Alright I am tore between the two styles. I seriously need your guys opinions.
So to give you a little detail of both. The model on the left is Scab Red(GW)/Hawk Turquoise(GW) He is not done yet, I will be highlighting and doing the emblems in the same blue that is on the right model.
Now the right model is done, He is done in Red Gore(GW)/Flesh Wash(GW) gives him more of a shiny look. I painted the one on the right first then painted my others and kinda liked the look of the turqouise. So I dont know anymore. Let me know what you guys think.

Imho I prefer the left one; the Hawk Turquoise contrasts with the Scab Red nicely.

Yeah, my vote's on the left one. The other loses a lot of the detail under the mass of shiny red.

Yeah chalk another one for the left scheme, it contrasts well and when it comes to doing your vehicles it will break up the mass of colour.

"I.. I know my time has come" Tethesis said with a gasp, a torrent of blood flowing from his lips.
"No! Hang on brother!!" Altharius could feel the warmth slip away from his dear sibling's hands

Tethesis's reached out his bloodied arm to Altharius's face.
"I..I have one final request"
Altharius leaned close to listen, tears welling in his once bright eyes.
"make sure th..they put my soulstone in a tank... it'll be... real fethin' cool"
"Yes, you're gonna be the most fethin' cool tank!!" burning hot tears streaked down Altharius's face, as he held his brother's soul in his grasp.

the one on the left most def. it gives it a lot more contrast and character. and i wouldn't use the wash to make it shiny, the flat color gives it a less.. for lack of a better word, clean look. and i like the 3 stipes on the helmet of the one on the right, i would carry that over to your new color scheme. not sure exactly what color to use, but i would paint the emblems a different color all together to make it stand out more. maybe a bright orange with yellow highlights or maybe a light blue. idk something to play with. looking great! get some more pictures posted

With highlights that nice, drowning it in wash would be a shame. Keep highlighting!

If you like shiny, use a gloss or satin varnish.
