The riders I have no real issue with painting, it's the bikes themselves. Getting the color scheme right is tricky since Chaos bikes are a little different from Marine ones.
Anyone have some tips on the colors? I'm pretty much painting the "armor" blue, but the rest of the color scheme I'm stuck on.
At the gun, only 1 of 4 bikes is even 1/4 painted, so if y'all have some ideas, hit me. Thanks guys!

I'm thinking of experimenting with wash since the 13th company has been trapped in the warp for 10,000 years, so obviously there'll be some wear and tear on their equipment

My Space Wolves have a sky blue armor set color tone with gold details. Shoulder pads are red/black and on some, yellow

I agree the wolves of the 13th are pre-heresy so you should paint them as such. they have been described as a winter storm.
Awesome ends with me.

If I can't get the effect with the bikers, I'm thinking of making some Veterans painted in pre-horus heresy colors

I finished the Biker Sgt today, and he turned out very nicely. His color scheme will be brighter than the others since he IS the leader. Some of you will note the Termy helmet. It was left over from the Wolf's Head Terminator conversion I did, and since the original figure had a broken Khorne Helm, that had to go for obvious reasons. I figure the terminator helm kinda gives it a Mk. V armor look.
