howdy all, I usually hang out in the 40k section of the forums but I've branched out to warmachine for this special occassion. I saw a sale so I picked up two models, Magnus the Warlord and Bane Lord Tartarus. My plan is to paint them and then maybe resell them.

My first question is what color schemes should I expect for each? Does the fluff allow for flexibility or is it pretty rigid? For example, I see that Magnus the traitor has green, brown, and gold armor while magnus the warlord seems to be wearing Cygnar colors. This makes no sense to me. Could someone tell me why this is?

Finally, I was thinking of getting into warmachine itself, but I don't know which army I would play. I like the look of the Retribution of Scyrah models, but have any stats been released yet? Which armies are the cheapest/most expensive and easiest/hardest to play?

Hmm... I seem to have enough questions for two threads, but I won't bog y'all down in numerous threads. I would appreciate any information you can give me!
