Chaos Renegade...Squad 3...number 8

Hi all,

Well...I had fully intended to start bombarding you with posts about the puff and slash dwarfs...but I've gotten sidetracked again.  After completing the last two Renegades...and receiving a couple of new paints in the mail...I decided to crank out one more...just one more! :)

I recently chatted with one of my painting heroes, Stone Cold Lead, when he mentioned the purple recipe he recently used for the Ion Age Retained Knights...and I immediately ordered the paints he recommended and I decided to give it a try.  Purple has been one of my long term problem colors...and I hoped this was the info I needed to get over that hurdle.

For my first attempt with this new color I chose one of the classic Renegade sculpts, Three Eyes!



With the new purple I decided to go with a very cool grey-white that I felt would contrast the purple well.

I think this worked out pretty well! here is the finished product...


I have to say...I'm ecstatic with how this turned out.  The purple seems to work very well and I really like the pale white grey of the rest of the armor.

...I think this might be my new favorite!

...at least until the next one...😉

Cheers,

Blue

    1. Thanks SCL! The help with the purple was key...though mine doesn't look like yours! ...but I still love it.

  3. This guy is an absolute winner, yellow, pruple and white just make up for a striking combo and it suits this particular guy perfectly.

  5. These renegades are a really awesome project. Also a great way to break out of the batch painting blues.
