Im currently stripping down my Salamanders to start over a new project without buying new miniatures for the time being and have been brainstorming new colour schemes. Looking to get a few opinions on the schemes as I can't really pick between them!
Aiming for a quartered scheme with bone primarily but the second colour doesn't really concern me that much, any suggestions?







Thoughts and suggestions?

I love the non-quatered red and white one, it looks really cool! ^_^ It's also very similar to my own colour scheme, which is white primary with blue secondary ;D Which might be why I like it so much

Really like the green and bone ones. Though I think you'd have to be careful with the green you use in order for them not to look too much like dark angels. The green here is great, you'd just need to take care to match it.

Also, think the 'quartered' schemes look better than the other ones. And I don't like purple, but that's a personal thing.

Nice greens and reds you are looking at though, quite muted and sits nice with the bone colour.

I think the muted green and bone quatered scheme (pic 3 iirc) is the best. You just have to becareful to use the same green

The green is rather easy to replicate, Knarloc Green over a black base and a very thin layer of Snot Green. Using Nurgling Green for highlights helps keep the tone muted overall I've found too, Ive done similar on some of my newer Salamanders.

that shade of red is easy enough using Khorne Red with some Xereus Purple in a 90:10 mix, its a very strong red witha subtle sanguine tint to it when used over a solid white.

Just made a quick test run of the green/ bone scheme, obviously it needs severe work, it was a 5 min job but it does demonstrate the shades I want to work with.

Thoughts and opinions?

I love the green and white quartered death guard(green and white). I also love the quartered black and white with red trim on the shoulders. You've picked some good schemes though that are crisp and clean so whatever you pick I'm sure will look good.

You can't go wrong with any of them, but I like the green. The quartered one looks the best IMHO, but the torso/legs split would be easier to do a whole army of.
