Wow, that came together amazingly and it a crazy short amount of time. Can't wait to play! Thanks so much for putting that together, and the game too. The chance to stand on top of the Ordinatus and proclaim the victory of the greater good is irresistible. : ) I'm also looking forward to seeing it closer and getting a feel for some of the techniques used. That airfield grating looks like great stuff. I wonder how hard it would be to make a bunch of platforms in the Deathwatch overkill style with it it.

It was a really excellent gaming table with lots of possibilities - dead zones, buildings to hide in, stuff to climb on.

Okay, peeps. Give me suggestions for the colour schemes.
We have three "strains" of xenos:
The regular worker/hunters, mostly cthulian in form, all mouth tentacles and such. These are the warm grey minis.
The 'drillers', which are the red minis.
The Abominations, which are the largest minis.
---
My initial thought was to go with a blue/grey scheme for the xenos, with a highlight color for hands/tentacles/whatever.
Red would be a glossy black with red highlights.
And the Abominations would be fairly individual.
---
Please give me your thoughts, and expand my ideas/palette!

I liked the whitish grey they used on the Kickstarter for the basic guys and then adding in darker tones for the more tougher guys. Depends what your going to do for basing colors, will you try and paint the bases to match the “outdoors” on the boards? Can we get a closeup of one of the boards to see it for inspiration?

Not to push the Contrast bandwagon too much, but If I was staring at a huge stack of monsters, I'd mess around with contrast combos until I found one I liked. They are very ideosycratic so it is hard to say which one would "work", but there are probably some that would look great just over the grey.

I echo kestrel here. While I do not use contrast paints (other than the medium to make washes a little thicker), you want to have a simple painting process that you can repeat for the numbers you have there (and one you are happy with).
My two cents,
CB

Yeah, the mass-painting route is what we'll be doing. I had pondered the contrast paints, but I have a lot of paints and inks already, so I'm probably going to leverage those.
I'm pondering really alien-looking combos, really trying to make a stark "these are alien" as well as ease of identification on the table.
I'll shoot some of the tiles and post 'em.

I think deep sea creature vibe. So cream, turquoise, pinks, violet - like a yeti crab or such.

What are these creatures' habitat? My thoughts are hunters and workers would be camouflaged to their surroundings so the same color scheme are where they come from. Hunters would want to be able to sneak up on prey and workers would want to be ignored. The tunnelers could be taken in two different directions either lots of pale colors like cave animals or colorful since in tunnels there isn't light to show how colorful they are and make them easy to spot if they are. If I recall correctly, in our visible light spectrum red is the first to lose its color and look black so maybe lots of vibrant reds and patterns of red? For the abominations I agree with the unusual color combos and the deep sea theme. One weird color combo I used once was aqua and a mix of magenta/violet, with yellow accents.
