Another topic and another question, i'm wanting to test out the new contrast paints and have thus undercoated my models with wraith bone spray, to hopefully get the best effect. I don't want to do the traditional 8th cadian paint style, so what schemes could you guys suggest or any inspiration to pull from?

Arms have been left off for ease of painting

Planning to model sergeants with Berets or dress caps from anvil industries

Red and gold.pattern to match the picture backdrop?

Otherwise, what colour do.you like? Turquoise or teal.green type.colour might be nice with some kind of contrasting armour plate.

I've been looking at more military styled uniforms as i do intend to 'color scheme' the helmets accordingly or shoulder pads of each squad like space marine chapters do, marking out medics, vox, heavy weapons, ect ect

Go back in GW history and look at some of the earlier regiments and their paint schemes. Find something close to what you like and do a test model or ten.

Cheers,

pick a color combination you like and go whit that, doesnt have to be use full. i painted mine in cadian collors but if
i could do it over i would do black cloth whit red armour plates and gold details. black tanks whit red compagny markings.
