopes of future business or for 'building your portfolio' or any of those other bullshit excuses cheap-asses use to try to get work for free or cheap.
Yes I know you might enjoy painting, but once you start getting paid for it, and have your co-worker bothering you every other day about if they're finished or not, it'll become less fun and more of a job to you.
Consider how much you want to make per hour for your time and then how much time it will think it will take you to paint the models. Then charge a little more because you'll likely run over time on the project, need to strip a model and start over, or need extra supplies or something. Build yourself a little flexibility in overhead so you're not cutting into your profits when those inevitable unexpecteds come up.
Commissioning works of art is not supposed to be cheep. If he has a unit of ten models and it takes you an hour apiece to go from sprue to table and you want $15 an hour, you're gonna need to charge $200 for it to be worth your time.
Of course if you're close friends you could consider asking him to buy you models, paints, supplies, or other things instead so that it becomes less transactional and more about the barter and the hobby that you two share together.
But please for the love of god, DO NOT UNDERSELL YOURSELF. If he only wants to pay $50 for painting that ten man unit, you're going to be making half of minimum wage when all is said and done. And at that point you almost might as well be doing it as a favor instead of having the pressure of the 'job' that you were paid for looming over you.
>>48282528
>oh man I just have a spare batallion box and have them all strewn about. I think there's an oop metal galrauch in there still.
These (>>48282457) are mostly metal, separated by model type (Terminators, Vanguard, Librarians, Mk VI Tacticals, spare arms, loose backpacks, etc.) with a few of the larger bins holding weird stuff like a plastic Mordheim mercenary warband or a squad of old RTB-01 beekees. I suppose if I wanted to swap bitz, I could bring the most interesting old fingz by just lugging these three boxes, but there's very little plastic in there newer than Third Edition.
>>48282613
... and the sprues that still have arms, weapons, and vehicle parts are in these boxes in the closet. I even have some of those goofy palm trees that came with the Third Edition boxed set!
>>48282199
I like the theme a lot, I like both 2 and 3 for the weapon option, reminds me of the world of Warcraft celestial weapons from ulduar which I thought were very cool.
Perhaps a slight lighter blue to highlight the scales, I'm not that much of an experienced painter so can't help you out really on how to improve. Maybe a dry brush would do it to help make it pop. Looks good anyway.
>>48280363
I'd throw some wash on them. It looks like you might have in some areas but it is inconsistent. A wash of some kind really should be applied to any nook and cranny to help give the model depth.
They are especially helpful in areas where two colors meet e.g. right above the knees
Spent months with a squad of deathwing sitting in a jar of superclean, just couldnt get that devils semen (white citadel primer) to strip. It was starting to flake off a little but i loathed the idea of scraping every square inch. Then, a flash of insight from my stoner days. Placed a model in a very small plastic container, salt, and a little bit of alcohol. About two minutes of vigorous shaking later, success. All but the deepest of crevices are now stripped clean. Quick scrape with a dental tool should finish the job.
Hope that trick helps someone in the future.
I put some space Marines in simple green for 18 hours and only the top layer of paint rubs off while all retain their primer or even another coat that hasn't desintegrated. Will another day be enough or is there a better option?
Started up on a new model for a new game today. So far only got basecoat + wash, but my god these models take paint like nobody's business.
I'm really happy with the color scheme. There was a moment of worry, but it is turning out pretty great.
My Tzaangors are finally complete!
It has been a long journey /tg/, much of which I have shared throughout the previous threads here.
Here is a sneak peak at the Ungors and their Cultist Champion.

>>48277553
>Which kit, exactly, has the sprue to create Johnny?
I know the new Blood Angels tactical squad has the "reloading" bitz, including an arm with a bolter magazine. I've heard the same is true of the Codex tactical squad as well.
Another anon made this model using the Blood Angels bitz and an old Phobos-pattern bolt gun. The metal Johnny is reloading his Umbra-pattern bolter, but unless you buy from Forgeworld, those might be hard to find in good condition.
>>48279779
>he is a two parts( i think) metal piece,no sprues
He meant to build a "reloading beekee" from modern parts.
>>48284780
New one is technically accurate, but is lacking emotion. He does not believe that magazine is Johnny and he is certainly not talking to it. That much is obvious ;)
He needs a bit more of a secretive honch with his he lowered and the clip raised to his "ear."
Otherwise... great :D

Hey there /wip/, it's me, Anon.

