I am currently starting a Imperial Guard army and I can't think of a color scheme for them. What I want is the armor to be black, but I can't think of a secondary color for the arm and pant legs. I want to get something similar to Black Legion, for these guard will fight alongside with my CSM. Any suggestions for a different color scheme would be perfect, but no run of the mill cadians. Also I want the IG to be along the lines of traitors to go along with my undivided black legion. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Black armor and beige fatigues is actually a pretty decent look. It's the scheme of the regiment in Cadian Blood:

I don't have pictures, but when I was painting run of the mill Cadians I did their fatigues first, and paired with the still primer black armor it was a good look. It'd tie in well with Black Legion, since you'd have both black and a yellowish color with the beige, which would echo the yellow and gold of the Black Legion.
