The thing is, I want them each of them to have slightly different colours per miniature. The colour combinations are pink, purple, black and blue.
Is this allowed or not? And, more importantly, would you take issue with someone having painted their troops in this fashion?

This is the first unit I've ever painted. I may well paint them up, put them together, and realise that my unit just looks awful with them all being painted differently...
(Um.. Yeah, I'm actually thinking that's pretty damn possible at this point in time, so perhaps I'll go with more uniformity going on with these girls/guys/its)...

However, I still think it'd be very interesting to get your thoughts on this. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/446105/4210996.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/446105/4210996.page GMT Your Thoughts on Strictness of Colour Uniformity in Units? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/446105/4211001.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/446105/4211001.page GMT Your Thoughts on Strictness of Colour Uniformity in Units?
I wanted each different miniature of the same unit painted differently so that each one kind of stands out more to me as an easily recognisable unique character... But the downside is, is that I can imagine the appearance of the unit as a whole looking more... annoying / muddled with a clash of very different colours for each model.

I think I'll go with giving them all the basic pink / purple / black colour scheme as a whole, but add little tattoo-like flourishes to each one to personalize them. That may work better methinks. We shall see!

You could always paint the rims of the bases a uniform color by unit to keep them clearly identifiable.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/446105/4211348.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/446105/4211348.page GMT Your Thoughts on Strictness of Colour Uniformity in Units?
There are no rules saying your minis have to be painted in a certain scheme or way. And with chaos, well it would make more sense that they wouldn't all be uniform.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/446105/4211403.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/446105/4211403.page GMT Your Thoughts on Strictness of Colour Uniformity in Units? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/446105/4211765.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/446105/4211765.page GMT Your Thoughts on Strictness of Colour Uniformity in Units? IG it's not reasonable since they all get the same outfits/armor/weapons etc. But Daemons are a whole other ballgame. Slaanesh especially I think should be different colors because of their lust of indulgence in all senses. Just maybe make sure you keep them almost similar. Don't make one dark grey, one dark purple, one dark blue, and then one BRIGHT PINK WITH BUTTERFLIES. I know that's what you were gonna do.

Lol! Being female, I should probably prepare myself for people expecting butterflies on my minis... NO BUTTERFLIES under ANY circumstances! XD

You don't really have armor which you can do that with, but the loincloths and the like could easily be a place to do that on your Daemonettes.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/446105/4213013.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/446105/4213013.page GMT Your Thoughts on Strictness of Colour Uniformity in Units? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/446105/4213026.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/446105/4213026.page GMT Your Thoughts on Strictness of Colour Uniformity in Units? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/446105/4213032.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/446105/4213032.page GMT Your Thoughts on Strictness of Colour Uniformity in Units? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/446105/4213165.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/446105/4213165.page GMT Re:Your Thoughts on Strictness of Colour Uniformity in Units? want attention on them) and are painted a series of garish pinks, yellows, and purples.

I think I'm going to go with the tattoos being the distinguishing / unique features for each of my daemonettes. Maybe with small variations on the hair and armour but nothing that will make them look too muddled when put together.