Not too sure about the red handle on his bayonet. On the one hand all the knives in my army have red handles, on the other I think it would look better black or brown.

It's great you've got your Dangle technique down so well and the red handle breaks up the monotony of a purely metallic gun, looks good.

Hey guys.
I asked for help yesterday in the last thread. A kind anon gave me some advise which I tried out today.
On the right is the guy I did yesterday with white gesso. It rubs off by just touching it which I've shown on the shoulder. Even with the coat of todays mix over the top.
Left one is todays one. I added a drop of game color scrofulous brown to the white gesso. I painted it thicker as advised but it still doesn't cover well and the brush streaks are crazy. It doesn't rub off on my thumb but I can still scratch it off.
Suggestions? Should I be painting it even thicker?
Megaboss, wish I did some thing differently but just have to finish off
>>48288143
this is Sex.
Does you whole army look that nice?
>>48288218
Oh you, he's the first actually, the model looked incredible and I bought it in a trance.
I think I'll pick up some more for sure and try to paint them in a similar style. I'd love to paint that fat Orky dragon but I need some rank and file first I think...
>>48288137
What exactly are you trying to accomplish here?
>>48288306
Priming with gesso. I know it's a thing but it seems shitty. I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong.
>>48288137
I replied to you last thread,(the second one who did), instead of trying to achieve an even coat with gesso, it's easier to leave it like that and give the model an all over base with a colour to even it up, at least that's what i do with bright colours which don't cover well. Also how much did it dry? It still looks strangely glossy. Even if it can be scraped away it should hold fine when you paint it,but gesso usually needs varnishing since it's more frail than actual primers.
>>48288419
Ok so its ease of being scratched off is expected?
It's fully dry as far as I know. It sat for over an hour.
The dried stuff on my pallet is about as glossy. I'm completely new to gesso so I have no context for if this brand is even bad. Most of the reading I'm doing talks about liquitex brand, which could be only in the US.
>>48288419
>>48288491
Ok so I found a post on dakka dakka showing some before and after post of wet and dry gesso.
When they say you can paint it on thick they really mean it. I'll have another go and really slop it on and see how it goes.
Dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/priming_with_acrylic_gesso
>>48288491
I think an hour is half dry, let it sit some more, it might even stick better. In my experience, what you are getting is normal, but for what i know we might be just doing the same mistake. I also don't use liquitex, but have never tried it either, also liquitex is sold here in italy too, so it should be around europe as well. Don't worry about scratching, the finished product will be safe.

>>48282233
I.... have a home.... full of boxes of bits.
I REALLY need to start selling on e-bay.
How should I do the bases for my Tyranids? I've been going with contrasting colors so far (grey urban bases for Blood Angels, red desert bases for Necrons), and my nids are going to be purple and blue. I was thinking about doing "jungle" bases, but considering that this army wpuld have the most models in it, I don't want to burn myself out on that level of effort.
Advice/inspo?
>>48286979
Maybe go for a red-wood, like mahogany? It would just allow you to add a bit more shading and highlighting to the handle?
>>48288143
Nice, I love the chainmail
>>48288623
I went with "Riot of Colours". Must remember to go back and paint the rest of the Slaaneshi stuff I have.
>>48286778
For a model that looks like you didn't thin your paints you did great
>>48288565
I'm in Australia but I looked liquitex up and they do sell it here in a chain store so I could pick some up.
I'll see how these guys go overnight now.
>>48288761
Well, Slaanesh used to be about rioting of colours.
I myself like to have everything in the same colour scheme.
The day we'll have a Slaanesh Daemonkinso neverI'll have already everything nice and ready.
>>48288987
Shit, I never notice my Raptors were that different (they were a present, I didn't paint them).
Oh, well.
>>48288766
Oh I thinned them down but good. Had to multiple layers for the blue/yellow. Any idea why it still looks iffy? Is it just my technique? How do I get rid of the tiny white dots without doing a bazillion layers? Thanks bro
>>48288987
>mould lines
>>48288766
His paints almost looks too thin in places and the undercoat shines through.
/tg/ seriously needs to learn how to spot thick paint.
>>48288941
Tell me if it behaves any different
>>48289144
I think your paint style is more suited to a black undercoat. White undercoats are a bitch and your models easily end up looking like they were painted with watercolors.
I usually give all my white-sprayed models a brown or black wash to tone them down before painting but still keep them kind of light.
Helps prevent white dots shining through in crevices too.
>>48289199
Yeah people tend to call thick randomly whenever they see satin/gloss paint applied sloppily
>>48289199
Thankyou my friend, see >>48289199
Any advice for me? Obviously I still need to repair him, do the highlights, finish the spear etc. More layers or thicker paints, or maybe another wash to cover the white bits?
>>48289230
Huh, that makes a heck of a lot of sense actually. Thanks! I just bought a start collecting box, so I'll try this out with the Farseer. Can I do it with tanks too, or is the surface area too big and the wash lines will be obvious?
>>48289230
Also I tried black undercoat, but it looked frankly terrible. Space Pansies like bright colours, or so I've been told.
>>48289287
Forgot pic related, used a black primer for this guy
>>48285515
You were eight years old.
>>48289244
You seem to be a bit afraid of getting paint in the crevices, like between his fingers and where two different colored parts meet.
Try blocking in a color before starting the next one. Like the yellow for example, cover everything that's supposed to be yellow but don't worry about getting paint on his gun or gems, the paint covers well enough that even if you get some yellow in the wrong place you can cover it up later.
The staff and gun have a kind of watercolor effect, I think they could use another layer of grey.
Mostly though I think you need to invest in some washes, the yellow parts would look great with some Yellow or Sepia wash.
Tl;dr: more layers on the grey and give the yellow parts a wash
>>48289287
Then go with white but give the model a wash to shade the recesses.
You seem to have the paint thinning down, now you have to work on your shades and highlights, and since you're starting from a white base just painting every part and then shading with an appropriate wash seems to be the easiest route.

