So I'd like some opinions.... purple skin or turquoise skin? The next time I do turquoise (if I go with that), I'll do one last layer with a mix of temple guard blue and white... but these two will pretty much be the end product. Thought? Any input would be great! Thanks!

Purple. I don't like Blue and Green together.

I don't like green and purple together either, but it is better than blue.

E: The fact that you have put the purple one in the superior position also makes me think that subconsciously you want us to say purple and agree with the choice you have already made. -Dr Frasier Crane

Purple!

Blue looks cool, but not with that green.

If you are set on having the green carapace, then go with purple, in my opinion. I think it looks cool.

Pretty much. Also the lighting seems to be hitting Mr Blue a bit harsher than the purple, like purp has matte finish and blue has gloss.

Matte over Gloss, Purp over Blue.

Hrmm. Hav you considered Purple and Blue together? That's another two tester models you need to paint, right now, get to it! :-D

I like the purple better as well.

I actually have tried blue and purple lol

Purple

Purple Skin and Blue Armour?
Green Skin (orknids?) and Blue Armour?
Green Skin and Purple Armour?

Keep 'em coming! :-P

Purple and Green, it reminds me of the early Nineties.

edit: That Blue and Purple scheme could be called Hive Fleet Skeletor

Purple and green looks best to my eye.

I think you'd have more fun with purple and green, because when you do more units and you want to have a unique leader or whatnot you can swap those two colours around and have a model that stands out but still remains in cohesion.

Just my thoughts. The green and blue just doesn't suit the bugs.

Of the two, the purple is definitely the one to choose.

^Yes! Dakka has spoken!

Haha... it kind of reminded me of The Joker.... now it's making me think of a Goosebumps novel we all read as kids. Either way though, i think it came out well. Maybe ill use blue for talons? I have to have some blue in there!

I like the purple/green combo suits as they are complementary colours.

Purple skin and blue carapace has been done to death!

I actually think either Purple/Green or Purple/Blue look best. Blue/Green is okay, but either the blue needs to come up a couple shades or the green needs to be darker.
