Please help with Tie fighter repaints - need new ideas

By Dark Curse, in X-Wing

Hi, I want to repaint and convert my Tie-fighters and need your help. I am not interested to only use "the" original Star Wars background.

I search for fresh and new ideas to have some unique shipps!

I converted some Ties with marks by war (holes from shoots, destroyed Wings,...). The coloursheme could be a cold blue and violet for the shades with long colourtransitions. I do not want the soo often seen "blood stripes" I plan using markings in light blue and light yellow. Maybe a stripe broken by a dot: -- •--. Do you have any fresh and new ideas to help me?

Thank you so much

Dark Curse

paint them green and purple?

i dont know man... you seem to have it all figured out already, so what do you want us to say?

I love what I've seen of your work and very much look forward to seeing what you come up with.

I must say though, keeping the battle damage to a minimum I think is the best look for Imperial ships.

They are too well funded to be flying damaged equipment, for the most part.

Just my two and a half cents :-P

I've seen a few done with vertical stripes and a few with chevrons (^). I think the light blue would be good, but not so sure about the yellow. Yellow stripes on black wings just says bumble bee.

Battle damage on a TIE-fighter is about as common a sight as worn plastic cutlery. The slightest stress destroys them and when that happens you just take another one from the package. :)

This! :D I love Family Guy!

Chaos Space Marines colours.

Really get everyone all enraged. ;)

Emporers Children or Iron Warriors Sluggo?

old school emperors children pink and gold... tasteful that.

Gloss black with mid grey edge highlights

Keep the panels matt black/dark grey

Use a boltgun-ish silver to edge cockpit glass or change glass to gloss dark dark red

Copy blood stripes but use either white for a monochromatic look or a silver.

"Vaders Guard"

Top it off with a matching Tie Advance...

.......Bosh!!!!!!!

Razzle Dazzle camouflage!

I've thought that a pink/glitter TIE would be great for Howlrunner. She would love that!!!

My imperials are all imperial guard red--like the interceptors.

White paneling with black supports and with red cockpit and highlights.
