Wow. Thank you for your feedback everyone!
I honestly wasn't expecting such a positive response given the amazing work that is posted here daily.

@Weazel: I think it is the photo that makes it look so deep. It does stand out from the model on the tabletop (read: my shelf) but I can test out a more muted purple on my next Plague Marine. If it looks better it isn't difficult to modify the other minis to match.

@Elbows: Bone and Purple has always been a favorite colour combination of mine. I was a little worried people would hate the purple after the negative response to the Mortarion leaked picture.
Thanks for the compliment on the sorcerer... I really am not a fan of the original face.

@Sammoth: I will definitely look at adding some highlights to the metal and spike areas. I agree that the metals look a bit flat on the larger pictures.

@Cothonian: Thanks. I think the retro feel might come from the colour scheme looking closer to the 30k Death Guard than the current green 40k style.

@winterdyne: Cheers. I wanted to do something a little different. Hopefully they stand out when I eventually get them in to a game.

@S.e.r.a.p.h.i.m: Sure can.
Armour: Army painter bone spray, Washed with Citadel Agrax Earthshade and Edge highlighted with Reaper Graveyard Bone
Purple: Vallejo Violet for the base colour, Washed with Citadel Agrax Earthshade, then a mix of Violet and Vallejo Blue violet, then edge highlighting with Blue Violet.
As you might have guessed I lean pretty heavily on the Agrax Earthshade on these models...
If you are interested in a full breakdown of my colours I can happily provide it when I get home from work.

Rust is something I would like to try... I just have no idea how to make nice looking rust so I might just experiment with Typhus Corrosion and some drybrushed orange.
If you, or anyone else, have a nice recipe for rust I would love to hear it.

@darkstar6783: Thank you very much for all the compliments. It really adds to my motivation to get more stuff painted.

@spincr: Thanks. I wanted it to look unique while still having a nurgley feel to it.

@Icelord: The model was base coated in Army painter bone spray, Washed with Citadel Agrax Earthshade and Edge highlighted with Reaper Graveyard Bone.
You can also add in a step to drybrush the model with white after the basecoat to add more depth but I found I was getting a nice enough result with the spray+wash+edge combo.
