I've been playing with schemes on a few spare SMs I got for free. I keep coming back to yellows but not wanting to go straight Imperial firsts, came up with this last night
It's rough and not been detailed this is just to get an idea


I think I'm getting somewhere, maybe loose the green, but can't decide if its got potential or not, looking for input

I think the green detracts from it slightly, a more neutral third colour would look better imo.

Has potential but I agree with dropping the green. As for the yellow its nice, but maybe a slightly duller approach to it?

WIth the green I was thinking take it back to a more moot green (like camo or something) , bin it off altogether and have solid purple or replace with black.

The yellow is a bit in your face but I find it I tone it down, looks to Brown.

This is all in aid of finding what I wanna do with my DA, the codex scheme doesn't do it for me and they'll mostly be played as codex SM anyway.

I also dislike the green. Personally, I would go for black trim and a black helmet, keeping the yellow and blue intact.

Edit: maybe make the knee pad black as well.

Solid black would work.

As much as I wanna make them unique it is tempting to do them an ultramarine variant

If you want to do an Ultramarine variant, why not just reverse their color scheme? Yellow armor with blue shoulderpads and white trim?

I'm looking to avoid anything to smurf like I just look in my box of paint and see a lot of nice blues in there lol

I did try something like what you suggest and it just didn't look right to me.

I also started a purple guy last night too i will share that in a bit
