Hi Guys!!
I've got my hands on two original Space Marine box sets from '87 and I want to do an army to resemble the box art - the Crimson Fists. I've been messing around with some of the recent Citadel paints and the suggested schemes for the current CF chapter... and it's not quite doing it for me. I'm hoping to get the models looking just like the photo on the back of the original box...
Does anyone know GW's original color scheme for these guys? I've been through many of the original White Dwarf magazines, but to no avail. I'm assuming the originals were done with a base coat of Moody Blue, but I'm not sure.
I have access to quite a few of the original paints, so if you guys can be authentic as possible for this scheme (original paint names and all) I would really appreciate it!! Being that I'm colorblind doesn't help, so a recipe from a pro is just what is called for!!
Cheers!!
*Also, if anyone knows of an original WD where this scheme is covered in a 'Eavy Metal, please point me in the right direction!
