For Hammerheads and Devilfish, I would likely make a camo pattern with German Uniform Green and Shadow Grey, with Black on certain armor plates to break up the camo and add contrast to the model. I decide to stick with cool colors for this model.įor a battlesuit, German Uniform Green would still be the main color and I might even use Shadow Grey as an alternate color on the armor plates. You could swap out the Deneb Stone for a warm color that could work, but might end up looking gaudy. Deneb Stone is used as a spot color and black adds contrast. I really like how the Shadow Grey Skin and German Uniform Green go together. This color scheme is an overall cool theme.

These include a list of colors so that you can copy or adopt any of the colors I've used here. Here I have done a few test models that may help you choose a color scheme. I use all three in painting and prefer some over others for different things. We're lucky these days in that there are now 3 main companies that produce some really awesome acrylic paints Privateer Press, Vallejo and Games Workshop. As I started collecting and assembling my force, I paged through copies of White Dwarf, army books and the internet until I found a color scheme I wanted. For me, finding the right color scheme took ages. It generally starts with an army list and color scheme. Many of the greatest painters have yet to complete full armies, while moderately skilled painters accomplish some really stunning armies. While talent and ability may influence the end result, effort and persistence are much more important.

It takes time, effort, dedication, planning and execution. Painting a full army is one of the joys of the hobby.
