Paint scheme...chosen

So i've decided on a paint scheme for my plague wing.

back up...

the store i'm using now, Silver Dragon Square sold out of Chaos models a few weeks ago and has not been able to get a new shipment of GW stuff. In the mean time i've considered an Eldar Saim Hann army and a Dark Angels Deathwing army because he has the models in stock...gah! But methinks my wife would kill me for that.

i resorted to buying a 7 man unit of chaos bikers from ebay (7 models retail for $15 each, paid $39.99 shipped) they will probably only be used for BIG games (more than 1500 points)

well yesterday at the Dragon, I went to paint and play WOW TCG. i sat down with my metal plague marines (hate those models) and devised a paint scheme for my Plague Wing.

Plague Marine Paint Scheme
Prime Black
Heavy Drybrush Skull White
Drybrush 1:1 Skull White/Catachan Green
Light Drybrush Catachan Green
Light Drybrush Rotting Flesh
Ink Wash 1:1 Dark Green/Brown Inks
Ink Wash Brown

I think i want to do something different for my Terminators, perhaps a more pale color scheme for them (like the Deathwing)
Backpacks, guns, etc, i'm trying out a rust effect:
Watered down Fiery Orange
Drybrush Dark Flesh
Alternate Blood Red and Fiery Orange (the GW website where I got this doesn't give the technique for this, i am going to assume it's stippling.

Starting a xenos army would be unforgivable... stay strong and stay away from them Space Elves!
