First Iron Fang
So I tinkered a bit more with my color scheme, and I've mostly completed a single Iron Fang, properly this time, as proof of concept.
It's not perfect. I did a poor job of highlighting the shoulder pads on this guy, and I'm working on correcting it, but as a general proof of concept I'm reasonably happy with my results.
I'm thinking the addition of some red khadoran lettering to one of the shoulderpads might help break up the boring, large surfaces. That, or I might leave them as-is for now, and down the road add very tiny kill markers on individual models' shoulders for very important kills like Warcasters or enemy Warjacks. That's probably overly involved, though.
I think I might also need to highlight the reds just a wee bit more, and I am really not happy with the way Citadel's golds work, so I'm going to look into other lines that might work better.
Anyway, hopefully I will be able to get through the other IFPs without too much of a headache. My work's very tabletop-level, but I'm pleased enough with it.
