Hey there, I'm new. I've forayed into Warhammer before but last time was just before the recession hit and money was too tight to mention at that time so I had to leave it be. Currently I'm in a much better (and wealthier) position to get working on building an army. I've already snapped up a Codex on the day it came out and I've got some ideas about what I want my army to look like but with limited painting experience I honestly can't say for sure what I want to go with.
I plan to cycle through some of the styles on a set of Saurus since they've got a good balance of everything I'll end up painting in the army (Metal, scales, skin, teeth/bones and the like.)
My thinking is that I want an army that doesn't assault you visually with a swathe of electric-bright colours but rather a more subtle, reptilian colour scheme which can then be offset by the feathers, facepaint, some dappling on the scales perhaps, armour and other features which will be more attention-seeking.
(Please bear in mind I've not had models to really try these schemes out on yet.)
Scheme 1:
I was thinking of a beige skin with light brown scales perhaps? However that may not sit well with the brighter colours of the ornaments and make them look too flashy for the style.
Scheme 2:
A cloudy green for the skin with a darker green for the scales? (This I'm really unsure about as I can't see gold or bronze looking good on this scheme.)
Scheme 3:
We kill the Batman... yeah I'm out of Ideas. Chock it up to inexperience rather than a lack of creativity... please.
I'd really welcome suggestions but at this time I am just worried I'll make a wrong choice and end up changing my mind later throwing money away.
