Topic: Harlequins colour schemes

[Scars]

i am planning to write a article for Eldar online about me planning and painting my harlequin army and while i was reading through the fluff somthing struck a chord with me. Here is my rant-

Harlequins are dancers. They wear costumes to make them look like the part that they play so why does every model in the harlequin army have the same colour scheme. The way I see it this is going to be my colour scheme-
great harlequin-
orange, very light blue, very light purple
shadow seer-
same as great harlequin
harlequins-
same as above.
my first note is, that in the discription of the shadowseer in the harlequin section is wrong, (s)he does not play a part in the dances, (s)he does all the effects so over all a shadowseer can be painted what ever way yuo want to paint it.

Now death jesters play death so they will have the whole black and white thing going. This is done and always will be done.

Mimes, this is where people will disagre with me- mimes should be painting in blacks and purples. Why? i hear you scream. Because they play slaanesh's demons. the way i see it each chaos god has a colour, slaanesh's is purple and black is the whole chaos thing.

The solitire (I can never spell that word grrr) should be VERY dark. he is slaanesh, in the dance he wont be all bright like the laughing god would he?

So this is how I am going to paint my army and you will get the submission soon (once I finish taking pictures and painting, it will be a small multi part thing)

So what do you think??

play some really happy music whilst you are painting your harliquins and gh etc. and play something morbid whilst you are painting your solitare and death jesters you could do a whole light and dark thing for your army dunno just go crazy with the places that the colours shold go so yeah

I recommend Daft Punk "The Discovery" for harlie painting

Like the scheme going along with fluff idea,
beck   or HAIR(the soundtrack) would turn up some interesting painted figs.

what if people (when they turned in How To Paint articles) included the music they listened too, harharhar
... nevermind

i lisen to marilyn manson or amen while i paint. i dont really have any happy music. i've kinda figured out my fluff and jusifed why i should have a solitire-
ariham (chaos special character- cant spell) is looking for Czeck (guy who got into black libary- cant spell) so he can get into the black libary and become a new chaos god. Oviously the laughing god would not want this to happen so he sends a host after him. since this is very important i think that a solitire would come along.
