Advice on a weird scheme idea?

[Psychosis]

Hey folks! Just looking for a bit of advice on both the application, and the idea itself.

I'm planning on trying a fairly dark purple carapace with bright green flesh. Think of the Joker in 'nid forum. Maybe even yellowing teeth and highlights. Im just not sure if it will work. I was playing with a color wheel when the idea struck me, and thus far its my favourite.

Just wondering what you guys think? I'll be applying it to a fairly large swarm, so id prefer only having to do it once. The only other purple and green i've seen are Michael Casavants, and that was 3rd edition, so at least its unique.

Sounds pretty interesting... You should test it on a gaunt to get a better picture of of the scheme. AND post a pic im curious to see it done up.

I'll see what I can do, my only problem is deciding on the exact color of green. It has to be fairly bright to work, but I don't want it to over power the carapace. Sounds like it might be more like 7 or 8 gaunts to get it right, but they'll be hard to notice with 160 gribblies on the table (plus what ever the 3 tervigons kick out). Good time to be a fluffy 'nid player.

You might even try an off-white skin washed with green, depending on how light you're going for.

Not sure if this is the kind of advice your after but I just thought I'd mention my colour schema.
I'm doing all of my different creature types a different colour, for example my hormagaunts are all green bodied and red carapaced, my warriors are red bodied with black carapace dotted with dark blue splotches, one trygon is red and green similar to the gaunts, another is red with black and yellow markings.
I'll have to put up a picture to show you later.
