So while doing some reorganizing the other day I took inventory of my =][= Forces: My Inquisitor Erasmus Cartavolnus is sitting currently primed and awaiting paint. Still need to prime/ paint 3 Culexus, Vindicare, and Callidus Assassins. I need build my Imperial Navy Breachers, Voidsmen, 15 Militarum Tempestus (including making a new Tempstor), 2 Taurox Prime, and Valkyrie. Hopefully I'll add some Arbites.

O.K. here is a test scheme for a squad i'm working on to go with my guard army, they will represent some Imperial Navy grunts from Cadia that are from a naval fleet that got away from Cadia and are now playing the role of supporting ground elements with extra troops,vehicles - tanks and Taurox's and also Heavy Tanks and Valkyries. (In my mind i had the idea like Battlestar Gallactica a fleet of ragtag group of ships with mixed equipment doing the best they can... All the Vehicles will be painted generically in ThunderHawk Blue as a standard kinda like all WW II vehicles were Olive Drab this works for me as i have not painted any vehicles for my guard so this helps break the boredom of painting a new colour so i stay enthused the troops are in standard armed forces Fatigues(Deathworld forest to help tie them in to my main force's uniform) but the armor is Naval fleet issue so i'm going with a blue colour (ThunderHawk Blue) it's not contrasting but will be what they call Accented Analogous ..see below for my colour selection. Lenses on Helms,weapons,Vehicle screens etc will be Red as the contrast to the middle colour, pouches will be leather look and rifles will either be all gunmetal or have Black casings...not sure on that one?...feedback may be needed to tweak that idea ... officers that have little or no armor will be dressed in Dark Blue Coats to stand out from standard troops...haven't thought that far ahead yet... this is the basic scheme, the green will be highlighted up to be a bit brighter and the armor will be highlighted too...whats the best highlight colour for thunderhawk blue?...i was thinking the extreme spot highlight will be screaming skull but i'm kinda stuck on the middle highlight colour?!?... C&C please Cheers, Mithril
