[40k] Daeron's Thousand Sons
While I'm building my old dark elves, I'll also be painting my thousand sons for Warhammer 40k. This is the army I'm going to play in the coming weeks.
I have yet to complete my first unit, but here's a preview of what's coming!

Re: [40k] Daeron's Thousand Sons
Great to see some new posts in P&M - how big is the army you are working on?
Looking forward to the progress, it might get me motivated again

Re: [40k] Daeron's Thousand Sons
I'm stuck deciding on a colour for the bands. None of the choices really seem to click and I keep coming back to it.
The 3rd from the left was the original attempt - It's the official theme. I don't like the yellow though. It looks too industrial and bee-like.
The 2nd from the left was an attempt to soften the yellow. It works better IMO, and doesn't seem to wrestle the gold for attention. But I tried to highlight that yesterday or make it look more complete and it feels very "meh".
The left-most was inspired by something I once saw on the net - white bands instead of yellow. When I originally made a photoshop version it looked very crisp but now it looks "too white".
The right-most is just left gold. It doesn't conflict with the theme but it's too much gold - and so the beauty of the trim is lost.

Re: [40k] Daeron's Thousand Sons
I ended up settling for a softer white. The bright white was wrestling for attention, and the bright yellow as well. I tried softer versions of both, and in the end I found the white more pleasing (even though the more tan-yellow was nice!)
meanwhile I started experimenting with cloaking technology

Re: [40k] Daeron's Thousand Sons
It took me way too long, but I finally finished these. They really take a long time because of all the details, and sometimes I feel like I could have done even more.... or get a comparable result with considerably less effort.
