Dosjetka Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Hello all, I've come to you as I have recently decided to start a Slaaneshi Space Marine army. The reasons for these are: large scope for both conversions and sculpting (which was a major factor in the selection of this army over all the other 40k ones), large scope of colour schemes and cool "feel". So, what I need is ideas for colour schemes. I wouldn't mind going with the usual pink & black scheme, but I was wondering if there were other schemes used out there that you may know of? If so, then please post below (preferably with pictures)! ;) Cheers, Ludovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 well back in the days the fluff about NM was that each one of them is painted/looks different and that each one of them thinks that he is the closest to perfection . But of course that doesnt make a good looking army[or more precise it is realy hard to pull off] . I would go with something not offten use marble armor with gold trims , neon blue armor with silver , inversion of colors[most metalic only details are in color paint] . Should make the army looks different and nice . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minigun762 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I have to agree with Jeske that alternating the color scheme or color placement for each member is a nice way to make them unique while still having a sense of unity to the army. I've always been a fan of the bone/off white color, I don't see many armies using that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Thank you all for your suggestions ;) I have looked through the links and read your replies, but I'm still not sure. I'll be using black I think, but I can't decide which second colour I should use. Maybe bone? Ludovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 bone looks best with bronze [the metal] and/or tarnished gold . black imo doesnt make chaos models look great , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Hm.. I may give the bone/bronze scheme a try, but then again, the pink/black one really appeals to me... Argh, decisions, decisions :rolleyes: Ludovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Nihm Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Why not go and try out some schemes in The SM Painter ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Why not go and try out some schemes in The SM Painter ? A good idea that. I'll go and have some fun then :tu: Ludovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I know that many people are against using the colours that GW says that the Emperor's children use, but they can be awesome if done correctly. So I say go with your gut feeling and make them pink and black. As you can see in the link, Pink Emperor's Children, a Chaos marine in almost full pink armour can look sinister and bitter. No it is not my model. /Cate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Why the opposition? Is just personal taste or is it fluff-linked? As for the gut feeling, well I've got it, so I'll follow it ;) Ludovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
empchildrenbob Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 coolminiornots on strike... I say go pink and black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobointherain Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 go for bright colours, slaanesh likes his boys lookin fancy. They're goin for complete sensory overload so if it clashes, seems garish or OTT your probably in the right ballpark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplain belisarius Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 im thinking of doing a slaanesh army perhaps...may i suggest pink and black or possibly purple and gold? (those are my ideas for a good slaaneshi paintscheme..) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makesomenoise Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I've been using a black base with heavy pink on the helms shoulders gloves and boots, then doing alternating purple knee pads/ elboe pads with touches of gold and daemonette hide on fleshy bits. So effectively black/pink/purple/gold/daemonette hide. They aren't worthy to show off and i like to use weird colors like scorpion green or enchanted blue on wires. But the ar,y looks coherent at a distance and sort of :) up close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
