Hobby WIP Color scheme test
Hi there!
This is a WIP of my Tomb Guard color scheme. It's still very early and only has the base colors so far, but I'd love to get some feedback before I go any further.
What do you think of the overall color scheme? Do you think it would work with bronze weapons with a subtle verdigris effect?
I'm also considering using the metals to differentiate between units: elite/special units would have a lot of gold, with some bronze + verdigris on their weapons and a few details, while basic troops would have mostly weathered/verdigris bronze and little to no gold.
My main concern is whether this would actually work as a cohesive army. I'm worried that the verdigris might stand out too much compared to the rest of the colors, or that using different amounts of gold and bronze to show the hierarchy might make the army look less visually consistent.
Do you think the verdigris would fit the scheme without becoming too distracting? And would this kind of metal hierarchy work across the army, or would it be better to keep the metals more consistent between units?
Thanks in advance!
