hesitant to because a) its quite warm, and I think I would want to cool down the gold, not make it warmer and b) it makes the trim look kind of oily/dirty, which works well for my CSM but I want a cleaner look for my EC. 

Absolutely! I also like a colder gold for this kind of scheme... so I do think Drakenhof Nightshade or slightly blue wash might be the ticket for you... Not least because it's actually a good shade to define the lines between the major triad of purple/gold/white. I think that could really pump up the legibility of the white/gold separations which are routinely the hardest part of my Khorne scheme (though there for me it's not gold but very dull bronze).

 

Great stuff anyhow - can't wait for more!

 

Cheers,

Interesting suggestion on doing gold trim, @space wolf - I'm not going to redo these guys, but its worth a try on my tormentors, where, if it works as I imagine it doing, might give me a more subdued gold more in keeping with their in game sneakiness.  Or maybe try that and the purple suggestion from @Dr. Clock on my noise marines, though I'm wary at experimenting under the time pressure of having to complete the noisies for my Call to Arms vow.
