Word Bearers Colour Scheme Generator

Aquilas, rims and ornament. Basecoat gold, wash with a brown shade, then edge a brighter gold.

Bolters, blades and casings. Dark gunmetal, washed black, edged with bright steel.

Straps, holsters and bare wood. Mid brown, shaded, then drybrushed a lighter tan.

Faces and hands. Basecoat, a flesh wash into the recesses, then build the highlights back up.

Lenses, eyes and energy. A bright spot colour that pops against the armour - dot it on and add a white glint.

Groundwork. Earth basecoat, drybrushed bone, finished with your choice of grass, sand or snow.

Deep red plates and markings creeping over the grey - the favoured Chapter wore it first, and the rest followed.

Bone-and-gold verses inscribed over every panel. Fine, dense freehand - the XVII Legion writes on itself.