what primer should i use? Does it cost a lot? if it does i would rather not use it if i can.
>>48288987
I have a couple of squads of Diaz Daemonettes somewhere.... They'll be less colourful. If I can ever be convinced to paint them.
im assembling a starter box and i accidental cut off more than i meant to, the joint of the arm that connects to the torso was cut abit to far down the shoulder that connect and is having trouble glueing together, should i maybe try pinning or glueing as best as i can then greenstuffing the cut area of the shoulder?
>>48289944
It barely costs anything and it's required unless you want to end up on the thin your paints wikipedia page
Essentially without primer you need to stick paint to paint to keep it in place

I've got like 30 of those waiting in line to be stripped, great models. Finding that lord is a pain in the arse though.
>>48290007
damn, i was joking, i thought you were too, read the first post you replied to, he is trying to prime the model.
>>48290049
With some sort of house wall primer
Never blended anything and wanted to do the gradual change to from red to light red to orange to white etc so i tried drybrushing (the spear and the halo thing)
What do you think?
>>48290067
man gesso priming is an affermed technique which a lot of competent painters use, he is not pulling it out ofhis ass. Google it.

heh, it's pretty bad, why don't you use actual blending techniques?
>>48289960
I have a lot of them too.
I prefer the new plastic ones to be honest, but fielding Diaz is about street cred.
I've almost finished Aenur. waiting for resin dungeon floor bases in the mail. Also need to colour match the boots, sightly different hues for some reason.
>>48290067
It's insane how outspoken morons are.
Guys, I'm tempted to rebase my necrons into square bases, Is this a bad idea?
>>48290197
yes?
Why would you do that.
>>48290197
If you want to play with them, yes.
If they are just eye candy, go for it.
>>48290148
i am afraid that blacklining is too strong, it needs to pass throught grey before getting to white,or you can use grey instead of black.(at least i am getting that impression)Because right now the contrast is so strong he looks like his legs and knife are sinking too much in the coat.
>>48290148
Ah beautiful, the Sword of Twilight, I remember getting mine on the cover of white Dwarf.
>>48290197
>>48290213
It would look cool? But yeah my shop guy seemed to be pretty lax on base shape
>>48290242
doesn't really sound like a good idea, say one day you want to play with an autist, or maybe one day you want to join a tournament. But yes square bases are so much better
>>48280363
Metallic paints are really hard to make a good coverage on large planes. I'd suggest what >>48282892 said. Otherwise it doesn't look bad.
>>48290257
So it's not that I'm wrong for liking it better, but the system is against me on it, fair enough, it would be a bit of a pain getting the bases now anyway with AoS discontinuing the square
Anyone else here stream their painting sessions? Would anyone be interested in watching for the next time I do?
>>48290280
That's one of the reasons I went with a polished stone look for my crons
>>48290294
What have you painted?
>>48290222
Thanks for the critique, I think you might be right.
>>48290223
Yup, me too. This is the same one I got back in 1999, maybe the third or fourth time I repainted him. I won't strip this version though.
>>48290294
if you upload them on youtube and are a decent painter and not crigny i would happily look at them. I would love to see a streaming too, but of course i can't guarantee i will be there.
>>48290294
That depends on many factors.
1. Do you talk as you do it?
2. Do you have ambient music as you do it?
3. Are you a good painter?
4. Do you have a good camera / streaming set up?
5. Hows your lighting?
>>48290294
i would love to see a streaming

You really need to crack open a color theory PDF friend, before you even think about painting the rest of your army like this.

