I'd go with Black (or very dark Grey) and Grey (very light Grey) with washes of green. The rest of my Lizardman army is all very bright colors, so in a sea of Skinks, It'd be really nice to have a stark contrast! Like deadly stalking beasts among a blue sea!
Ok guys so Black and Grey won with Red and Cream, Purple and yellow coming joint second, thanks to all that voted and I will commence painting as soon as I recieve the models, hopefully this week.
Black and grey, I think with some subtle tweaking, some very nice results could be produced (for example having blues mixed into the blacks and oranges mixed into the white, they are both opposing colour sets some could work incredibly well, green and red are the other options). As for myself I'm torn at the moment, can't decided between the top and bottom colour schemes out of this image.
Well @Rikard I have something to confess I too could not decide between black and grey or red and cream so I voted purple and yellow!
just to late to join the party I would definitely not have voted black and grey - what were you all thinking?!
Perhaps it is an idea to add a third contrasting collor, for certain accents. Myself have a rather drab light brownish & black collorsheme for my skinks and spice it up a bit with orange. Here is a link to my skinks in case you are interested: http://www.lustria-online.com/threads/skink-test-paintsheme-wip-c-c-needed.15767/
I have a few ideas for accent colours but I need to get them and get them base coated to see where I go but there will be more to them than black and grey Always liked your skinks and love how you did the eyes makes them Darth Vader like.
