Hello all,
With Games Day (UK) 2011 around the corner, i've decided to purchase some marines from forge world/games workshop to start up my D.I.Y legion, the Archangelic Spectres. The fluff, background etc. is of no need for this thread with exception to the fact that i'm designing them as the lost XI Legio. Now, i'm having trouble deciding on a colour scheme for them, so, if any of you Dakkites have links to websites that randomise colours or just generally have colour scheme yourself that you dont need or wish to leave, please post them, im having so much difficulty as posted above.

crimson

So they are "angelic", that would likely be White, Gold, or Red. Specters are shadowy, so Purple, Black, Grey.

**Almarine**

Go with brown OP, it's the best colour.

**Juvieus Kaine**

Something like this perhaps? Or this?

Failing that, use this to make something up:

I like the second picture.

**Zakiriel**

I second the motion. The second picture is better.

**purplefood**

I like the first one...

Whatever this paint scheme is, it was someone elses interpretation of the XI lost legion.

**Nightwalker**

Purpe is the color of royalty so you could use that with like gold and whie or something

@Mr Nobody: is that really someone's interpretation of the XI, lol, thats so similar to one of my early concepts.

Thanks for the suggestions all, I think I may return to my original idea of the purple with white for secondary colours etc. And if that picture really is someone else's interpreation of the XI then it's spot on with mine also, for I was planning on using C:GK for them, hence the similarities between the halberd and nemesis force weapons.
