Pool: Custodes Solar watch red or light blue details

[Danarc]

Hi buddies! 

I started a little contingent of Custodes and after a looooooong evaluation I decided for the Solar Watch for two reason: I already have a Grey Knight army, so I am tired of metallic colors and I already have a HH Raven Guard army, so I don't want paint black armor anymore.

According to this I decided to go with white and I would try non metallic metal gold for the golden parts. Yes I am crazy. 

The problem started when I saw some solar watch Custodes with light blue decorations instead red ones. But I am quite bonded with BG so now I am in trouble. To find a solution I painted two models with the two different colors. They are painted only with base colors, no shade, no layering, no highlighting except for gems and crests.

What do you suggest to me? Which one do you prefer?

 

PS imagine the red one Custodes with red shoulders. I didn't painted them because if at the end I'll go for the blue one, bringing back shoulders from red to white would be crazy.

 

 

Thank you for your collaboration!

The blue is really unique, if you can afford it though I'd say maybe just paint them both to a finished state then count whatever colour you don't choose as the main one as a shield captain or something!

Yeah, I really dig that Blue look!

Been thinking of starting custodes, and was going to use the few Knights exemplar I painted up as an example of a color scheme, the White and blue is great in my opinion.

Agreed that the blue is something unique and cool.
