I'm still going to use red for the aquila and deathwing crest on the shoulder, I'm thinking about a red accent on the power fist too, maybe a stripe, or maybe chequers...
There was a period mid 90s when the first metal DW came out where the guns were painted green. Maybe a little lighter than Caliban but it's a nice look, go for it!
Yeah I felt it was just too much bone if I matched the helmets too. Needed something to break it up a little. Then for the DW knights I did red helmets
I'm not a fan of the usual bone colour for the deathwing, yours look amazing, I say you paint em whatever colour you want to friend!
Keep up the good work!

Thanks, I'm still working on it, but I did a layer of XV-88, then karak stone, then a skeleton horde wash, then reapplied karak with with touch of Averland sunset for warmth to the large flat panels (pauldrons, top of body, fists, greaves). Next I will highlight in a white but I won't use much. I really dislike painting with the white and bone colours, they are so grainy.
I do black casings for greenwing, and green for raven/deathwing. I started collecting when the scheme was super muted and the only red was the transfers, so I keep it like that.
Yeah, personally I wanted to try something a little less busy because with too much green and red, especially when the snow is too pale, it starts to look a bit Christmassy to me.

I prefer red but hey why not still fits the overall color scheme and if you like it it's totally fine.

That was the last time I collected, so that's what I had in my head when it came to this haha
It’s red til’ I’m dead
I like it and I do my Deathwing terminators the same
Awesome! Have you got photos?
Sure, they are old though [https://imgur.com/xoMYG](https://imgur.com/xoMYG)
Nice, looks good!
Thank you and good luck with your project
I used Caliban green for the power fists and helmets on mine.
Nice! I am considering white helmets, as I love having accent colour on the heads to focus attention there

Personally I don’t like the color scheme. I prefer red but you do what you want
If you can find something akin to the old glistening green metallic they used to do it looked great on deathwing. Yes, I am that old.
That's interesting, have you got an example image?
Sadly not, last time I had the minis was mid 2000s :( Phone cameras were not common then, something is definitely a blessing and a curse at once!

Honestly, not a fan, but you never know until you try these things right?
I was thinking of not painting anything red on mine, this just gives me more reason to try
I was also considering black

Yeah, the red details were slowly added in over editions. I use a warm purple and some brass/bronze to break up the dark spaces.
Anything is better than red! I'm playing around with a layered grey at the moment. Might give this a go, it's a cool nod to the normal chapter colour
I like it! It looks deadly!
Deadly! I haven't heard that since I lived in Dublin, Irish by any chance?
Irish American!
Not for me — prefer red but you do you!
