Skinnie Army colour schemes?!??!!?!

The Legend

Mongoose
I've recently bought the Skinnie Raiders, both boxed sets of Speeders the Skinnie Militia and the Skinnie Lord figure. I've got a decent core of a force but I have one really big problem....

How do I paint em? A brush I realise is a great place to start but the colour scheme is proving to be a real head ache as I don't want to have a comical Bright colour scheme that harps more of a renaissance era Army.

Any Ideas on how I can keep it close to the atmosphere of the Army and still have a semi sensible looking colour scheme?

Possibly, dark red and black?
Brown and black
Dark green and black
Dark blue and black.

If you make the colours dark, it looks quite alien, mine are bright, which I now regret.
 
What at Skinnies also might look good are desert camo colours.
Would make them a bit like egypt stargate troopers (in regard of there bubbly weaponry).
 
Here's some of mine:

I was thinking a dark scheme. My MI are green and grey which I was considering for my Skinnies but I don't want them to look too similar never mind "the Same". I do like the Idea of Dark blue and black or maybe a charcoal grey? Hmmmm.

I must say I like the scheme you use on yer Tyrant that you use for an Avatar. Looks fairly dark, much better than the studio job!
 
The gallery I have for skinnies isn't very large but it has some nice schemes. I love how the skinnies work well with non-traditional color theory. (link in sig)
 
Awwwww cute lil' pink... wait what're you doing with that, noooooo :shock:

While we're at it, anyone got some ideas for how I should paint my skinny advisor (cap scheme is dark angels green, with a catachan green highlight and them maple brown for dirtyness, suit underneath is flat black)

Just so I don't make another thread :wink:
