Proposed Painting Plan for Simian Legion |
Intro: There are two ways one can go. Give all units of Legionnaires the same color uniform. Or give each unit its own unit color. Either way, the Legionnaires within a unit should be consistant.
Background: Color should be given some consideration and should be viewed in the context of the army as a whole. I'd take some inspiration from ancient Rome but wouldn't let that dictate my choice of colors. I'd also not paint the same color on the Legionnaires, Javalin Corp, or Praetorians. I would reserve purple for the Praetorians, earth tones or off-white for Javalin Corp and paint the Legionnaires bright, dirt-resistant colors (I believe the Simians have their own version of Scotchguard.)
Colors: - Main Uniform:
- Blue
- Weapon/Scale Armor:
- Steel
- Helmet/Shield:
- Bronze
- Shield Center:
- Blue field with gold inlay
- Hair:
- Medium to dark brown with white streaks on some faces for character. For instance, around the temples.
If you go with a different uniform color for every unit other colors of note would be Green, Red, Black, Orange, Yellow - basically, primary and secondary colors. Apes like colors, you know. I would stay consistant with armor and weapons but the shield center sould match the uniform. |
