Different Nagarythe Colour schemes?

[jinxs]

Hi,

Straight to the point: Im planning on building a "small" nagarythe section to my army . I especially like the new dreadspears/shards(maybe some other dark elves too) models and would like to impliment them to my HE-army, but a slight alternative colour scheme of my current army would touch them nicely and add a feeling of the old provinces.

My problem is I really dont like the purple theme of nagarythe. Any alternative ideas to throw around, images would be swell.

For Asur!
And sorry for my english.

black, white, grey works as well.

If you want to tie them all in together then I would suggest going a more shocking variant of your current theme. So if for instance you currently use White/Enchanted Blue then go for Black/ice blue?

I always think shocking contrast is required for dark elves, so if you use blue it needs to highlight right up to ice blue, if you go purple it needs to highlight right up to pink... Etc

If you can pick up a copy of the High Elf heraldry book, there's a nice section on Nagarythe in there.

Short of it is, Nagarythe (post-sundering) does not use purple as a predominant colour anymore. Main colours are black, dark blues, dark reds & white contrasts.

Like Andrew I would go for a darker and more 'extreme' version of your current theme. That way they fit in and stand out at the same time.

What is your current scheme?

My current scheme is the notorius blue/white scheme/silver and a hint of gold ( I know I know, but before your eyes roll out of your skull I do break the norms abit, but I do like it still)
I have done the robes with lighter whites, using base of mix: ice blue to white 1/3 mix, which is quite clean colour when highlighted with white. And the silver is tinted quite heavily on blue.

My main fear is abit that nagarythe army would look too dark elvish and we all know once you go slaneesh, you cant exactly go applepicking after that. But I still would like to have them separated from the look of rest of the army.
The main problem is probably on colouring the robes on dreadspears models, because using my iceblue/white mix seems too "pure" for them.. but on the other hand grey seems dull. Shock points for those models ( that show colour) would be those robes/shields and the trim. Armor I have somewhat figured out: darker metallics maybe even black glossy armor for elites and champions in full gold armor.

Nothing wrong with the standard blue and white, or a variation of it. I've seen most of the color scheme's you can think of for HE. And very few are truly original. So don't worry about originality. In the end what matters a lot more is the execution of the scheme. If it's well done then almost all scheme's can look stunning.

As for what to do with your Nagarythe contingent. It sounds like you have a fairly light blue look on your current elves (I would love to see pictures). So why not go for a more darker blue for your Nagarathy elves. Use grey or a sandstone color (I think Ushabti Bone is the current GW version, not sure anymore since they renamed all their paints) instead of regular white. And more gold then silver.

That way they will still fit in your current army but will be a clear separate contingent. And I don't think many people will mistake a blue grey and gold scheme for a DE one.
