Gen. Knowledge Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Hello, I was just trying out some color combinations for my Home Guards. Which of these combinations looks the best? With white pith With tan pith With dark blue-gray pith All together I will be out of town this weekend, but when I get back, I will be posting new pictures of my updated army. Tony Quote
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted August 15, 2008 Eurobricks Emperor Posted August 15, 2008 Mmmm difficult... I would say the one on the right in the first picture looks best. The one on the left in the first picture is second best for me. But the versions with the red imperial guards torso's still look a bit better. Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 I like the white trousers tan pith the best. But 'm with boney here, the pith looks much better on the redcoat's torso. Have you considered making them like this?: I think the hats made out of wheels would look really cool, and gives a bit of variet next to the pith helmets. Looking forward to seeing that army of yours! Quote
WhiteFang Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Looking at the choices with my limited knowledge, I think the one on the extreme left wearing white pith or dark blue-gray pith works the best for me. I like the white very much. Quote
Fluyt Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 The white legs look nice on all of them, but I don't really like the black legs on them. I'd go with: white pith/white legs dark tan pith/tan legs dark bley pith/dark tan legs (at least if you don't want to use the same coloured legs more than once) Quote
Joey Lock Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 The white legs look nice on all of them, but I don't really like the black legs on them.I'd go with: white pith/white legs dark tan pith/tan legs dark bley pith/dark tan legs (at least if you don't want to use the same coloured legs more than once) For the first I would pick White pith with tan legs. I dont know about the others. Quote
Tyren Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 I really like the tan pith/ tan legs combination. But that's just me. My second fav would have to be the white pith/white legs. Quote
Capn Frank Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 I've added pole options! Vote now and let us know what your choice are and why. I like White Pith w/ White Pants. It seems to match with the torso the best. Maybe have White Pith w/ White Pants for officers only and have a different color for enlisted men. Quote
Skinny Boy Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 I think the dark bley helmet and white pants. Quote
Fluyt Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 I've added pole options!Vote now and let us know what your choice are and why. I think the tan pith is dark tan and grey legs should be dark tan legs in the poll Kind of a hard desision to choose just one, the white and dark tan piths look nice with either white, tan or dark tan legs, the dark bley pith looks nicest with dark tan I think. But white/dark tan pith with white/tan/dark tan legs look best out of all, can't decide on a single one. Quote
Wes Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 White pants are the only color that match with the bluecoat torso. Quote
NewRight Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Those are some great combos and I voted white, because of its more classic appearance. Quote
Infomaniac Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 I like the white better because it is the same color as the stripes on the imperial chest Infomaniac Quote

It seems to match with the torso the best. Maybe have White Pith w/ White Pants for officers only and have a different color for enlisted men. Thanks for the poll Phred. And thanks for everyone's opinion. I have a slight color deficiency, so none of these combos seems that bad to me. Unfortunately the poll confirms my fear. I also like the white pith/white legs combo, but finding white piths for my redcoats is hard enough. I thought I could get away with the dark blue-gray pith with white legs for the bluecoats. I got the tan pith for my artillery company, but thought it might look good on the blue torsos. My goal is to have white piths for all my redcoats, high command staff, and logistics/maneuver support. so I only need about 400 more... Tony Quote
hewkii9 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 My favorite of the shown would be White Pith/White Pants, but here's another - Dark Tan legs and the Dark Tan pith helmet. Quote
Capn Frank Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I thought I could get away with the dark blue-gray pith with white legs for the bluecoats. No problem mate! You could always do what i always do with stuff like this, use what's cheapest if you think it looks good. I really wanted my constitution to be in old brown, but the bricks were getting fewer and more costly, so i used rown instead. I think Blay Pith with White pants would make a good (second-best) combo. Especially with the Blue uniforms IMO. Quote

I know what you mean Phred, but i like the rown on my ship, looks more like oak Sometimes you have to work with what is available and there is definitly no shame in that! Great army general, keep it up! No problem mate! You could always do what i always do with stuff like this, use what's cheapest if you think it looks good.
