The rest of my Death Guard army is painting in the "default" 40k colour scheme of Death Guard Green, which means that on the one hand it would be nice to have a change but on the other it would be nice to have it look like a cohesive army.

Yes I know that basically I can do whatever I like, but what I'm wondering is is there any fluff about the colour schemes? I'm sure I'm going to wish I'd gone the the other way whichever colour I chose, but at least I won't have fluff irritating me if I later discover there's an in universe explanation or having one or the other.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/780133/10566425.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/780133/10566425.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/780133/10566827.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/780133/10566827.page GMT On the one hand, the Death Guard Legion was infected with the Destroyer plague on their way to terra and from there on turned green.
On the other hand the codex shows all kinds of color schemes, so apparently in 10K years the DG vectors evolved different paths and got different colors.

Another approach would be making up warp-stuff. That Contemptor might be from before the destroyer plague and travelled through time.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/780133/10567284.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/780133/10567284.page GMT
