So I am just starting a DE army and I'm trying to think of a paint scheme that isn't something you see all the time. So I was wondering if you guys and gals had any good ideas? I have scourer Google images and the gallery to get ideas and heres what I have come up with so far...

White with turquoise
Black with copper/bronze
White with crimson

So thoughts and opinions would be greatly appreciated

I'm fond of white and turquoise together.

Do you think gold would be a good accent color with white and turquoise?

It depends on what you're going for, and where you want there to be contrast on the model. I would recommend going with silver if you use grey/blue tones to shade your white, or gold if you plan on using brown/bone tones to shade your white. The turquoise will already contrast nicely with the white regardless of whether you use warm or cool white tones, but the colors will begin to clash if there is too much contrast between all three.

Thanks for all the help. Well I play in the same shop as the guy who has done the frozen fang cult (white,purple, and gold trim). And i lve the way his figs lookbut i dont want to take his scheme. But im think im leaning towards the white and turq but i cant decide what color to do eyes and sails. I was thinking a crimson or something like it but im worried that will be too much contrast.

The other thing im having trouble decide is to primer white or black and paint up to white.
