Hey,

I got a question about colour schemes.
What kind of colour schemes would suit factory world or mining colonies?
In the Bataviran system there are 3 planets,
Thurov -> Factory world, Batavira -> Argi world, Ardennia -> Former mining world.
All the planets are artic and very cold.
These three planets join forces to make 1 big regiment who excell at one thing: Seizing ground and then holding it untill they die or are relieved.
Often the Batavirans charge in first with all their chimera's and are followed by more Batavirans, Thurovians and Adrannians on foot.
The Thurovians then settle in and start producing ammo and necessary supplies, they are gonna stay there for quite a while, and these guys are also capable of fighting in close quarters.
The Adrennians make dig trenches and fox holes.
The Batavirans serve as cooks and farmers.
Thus the regiment is capable of staying in certain positions for years.
For the Batavirans I use cadians, blue flak and white clothes, and Valhallan model painted brown.
For the Thurovians I plan on using more cadians, I thought about Chaos Black for the flak armor and Codex grey for the clothes. (The factory world is dark and light is a luxury not everyone has.)
For the Adrennians I have no idea what would suit them. Their world is one gigantic ball of ice which is now empty. The people still dig deeper in the hope of finding valuable ores once again and most of them haven't ever seen the sunlight.
I do want to use the cadian models for these guys.
So what would suit these planets?

I am envisioning, a camo scheme with light brown (mixing bestial brown with bleached bone), an earthy blue, and a darkened cream color.

If you are looking for a more "mechanical" feel, you could replace the light brown with grey.

Here are some pictures from the guys I have.
I can paint them better but I was in a hurry.
What would be a good third colour scheme?
