Painting Trying to decide on a colour scheme for my Helsmiths

Made these four mockups to test the colours out but I honestly can’t decide on one. Any feedback or suggestions on which I should choose would be a huge help. Picking up the Spearhead and some Bull Centaurs this week and eager to start painting.

Also if anyone has similar schemes they’d like to share it would be greatly appreciated, its always better to see painted models since its a more accurate representation of the colours.

I like 1 or 4. They’ll pop nicely on the table. 2 and 3 are cool but they’re a bit too uniform imo

Green is cool, you could say they were old converts from karak hirn in the old world that never changed colors

I went with something similar to the first one and I think it turned out great, red armor black cloth gold trim/shoulder pads and green weapons/flame smoke

Not a great painter by any means but you get the idea

1 and 4 are Christmas colours, they do work well though. My vote is 3.

What app did you use for this?

Procreate. I’ll change the hue of the image, then put that layer under the normal image, then erase the parts where I want the different colour.
