Front arc markings...

Just to keep it all straight and organized, I'm writing my front arc markings color choices here. The goal is to have colors that are dark, subtle and easily overlooked when simply viewing the model, but easy enough to see in play, while also helping to tie the army together in a cohesive style.
  1. Cygnar - VGC Imperial Blue
  2. Circle Orboros - VMC Black Gray
  3. Cryx - VGC Scurf Green
  4. Trollbloods - VMC German Camo Black Brown
  5. Highborn Covenant - VGC Royal Purple
  6. Legion of Everblight - RMS Walnut Brown
Painting the front arcs involves using YoungWolf7's front arc measuring templates, a fine brush (0 or 1) and a steady hand. Be sure to thin the paints with Stokes Magic Sauce because the lines get thick with raised borders otherwise. Ugly...

Minions will use the color of the faction they'll most likely see time with. For example, my first Feralgeist went with the Circle Orboros front arc markings. My second one will go with Trollbloods. The colors are subtle enough, and faint enough, to not matter. Being painted's the most important part. Yay!
