Hey mates. Looking to go with Elysians as my Imperial Guard Regiment, with a big reason being that they remind me a lot of the Halo ODST, who I am a big fan of fluff-wise. With that being said, I am currently deciding on how to paint my Elysians in reguards to the ODST, and I just wanted to bounce some ideas off of you. Currently I am thinking of utilizing/painting Rich Black fatigues with Black-Gray/Charcoal-Gray Armor (something akin to a Special Forces Unit if that makes sense). with a dark Metalic-Blue Visor. Just wanted your thoughts on it and in the picture, I took it mainly to show the Fatigue Color idea, however I am considering swapping it in exchange to have Rich-Black Armor and Black-Gray/Charcoal-Gray Fatigues. Just tell me your thoughts or if you have other options to show me that could relate to what I mean and thanks again.

Looks pretty good, but you really need some color variation. It's pretty hard to pick out any details.

I'll second the idea of having some sort of third colour.

I think an orange would really make some small details really pop.

Again mate, these are not my models, these models are a picture to use as an example, nothing more.
