Alternate Color Scheme (Menoth)

[RabiTampa]

Hello all,

I've decided that over the summer I will be repainting my Protectorate army. Right now, they are the standard studio color scheme but I want something different, BUT I never really see a lot of different color schemes for the protectorate faction. do any of you guys have pics of your alt colored menoth and do you have any WILD suggestion as to how to repaint my army? Also, I will be using dipping where I can, since I have a massive army (max of everything in the line except amon, harby, ToM, guardian and castigator).

can I haz halp?

Thanks guys and gals

I remember seeing one with purple as the main color, and another that was pink. Theres a fire and brimstone kind of one in black with flame effects.

I paint my Menites with cream/bone armour, brown robes, and turquoise/blue 'other bits'. You can see the results in my gallery (http://picasaweb.google.com/chriscawthorn/Protectorate?feat=directlink#). Here's an example

I typically use a layering approach, with a bit of blending when it really matters, but I imagine that the bone and brown (and gold) would be easy to do by dipping.

In case you're interested, the bone is is worked up from GW Bubonic Brown to Bleached Bone, the brown is Scorched to Bestial Brown, and the blue is (sort of) Hawk Turquoise, shaded by mixing with whatever dark blue I have lying around (Necron Abyss for this guy, I think).

Posted some stuff here and there are a lot of other nicer looking paint jobs way better than mine.
