Ymir – Black Warriors

by

Scheme Reference

The Black Warriors strike in anonymity, never announcing the identity of their unit and often using deceptive call signs, colors and insignia to make opponents believe other units are attacking them.

The 16th Lyran Regulars have adopted a blue and tan scheme that is distinct from the other Regulars units. In the field, the colors are often applied in a camouflage pattern.

Artist Notes

I looked up where these guys operate, and decided on a Lyran outfit to mimic, the 16th Lyran Regulars. Painting the Jolly Roger was the best part.

Base was deep ocean blue, with glazing of shield wall blue for lighter areas and highlights. Accents and camo splotches were army painter barren dune and leather brown with a glaze of demonic flame yellow.

Weapon hit was started with gray black, then the following colors: scarlet blood, orange fire, hot orange, sunset orange.

Cockpit was done in scarlet blood and orange fire (bottom half) then top half was shield wall blue and a glaze of fluorescent green.
