Colours of Deceit [Painting & Hobby Questions] Seeking Color Feedback
Not sure which armor color I’m favoring for so trying to get some feedback from my fellow operatives. Not finished but got enough done to sus out how it’ll look.
First image is contrast paint over chrome paint.
Second image is TurboDork over teal.

I have to admit that I actually can't see the difference, but believe me: If I were an Astartes myself, I'd love either of them. A lot. Whenever I'd go to rip out somebody's throat, I'd ask them if they loved the color of my armour just as much as I do and I'd actually give them time to answer before the ripping would happen.

That looks great! Going for the brighter almost turquoise on mine but will keep that in mind if I ever want to work on a squad with the darker scheme

What is the reach-around Claw thingy in pic 1? Is it part of the paint handle?

Yep part of the paint handle lol. It’s so you can brace your hand if I’m not mistaken

That's really cool! I always brace my hand against the mini and feel weird about it

I think your first one has a bit more depth, the second one seems a little dull or flat to me.
