Techmarine colour scheme

Title says it all really can't decide on a mostly red with one silver arm or the reverse? Or any alternative schemes anyone has?

 

The codex is pretty light on suggestions apart from the have a dual alligence to the omnissiaha and the emperor. So some sort of dual shared scheme seems appropriate.

IMO, a GK Techmarine would have a stronger loyalty to his Chapter than to the Mechanicus, so in my head I see him with just a red arm or even as little as a red shoulderpad.

 

What do you think, Thorne? Is your GK Techmarine more tech than Grey Knight?

Wyked. I see him more as a grey knight than a techmarine, as they are inducted into the chapter first THEN sent to Mars. So a 60/40% split seems right. Also his armour and weapons would IMHO be made on Mars (with exception of NFW's) so again red gets my vote.

 

Having said that the rest of my force is metallic so somthing like red that contrasts would helpbreak things up.

 

On a tangent. I am making a conversion Beamer for him using the psycannon as a base weapon and parts from the plasma cannon backpack, and incinerator gas cylinders. Does anyone have any other ideas?

 

Will post pics ASAP

Techmarine colors seem to vary from full red with only the right shoulder pad in chapter colors with the badge to full chapter colours with the only the left pad in red with the mechanicus badge. How you would choose to do it would be completely up to you really, if yer kitbashing a techmarine the shoulder pad with the techie badge comes in pretty much every tank box on the driver sprue.
