So I've put together and EC army using Mk IV heresy era stuff. But it's going to be a chaos army. I can't decide what color to use for the lenses. I was just wondering what everyone else thought.

Necrons - 3500 pts.
Tau - 4500 pts.
Ultramarines - 2500 pts.
Tyranids - 3000 pts.
WoC - 2000 pts.

I'd go for a yellow orange.

Yellow, green, blue, red, orange could all work. Depends on your shade of purple and what other colours you've got goong on. Just use something that contrasts well.

I've got marines that are partially purple and found that a teal lens works well.

Look at a "color wheel" [google it] and choose a contrasting (opposite) color on the wheel from your main color.

This is what will make the eyes pop more than anything else.

Show us a pic of one of your marines if you've got one finished.
