Default HELP! I need somebody! HELP! Not just anybody!(painting Unforgiven)

Lol...I love the beatles...anyway, back on topic. I have made a Dark Angels Unforgiven Chapter! Here is a pick of one of my devastators for example:



Now, I have recently purchased some termies. I realize that as an Unforgiven chapter, their first company is basically like the deathwing.(most are anyway) So I thought, 'hey...since the DA 1st company has a different paintjob, why not my termies too?

Now for the actual question: what color would look good for my terminators in contrast to my black and bronze marines? (please don't say white! :P)

umm.. how about Codex Grey with bronze or gold or black...

or... Fortress Grey with one of those....

or if you want it more "colorful" (since I was thinking "artic" themed)
maybe Scorpion Green with some darker accessory color...

or ultramarine blue with ""

How about a nicely weathered bronze? Similar to your shoulder pads so they match your army - but still contrasting with the black armour.

I was thinking that too... but didn't know if he wanted to make the termies look like "negatives"

They won't look like negatives - they will look more elite!

now THAT would just be the opposite. I mean simillar to the way the Deathwing is different than the green DA. but not tan. I suppose its like: Green is to tan as black is too...

Yours looks almost exactly like my chapter but mine have dark red hands. Maybe consider using a dark red on yours, it worked for me.
