Minigiant Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Hi I have become really stuck on a colour scheme for my fledgling Sisters army. I have a near complete Index Soratis but not a colour scheme that I am happy with. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321619-index-sororitas-order-of-the-abyss/ I need your help, suggestions, ideas, anything that can trigger inspiration. I am staying away from purple I want something dark and sinister, so I have played around with black. Except red is like the GW established order, white makes them look like Black Templars. PLEASE HELP ME Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321985-colour-scheme-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I'm guessing you want to have a dark theme to match with the abyss name, but that does limit you especially if you don't want purple. A dark shade of grey could be nice, especially if you build it up with some washes. What about a darker, midnight blue? For the robes there's a bit less choice, due to the nature of them and how they need to complement the armour colour which is why black/red/white are common as they're more flexible colours (and very Sistery). With darker armour colours lighter robes would complement better I think, but if we're talking about a dark grey/blue what about cream coloured robes, or bone? There's nothing stopping you having a pattern on the robes too if you want to mix things up, or doing a split of colours on them. Even a small stripe or band along the bottom will go a long way to making them look different to an established scheme :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321985-colour-scheme-help/#findComment-4381435 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I quite like the one that's already featured on you IA That said, if you want to avoid purple (booooo! ) then perhaps a shade of blue that approaches the one that the Night Lords use Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321985-colour-scheme-help/#findComment-4381458 Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Incubi Darkness armour with black or grey robes would both look very nice. Inverting those would work well, too.

Obviously great minds think a like, I was just imagining what GW Dark Eldar colour scheme would look like on Sisters Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321985-colour-scheme-help/#findComment-4381540 Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I'm a great fan of Incubi Darkness, it's an awesome colour. XD Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321985-colour-scheme-help/#findComment-4381586 Share on other sites More sharing options...
