Hi
Started working on a wraithknight and was wondering if i could get some feedback on secondary colours to add to the model.
There will be some black detail on the weapons and the visor is going to be black, but thinking about adding some strips or other detail to shoulder pads and leg plates.
Any other feedback is welcome.

Honestly? Keep it minimum. A lot of the issues I have with peoples paintjobs are the over-abundance of colours. It looks really good as is, and you could ruin that beautiful simplicity if you go nuts.

If you go with stripes or something, keep them simple, and sparse - maybe brick red --- do you have a Craftworld this belongs to?

I see your point that some color schemes becomes too much with too many colors, but i still want something that pops out otherwise i feel that an army could look bland.
I have no craftworld in mind. I'm thining about green or turquoise for gems and stripes.

Was thinking a very light teal or turquoise might work, if used very minimally. I agree with Elbows though, it looks pretty great at the moment. Maybe do the black and see how you feel about it then?

I actually dig the muted tone you're starting with here, but some turquoise or cyan could look really nice like you mentioned above. Maybe some runes or markings done freehand in the aforementioned colors?

I saw with eyes then young, and this is my testament.

Hyperspace

Bright blue and orange stripes, used sparingly.

This was a triumph.



Peregrine - If you like the army buy it, and don't worry about what one random person on the internet thinks.

I'd vote for an earthy, autumnal orange. Used sparingly.

I'd second PourSpelur's suggestion of orange.

Darker cooler colors seem to hide the rusty-effects I've found. Yellow or Orange will add some color but be fairly easy to keep the rust.
