Picking/matching colors

[javaman21011]

Hi, total noob here, but someone help me decipher what colors this guy used? www.mainlymedieval.com/ozpainters/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3625

i really like the blue skin tone.

My guesstimate: Ultramarines Blue blended out to Temple Guard Blue. The tubes and ribbing look like white with a purple wash to me. No idea on the carapace. Why don't you post in his thread and ask him? Oh, wait it was 5 years ago. nvm.

As a side note, the way we perceive colours in photographs is bizarre

I picked white and gold but both my sons said blue and black.

Wow so it was blue and black all along!

The carapace looks like its its just browns and bone.

I like the look of the colours, bur the guns would look awesome in 2nd ed red

Har har I was thinking Ultramarines Blue as well! I think I'll just have to buy more paint and try each one to see what suits my eye

I see some Altdorf Guard Blue in there as well, I use that color when blending my carapace. But After doing some net research I think Altdorf just is the new name for ultramarines blue? why did they go around changing names on us.

to sell more paint.

thats why they refuse to use dropper bottles, granted the dry compounds need the flip lid.... but inks and base paints (not just GW 'base' rather the entire liquid range) would be far better in droppers..... thank ebay for multi pack 15ml dropper bottles
