Tried to make them less black, but still darker than the standard color scheme.
Can't find a nice super-dark red. Mixing the color myself got me to something near tin bitz......

Question is, must I paint them all black ? May I use a mtellic color as their "elite" runs around with much bling?

A squad of 5 Jumppackers:





A single model to show the color:





Painted these marines in a self-mixed color + black JP / soft armor / helmet + a bit reds and browns and green purity seals.

To compare the general scheme used ( vets/JP ):





Do you think it fits, to use a less black scheme with DC? Does this scheme work with basic red/gold BA?

On a side note: those van vets. need a wash!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/310909/1831357.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/310909/1831357.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/310909/1831374.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/310909/1831374.page GMT

The vets are wip, I don't think they should be much darker but they were also just an example.

The Deathcompany is ready ( except bases ).

The "metallic" dark colorof them is fine around other figs with the red/black scheme?
