Hi guys

Progress on these has come to a screaming halt, I have come to a decision crisis, my intension was to paint these guys in the same colours as the previous DKoK troops, fieldgrey with dark grey armour, whilst painting, I am always looking on the net for inspiration, I have noticed a couple of IG. armies/figures with light turquoise colours that looked really good, so my dilemma, should I

1) pull my head in and stick to the current colour, fieldgrey/dark grey.
2) give just this unit light turquoise armour to make them a, little different (I'm a little worried they won't fit in) the uniform would stay fieldgrey.
3) make light turquoise the colour for all armour in the army (re paint the finish units) the uniform would stay fieldgrey.

I have to also say if I were to use turquoise, I would weather the hell out of it, and make I'd really beaten up.

Found this to be essential reading…..

There are some superb GW 40K Imperial paint schemes inside, in particular a couple of blue/ gray turquoise schemes with full weathering guides that might help.

Am using this particular pattern at the moment on some 6mm PACFED, anyway hope it all helps and congrats on some amazing work, well impressed sir!

I like them as they are, but if you add turquoise you need to add it to everybody as otherwise these guys will be too out of place (being about six times bigger than the average trooper).

Either stick with the current scheme or add turquoise to every trooper.

I say stick with what you have.

I think they look quite good as they are… great work, Gunnar Dunbar.

Thanks for the input guys, stick with the current colours.
