Color scheme for my DE army.

Post by Patryk »

Hello! :)

I need an advice how to paint my army. I was thinking about few color schemes, and I dont know which to choose. Clothes will be for sure painted using color like that: http://www.istore.com.pl/prods/358383.jpg For the skin I choose very pale colors. Still don't know about the rest - I mean armors.

Those are alternatives that I think about

a) Simple metallics, mostly metal so classical.
b) Dark - purple
c) Black
d) Other..


What u think? Any suggestions?

welcome to the forum!
Pale skin, natural light green... I'd try black armour to achieve some contrast needed on the table.

Black, but it would have to be highlighted pretty much on theedges to avoid the model being boring and looking like a dark shapeless pulp.

I painted a DE army once. Black armour, yellow cloth and a normal skintone. I loved them. Strong in contrast and looked good on the battlefield. To bad I don't have pics anymore.
