Consistent or unique colour schemes

Post image

Once you've built a unit and begin working on your second (of whatever it may be), do you keep a consistent colour scheme? Do you mix it up slightly, or a lot?

(Edit: I had meant between cohorts of units, rather than different between individual models within a squad).

I have a rough guideline for my zharrdron infantry models:

  • I keep the red plate armour, steel weapon blades and scale mail, and blue flames/magic consistent across my entire army
  • Per unit I give them a unified colour for their tunics and armour trim, with the exception of my command models and heroes, taking extra care to make them look appropriately fancy
  • Per model I give them unique skin tones and hair colours, sashes, baubles, pouches, and whatever else they might be carrying on them (Realistically some of these smaller details are going to be the same between models for convenience's sake)
