Try and keep their base colors fairly toned down and neutral, so the glowy bits of the necrotite furnaces (the green stuff) can be bright adn contrasting color. Looks gorgeous on the table top, believe me, all the glowy bits are loacted towards the top of the model and have nice flat areas ideal for painting gradients on for a reason.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/411915/3593923.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/411915/3593923.page GMT
Here is a picture of my Scaverous

Not a great picture, but you should be able to get a good idea of how my color scheme worked.

I also have seen Cryx in a dark red, almost purple. And I think one common alternate color scheme from MK I was black with gold trim.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/411915/3594489.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/411915/3594489.page GMT Necrotite green with a snot green to highlight
Blighted gold on the brass areas
Greatcoat grey and blue ink for the rest.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/411915/3595191.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/411915/3595191.page GMT
If you take a bit of imagination you can come up with some amazing schemes. A few tasters: Black and gold, old brass like Mercs, green sheen now that is hard to pull off, dark midnight blue is rather sexy if you base with an almost black, ghostly bright blue, Khornate red and gold; a 40k metaphor; looks brilliant on Heethers and Helljacks and the bright yellow chicken for Mc(donalds)thralls and chickenjacks.

Good an easy way of getting inspiration:
