IG colour scheme practice templates

[upguardsandatem]

Hi all. Thought I would share with you my practice templates I made to try out different colour schemes. Saves you actually having to paint up a model.

One problem I did find was that it seems they won't work with paint, however the best solution I found was to download a free picture veiwer called Irfanview, visit their site for download options www.irfanview.com/

Simply open the file in this viewer (I assume you could use other programs such as photoshop if you've got it). Just use the fill bucket to fill each area with your desired colour. Its simple and cartoon like but gives you an idea of possible schemes. Save it as a new file and try a different idea.

Hopefully you can just download the files from photobucket, if this doesn't work could someone suggest an alternate method, I'll admit me know I'm not great with technology!

Please post your colour schemes for us all to see if you give it a go!

Some random stormtrooper ideas:

If you wanted to try a pattern stormtrooper camo, download my design from the link underneath the picture and simply paint over with you own design.

I look forward to seeing some cool ideas hopefully!

This is a great idea! And I think my little fella would love colouring these in too, better than those happy-crappy kiddie colouring books!

Thanks for sharing!

(Sticky anyone?)

[upguardsandatem]

Hey, thanks 3ff3ct! Hope he enjoys designing some new schemes! Post them up when hes done some.

Sorry if its a stupid question, whats a sticky?!

Ah its when the moderator permenantly adds something to the board (the little pin symbol that you see on some of the top threads).

I thought that the amount of times people have enquired about an 'army painter' that this should be kept so the forum can use it as they see fit!

[upguardsandatem]

Ah thanks for explaining that, that would be cool. I just hope they can be of use to a few people.

In my eyes that could be described better

Feel free to re-describe it then....

There, now Beav doesn't have eyes... Problem solved!

This is a great idea! I'd also like to request templates for Catachans, Valhallans, old school Cadians, and the other regiments, please!