Oooh really soft, I like it!
>>48288137
Anon - you generally want to prime your models first. Most primers for plastic bond with the plastic (so yes, you need to use care when priming) and provide a surface with some tooth (a bit of roughness) for the paint to bond with. Your acrylic gesso and acrylic paint are forming a weak bond with the very smooth surface of the plastic and rubbing off way to easily.
>>48288143
Nice. What model is this? I'd love to modify it for my 40K Orks.

Probably can't grab any for atleast a week and a half, but I'll post results here when I get it.
>>48290535
To make canvas into a flat surface, not really primer.
>>48290507
It's a great model, I bought the model in a trace.
But in case you didn't know he's a big guy.

just googled this for you. Primer does not mean "melts plastic", yes gesso was not created to prime palstic, but it's a primer nonetheless. Paint sticks to it perfectly and it can stick to minis well enough.(thought you NEED to varnish it if you mean to play with the mini)

How does it look if you just leave the armor plates off?
>>48290364
Yes
Yes, and I take requests
I wouldn't say I'm bad, but still fairly new
Yes, I have a DSLR streaming to OBS with a shitty webcam pointed at my pallet
Good, could be better. I have a strong white light under my magnifying glass and it can sometimes wash out lighter colors for the camera, I'm trying to come up with a solution to that.

>Triadic Color Scheme The triadic color scheme uses three colors equally spaced around the color wheel. This scheme is popular among artists because it offers strong visual contrast while retaining balance, and color richness. The triadic scheme is not as contrasting as the complementary scheme, but it looks more balanced and harmonious.
what the fuck is wrong with /wip/ today? Triadic scheme is litterally the most common scheme.(to be completely honest though your triadic colour scheme should be balanced with one colour being the most "important" and theother two taking much less space,your model is a bit conflicting, but it looks okay like that too)

How are you going to measure in a radius around your base?
>>48290447
Titty snake riding lord
>>48291288
as i told you there are some autists around. The difference between a round base and a square base is only 4 mm at worst, you just add a couple mms to the range depending on the direction you need to measure. Or if you want you can even just rotate the base.
>>48291322
Well fuck you too. If you want your own Coldsteel The Hedgehog army who is all different for the sake of being different then go ahead.
>>48291392

Is it a standard GW fantasy model, or from a 3rd party maker (and if so who?) is what I'm asking.
>>48292783
I replied to your post with a link to the GW Store page.
Yes, it is a standard Games Workshop "fantasy" model.

