Space Marine vehicle schemes (camo etc)?

[Evil Eye]

One thing I've always been a bit "eh" on with Space Marines is their vehicles* being painted to almost exactly match their armour. It makes sense to some degree given the whole focus on heraldry the Astartes have, but IMO at least it looks a bit...I dunno, dull? Personally I think having the vehicles being painted slightly differently from the actual Marines is a bit more interesting to look at.

 

Anyway, does anyone have any examples of interesting Astartes vehicle schemes to share (their own models or otherwise)? I have to say, I'm rather fond of schemes where the main Marine colours are used for the tanks, but applied differently; for example, my Chapter (the Death Crusaders) are predominantly charcoal-grey and dull red, with some dark green accents, and for the vehicles I'm planning on using those colours to create a camo pattern.

 

Also there's the old RT camo schemes. This Red Scorpions one might be one of my favourites- resembles Caunter Camo quite well which is nice!

I'd check any of the schemes from the Imperial Armour books, I remember those being quite varied. I'd also try implementing company colours into vehicle schemes if you're going to be painting a Codex compliant chapter. You can add some character to transport vehicles by painting squad markings on them or the badge of office of the special character they are carrying (Chaplain, Apothecary, Techmarine and so on).
