Doing up a Farsight Enclave army and always wanted to do a halved or quartered army. Planning on doing a Saim-Hann army down the road so I was avoiding red as a primary colour for the moment. The colours are not meant to be any sort of camouflage.

Coming up with a custom symbol I'll be printing onto decal paper. The outline of the fluff is they're a mercenary army that work with some Eldar Corsairs and occasionally Rogue Traders. It's just so much easier to write a narrative for a game when one force is motivated by money/salvage instead of some ideology. I don't plan on the fluff being worked into the lists much as I don't plan on running them with allies (Eldar, human, or other).
These are test models I got from a friend for free so are sacrificial. The final models for my army are all going to have the old broadside flat feet, riptide heads, and shoulder armour like the commander model to put a nice sized decal on. All magnetized for all weapon options.

The goal is a quick table top quality army at 1500pts with options to bring it to 2000pts if need be. This wont be a showcase army by any means.
Currently looking at about 1 hour/suit when done in batches so something I can easily finish over the winter while going to school full time.
Basing will probably be sand painted flat brown and drybrushed with a little static grass. Want to keep it neutral so it can fit in on urban, badlands, desert, or grassland tables.

Group shot (hard to see the colours well):


Light ivory/light green:


Ochre/medium green:


Medium ivory/medium green:


Opinions? I think I like the light ivory and medium green (not a model I actually painted but a combination of first and other two). I find I learn more when I ask other people their opinion of my stuff instead of just going with my own isolated opinions so any input is welcome.

might want to use the forums built in image system.

It isn't Flickr, it's the script on this website. In 7 years of using Flickr and hotlinking to over a dozen forums I've never had a broken link before.

Uploaded pics to the Dakka system and edited my original post.

Nice work. Though, this may be a trick of the angles and such, but are these definitely a 50/50 split? As from most of the pics the split does not seem to be in the middle.

Damn, was hoping no one would notice
Yes I did miss the mark a touch with the tape. They where sacrificial models I got for free so I did them quick. The ones I plan on doing for my army with the different bitz will be painted in parts before assembly so I can make the masking more precise.

Which one do you prefer in terms of colour?

The last one is pretty beautiful.

I Like the Ivory but maybe a different green something a bit brighter maybe?
I like the idea tho