>>48293443

>>48292663
Base Castellan Green
Layer Straken Green
Glaze Waywatcher Green
Wash Agrax Earthshade
Edge Straken Green
But I'm really lazy about doing the edge, and I prefer a subtler green for my orks.
>>48290148
I also turned an old Necromunda Wyrd telepath into a Gold order wizard. I'll just need to add some pointy slippers and he's done.
If I'm going to paint something mostly silver and red, white is the preferable primer color right?
>>48293983
Not necessarily, greyish metal is easier to paint over black I think.
>>48293983
Prime white, then paint the parts that will be silver black. Red can be painted on a black background, but it takes much more work, and metallics don't really go well on white.
First ogre out of my recent purchase is painted up. Was fun painting a dude who is quite larger then previous models. Took advice from another anon on doing some metal edge highlights, using moar washes, threw on some verdigris on his gut plate, base and tried hand at making his plates rusty.
Overall happy with outcome, anything you can spot on it that sound be helpful for my next batch of ogre bulls?
>>48292452
evidently a shit one. just use GW. even imperial primer sticks better to plastic then that crap.
>>48294371
I don't know that the verdigris adds a whole lot; maybe it's just the picture. That is a mean-lookin' ogre, though. A whole army of those? That'd be pretty cool, anon!
>>48294235
If he is planning on basing mephiston red, it covers pretty well on black. Might be the only actually good colour from GW.
>>48292452
>>48293443
Gold armor that doesn't look like shit, well done! Most people fuck it up but the red and the details, 8/10 paintjob. I feel like it could do with some more detailing but I recon you're working on that now.
Keep us updated!
>>48294601
Yeah, I'd base Mephiston Red.
>>48294075
Interesting, thanks.
>>48294235
I usually put metallics on over a brown base, since that seems to be the consensus here on how to do them
>>48290736
Unfortunately I don't have any warzone or any interest in it. I do have some flames of war that I never got around to.
Also, I do interlude drink mixing instruction
>>48294654
You got that wrong, brown for gold and black for silver. Also as i said mephiston red works on black, but white works better and personally looks better, take your choice if you feel like doing the extra work of basecoating black for silver.
>>48293839
Is that milliput or something else?
>>48294737
Heh, i love historicals, but i don't love 15mm. But i guess flames of war would be awesome too. (May i ask why don't you have interest in warzone if there is a particular reason).
>>48287539
>>48287908
I have a model done for every ground troop except the terminators (cataphractii).
Does anyone have a good IF terminator look that isn't 100% yellow?
I was thinking something like the picture attached.
>>48293694
That's definitely a good scheme, but i don't know if it qualifies as light
>>48292663
A normal base would be warboss green or whatever the new goblin green is called,to make it brighter you could highlight with moot green, which is a very bright saturated green. I also personally like basing moot green or some similar colour from another range since moot green covers really shittily and then highlight with a moot green+yellow(bad moonz yellow was the name?). Whenever if you want your green to be saturated you can add yellow to it for highlights, the effect is lovely. Pic related is made with goblin green base and goblin green+ yellow highlights. If you are interested i can dig up the complete recipe.
>>48294903
I am afraid you aren't getting much else for 30k, at least in lore there isn't much else i am afraid. (Or do you want made up schemes?)
>>48294779
ProCreate putty, I prefer it to GS.
>>48294976
I don't mind made up schemes at all, as long as they look good.
I suppose by *good* I mean a balance between cool looking, and loyal to fluff in a way. I.E. no flourescent purple on imperial fists.

>You understand gesso is a primer?
A primer *made for use on things that already have some surface texture* - like oil painting canvas or water color paper. Acrylic Gesso isn't made to be used on highly smooth surfaces like plastic.
>>48293443
That armor looks great but that pose looks silly because it looks like it's bored out of its mind
>>48288360
what brand are you using?
I use liquitex black gesso and I basically dilute it 2-1 with water and spluge it on the minis. Have to keep an eye to prevent possible buildup that will translate into horrible bubbles but otherwise it works for me (use it from 10mm to 32mm minis).
Anyone have experience with evergreen H beams? Im trying to figure out what measurement to get. Im making tank traps. I think the crossbar type will look more interesting on my basing than dragons teeth type ones.
>>48289352
you make a compelling case good man
>>48295526
If they're plastic like the H beams I have which may or may not be evergreen they're too far away for me to check then they'll be pretty easy to cut with either clippers or a dremel's cut off bit.
>>48294820
I just have zero exposure to it and a backlog of other miniatures games a mile long. Is it the same thing as dropzone commander?
Am I not supposed to use Krylon spray on resin? I'm painting up a Raging Hero mini for a friend and it's beading like crazy any time I thin my paints. Really pissing me off.
>>48295700
>Is it the same thing as dropzone commander?
No. Warzone was a game from before the Dark Age of Technology meant to compete with Warhammer 40,000. It died a quiet death (although there *was* that movie with Thomas Jane as Mitch Hunter...), but was recently revived by a Kickstarter attempting to breathe new life into the franchise. The related "Siege of the Citadel" boardgame is honestly more fun to play than Space Hulk.

As nice as the shop is I'm not sure how he's stayed in buisness unless he owns the whole building, which might be the case.
>>48295700
Anyway, please try saying in advance when you will be streaming and see you soon.(try looking into it, it's good rules wise and has great models too)
>>48296298
I'm assuming this is upstate New York. A specialist shop in NYC wouldn't have any problem finding customers no mater how niche.
I'm picking up some Skitarii, and I'm considering color schemes. I like the idea of hardwood rifles for them, but I don't think it'll mesh well with the electric blue cloaks I'm planning for them. Does anyone have any idea of good colors to really work and pop with electric blue?

Did a quick google for the most similar models there are to your description I could think of - according to this example it looks pretty great with that bright copper as a secondary colour.
