Use us to inform your decision very slightly, but almost entirely go with what you think looks best and/or which you prefer to paint. You’re the one who has to paint them and use them and it often comes down to gut instinct as to which one prefers I find.
It may just be the camera but the ochre looks a bit too cream like in those photos, I’d go for a more darker yellow, like GW desert yellow.
Personally I’m going to go with one of the schemes from the Vraks books, or one using the traditional Krieg tones, possibly grey and dark camo green.
The ochre is Iyanden Darksun. It looks a bit darker than on the picture. The other colours are Catachan Green and Scorched Brown.
Actually all vehicles are painted to the same standart: black undercoat and then i applied the colours without any additional highlighting.
BTW Bunt-farben-anstrich means varicoloured-colour-paintwork.
Another variant i thought about is the Buntfarbenanstrich without the Iyanden Darksun.
Could look something like the Bombard on page 53 of Vraks 1.
Or Codex Grey (or the darker Shadow Grey) with Catachan Green stripes lined by black...hmmm
BTW: Can you dicern the different colour schemes on this picture?
From left to right:
- Regal Blue greatcoat, Chaos Black helmet.
- Scorched Brown greatcoat, Chaos Black helmet.
- Codex Grey + some Catachan Green greatcoat, Scorched Brown helmet(inspired by WWI German Infantry after 1916)
- Catachan Green greatcoat, Catachan Green helmet.
- Codex Grey greatcoat, Codex Grey helmet((is inspired by WWI German Infantery after 1916 if the helmets where Scorch Brown)
