Looking for peoples opinions on these two colour schemes. Please excuse the poor painting skills lol ive not painted in a long while haha

No offence intended, but the blue with gold trim screams thousand sons to me. I realise that is not the intent.

Either way, I prefer that scheme over the predominantly yellow.

I think either the blue or the gold/yellow should be a few shades darker; the overall result looks to bright on both models IMO

Hmm maybe lessen the bling, I use on my sterguard / officers and they are channeling Mr T somewhat

Just tone it down a bit, bit too bright, use a more muted palette

I think they both look alright. As far as just the color scheme goes, i think the blue with gold trim will be easier on you in the long run. You wont have to layer up as much to get a good color.
I believe what the other guys here are saying is that the colors are to bright so they look like legos. I had the same problem when i started painted (only two years ago so im no pro myself) I find
that if you base coat your models black and layer up to about a shade brighter than you want it and then apply a wash it really helps round it out and also helps the highlights on the edges of your
model pop really nicely. Like i said im still an infant myself when it comes to painting but thats my bit of constructive advice for what its worth. Either way they both look decent i just think
the blue will save you some time and frustration.

I've only been painting year n a bit but just tone down, blue and gold works but just too bright,

Maybe add wash to gold, thinned out red or brown wash to make it more a rose gold and make detail stand out. Learnt a lot off a friendly black templers player on forum
and maybe metal knee plates vs gold you have?

I much prefer the blue with yellow trim. but as others have stated if it was a little darker it would look a little less cartoonie.

I much prefer the blue scheme over the yellow scheme.

Well ive only gone and changed my mind already!

Im going to go with a dark red scheme, kind of similar to khorne berzerkers
