Okay, here's the first few minis that I've been working on for a Necro team I'm putting together... The question is what do you think of the Purple/Yellow color scheme. As an fyi I will also plan on using white (on zombie/werewolf/golem jerseys).
Just wanted to know what you all think, with the stress on any ideas to help them look better.
thanks,
 |

nice color scheme, even though I find the goul looks too "healty" for an undead player  |

Yeah I like it. I must admit I might try something simular when I get around to doing my Raesetra Wraiths team, although I'm thinking Red and Grey.
I've got to do the Champions of Death first though.
Too many models, not enough time.  |

| I have a human team with similar colors, but your undead team is excellent. |

| Must just be my screen but it looks blood red (literally, not GW blood red) and yellow. But looks awesome all the same. |

It's not your screen that makes it that way, it's my horrible photgraphy skills... These are the best pictures I've ever taken of a mini, but they still stink. As a point of reference to let you know how bad the color is off, the background is actually white...
I'm going to try taking pictures outdoors on a sunny day (indoor lights are notoriously yellow, and that may be my problem), but other than that, I'm stumped on how to get a more focused/color accurate picture. I'm using the macro mode, and a tripod, and 3 lights sources... though I wonder if the fact that I do seal all my minis (testors dull-cote) causes the camera to not focus...
Thanks for your input on the colors, I'll try to take a few shots of a Golem, Werewolf, and Zombie to see if the white T-shirts are up to snuff with the other colors... |

| I used purple and yellow for my gobbo team, and it look great. I say stick with it! Your photography skills are fine, you just need to change the light source, that's all. Using regular incandessant light (standard light bulb) will give everything a reddish tinge. You may want to get yourself a few "daylight" bulbs that produce white light, or just try to take the pictures in a darkened room using your flash as a sole light sourse if you're on a tight budget. |

| Thanks I'll run to the hardware store and see if I can find some of those lights, and give them a try... |

I am not sure where you are, but better places to search than a hardware store are either a sewing store (the natural light bulbs are popular with folks who do cross stitch) or art supply stores. In the UK, they run about £2-£5 each, depending upon the store.

| Good job bro, very unique. Going standard Undead or Necromantic? I would like to see how mummies and flesh golems look painted up in that scheme. |

| Looks cool...Difficult to find that balance between deathly character colours and the brighter colours associated with bloodbowl/football... |

Consider that purple and yellow are complimentary colours on the colour wheel, and you can't go wrong!
