Dark Mechanicus colors
« on: April 03, 2011, 05:07:49 PM »
I have 2 Hell Blades and a Hell Talon that need some paint.  These are chaos fliers for those not following the true gods.  Oh hey look, a link! http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Chaos/VEHICLES_INFANTRY_AND_ACCESSORIES/HELL-BLADE-CHAOS-FIGHTER.html

Problem is that I would be fielding them with at least 2 armies, Vraksian Renegades and Death Guard.  Maybe one day, the World Eaters.

We all know the Renegade Guard are too petrified to touch the daemon engines and we also know that the Death Guard don't paint, they just rot.

So the question becomes, what are the colors of the Dark Mechanicus?  If you are of the artistic type, the color scheme of my Renegade Guard is brown / khaki / bolt gun and flesh tons.  My Death Guard are white / devlin mud / rust / undead flesh and a dash of purple.  World Eaters are just red and bronze.

Thoughts?

Well, the Techpriests of Mars wear red, and the Dark Mechanicus are really just a pale imitation of them so...pink?

no no pink is slannesh, but drop the flying base three inches and throw some big ass speakers on those bad boys and you got a kick ass model.

I think a paint scheme to complement both forces is viable. I'd focus more on the rust than the rot.

One idea are magnetic icons/insignia. Whichever army you're playing, swap out details on the fly.
