so, my friend has recently joined 40k, with his first purchase as a sergeant-less devastator squad. I will be making him a sergeant, but we have hit another snag. colour scheme. so, he loves ancient Greek mythology so minotaurs came to mind, but as I will be doing all of the painting (he hates to paint) and he doesn't like just bronze we have to make a new chapter, which will feature bronse as a spot colour. I am to present four options to him tomorrow so I would like you to choose your favourite 4 of the following:

2,3,4,5.

4 is the best. Green is nice.

I'd say 4,6 or 7

Go with 5. Best colour match, even if it is a little dull.

Btw: brown= bronze

For Greek mythology go for 6 red and bronze = roman style

Not a guy fan of any of them tbh.

If I had to pick one I would go for 6 but make it all bronze below the waist and maybe make the helmet red.

I like the look of the Green and Bronze. But maybe have the knee and shoulder pads and helmet Green. The remaining Bronze. Listen to this as I am the one who's colour scheme this is.

6 all the way.

All bronze looks too flat and boring.
Blue and bronze doesn't pop enough, and the green and bronze pops a little too much.

The red and bronze strikes a nice balance.

Definitely 6.

5 or 6. A flat black and semi shiny bronze would look good IMO.

I vote a pattern like #2 but with the #4 colors.

My suggestion is to move the color from the thigh sections to the knee caps and leave the thighs bronze.

I like 5 and 6 however with 6 I would make his hands red and his thighs bronze (possibly knees red too, but probably not)

Good luck

My vote goes for 6.

The colour for the bolters, are you thinking the colour of the last one?

Spartan style -> blood red + bronze, so 6. And black + bronze bolter IMHO.
(Black mag, grip, barrel + butt and bronze plating.
