Title: Tie dye paint scheme
Post by: GossWeapon on March 29, 2011, 09:48:40 PM: Anyone have a good idea for painting tie-dye space marines? I want like the classic blue/pink/greenish look. I want to make my ego marines super cool and egomaniacs like macho man Randy savage! That'd be awesome thanks!

I love the idea, a whole field of Mega-Marines like this:

They might make you a little bit insane! Snap into a Xenos!

Hate to rain paint on anyone's parade, but I think the kit as sold makes pictures considerably larger than your typical GW marine. You might have to take the principle of a spin art kit and build it on a much smaller scale.

Be sure you take videos of the process in progress.

Or paint much bigger marines!

Prime white

Paint large circles ONLY using assorted citadel washes :D

I think it just might work
