Might be a tad too dark, I would throw one decently light color into the mix, if just for a focus:flip::bouncy:

You could always use a historical uniform to give you some ideas as well.

I always found doing halved or quartered colour schemes looked nice. Something like the Space Marine chapter Howling Griffons (quartered yellow and red) or Eagle Warriors (halved blue and white) can be quite striking while looking clean.

My favorite colours for just odd but working well together are, bright orange and bright green or bone white and deep crimson.

I think that\'d work better, as most knights have that anyways (just look at teh brettoinans). You\'d have to add grey somehow, maybe their hair/beards. Hey, I\'m just saying it\'d look wierd to have an army with a color in it that wasn\'t represented on the mini. (Or maybe they could be the orange kinghts and be devoted to citrus, thus having a yellow and ruby red grapfruit scheme?) lol

Yeah, nicely - especially if you quartered them or halfed them with the colors reversing on each level of the body - that is if you want to put that much work into it.

I dunno about dark grey and black, but I think It\'d look cool with a medium to dark tone of blue. Lloyds idea would look cool, you could do \'em with rudimentary heraldry, too.

i was thinking bright blue highlights in contrast to the dark colors...

That would probably work - although are you talking about single color and working to the light highlights or about Quartering the figure?

I painted mine like they said they were in the Index Astartes. I did black armor with silver lettering and gold details) It looks really sweet.

Heres a WIP pic of it I took a while ago, its finished now tho. http://www.coolminiornot.com/?id=43766

I say go with day glo orange and neon yellow. Then lie to yourself and say its special and you\'re unique.lol

Sorry. Inside joke.:~(

i\'ve decided blue and white. i\'m gonna do the white using elf flesh highlighted all the way up to pure white so it looks a little different than regular white.

would elf flesh highlighted to pure white look good?
