Paint scheme for Primaris Iron Hands

[Deus_Ex_Machina]

I will soon be finished with my Rust Bot project and then there will be the remaining models to tackle from the respective Command & Recruit boxes which will be Primaris. But what kind of paint scheme should I use?

 

For my vintage 40K IH the traditional black scheme has been used:

For the 30K version an oily metal scheme has been applied:

Here are two ideas which I had came up with:

1. Swap the main black colour for white. Main armour would be white with black bolter casings. This way I can finally use the black IH Legion insignia from the transfer sheet which are useless on both black and metallic armour.

2. Buy an airbrush and use it to apply a nice, fancy metal shifting colour.

 

But hey, maybe you have a better idea. Lets hear it.

Not that this is necesarily a "better" idea, but I really like the Iron Hands scheme that bring some deep dark red tones.

But limiting the amount:

 

 

As I feel like that Primaris are a kind of way back to some war precepts from the HH era, it might be a way to "close the loop".

 

In that sense the Clan Brannsar scheme reposted by @Iron Hands Fanatic is also a great source of inspiration:
