So, my friends and I are starting a collective theme set of armies.

I will be running a Genestealer army, and we will be basing it on a Iceworld.
The other players will be running IG armies with conversions to make them all look like they are part of the Genestealer Cult.

My initial idea for color scheme on the purestrains was a light bone chitin armor, with traditional purple/blue fleshy bits, with "ice-blue" claws

So I painted up a test model and I'm not sure if I like it yet. I wanted to get Dakka's opinion on this.

You can ignore the technical mistakes, I am looking for advice on scheme.

PICS!

Thanks for the input, I understand that this model is only so-so looking at the moment, I just wanted to get some feedback for the colors associated with it. bone chitin with purple flesh and ice blue claws.

All 4 of us are doing a combined scenic display base, with the edge of a city, the sewer under the city, and trenches just outside the city walls.

the converted IG troopers will be out in the trenches, all the IG armor will be inside the city (artillery) and in the sewer will be all the stealers.

So for the stealers they will have a base like these.
