    Blue would potentially be easier since it is GWs scheme so there will be lots of good guides around for it...

    Why don't you try several of them on a few models and see what you do and don't like? It is very hard to judge how a scheme will look until you put it on a model.

    Oh yeah, not sure what your level of painting is, but if you are a beginner probably stay away from black. It can be difficult to make it look good and not just lose all detail.

    I bought a box of skinks and every 1 is different so i could trial schemes and techniques until i found 1 i liked.
    Bear in mind that you could pretty much use 2 colours and a wash and complete a squad.

    I want to see someone paint some Violet purple colored skinks. :D

    you could probaly just base them purple bry brush/blend their bellies and
    then do a light bry brush on the betails, then wash eveything in levithan purple.
