Recently I have been thinking on which Chapter to paint if I ever make a "regular" Space Marine army. I eventually decided to go with a minor chapter instead of one of the founding Chapters and Well-known Successor Chapters like the Black Templars and Flesh Tearers, but the question was which one? There were a lot of interesting ones with cool lore and color schemes, but eventually, I decided to go with the Iron Snakes from the Novel "Brothers of the Snake". However, I don't really know where to start with them in terms of Paint colors, so I was wondering who might have a good scheme for the Iron Snakes.

I suggest you start with a white primer, then paint everything but the shoulder pads in any silver like colour and finaly just add red trim to the shoulder pads, khorne red and evil sunz scarlet for the highlight. Wash everything in black, but be careful not to put too much especialy on the white shoulder pads.
