Long story short, I'm trying to think up ideas for an orange army.
Here's the long story:
I have a lot of projects in various stages of half-finished, or ideas that haven't yet been started. I don't like to paint the same colors over and over again, so I try to spread out the paint scheme and theme of each army to avoid repetition. I have a general list of things I'd like to paint that will probably take me another 20 years to complete. When making my list, I started to notice a lot of black and red schemes, so I started to lay out my potential projects on the color wheel to try to spread them out, but discovered a gap - Orange.
Here is my lists of possible future projects, some of which have already been started:
Silver/Red - Grey Knights
Black/Red - Inquisitorial Henchmen
Blue/Crimson - Crimson Fists
Red/Black - Blood Angels
Yellow/Brown - Tau
Yellow - Lamenters?
Dark Green - Dark Angels
Military Green - Cadian Imperial Guard
Blue-Green/Gold - Dark Eldar
Black/Bone - Ulthwe Eldar
Purple/Blue - Tzeentch/Slaanesh Chaos
The question is, what should be Orange? I think I have enough Marine forces on this list already. Really, only Tyranids, Necrons, and Orks aren't represented. Not sure if I really want to do any of those three, and I am also really interested in doing Ulthwe, so I'm not sure Yme-Loc or Lugganath are options.
So, my question for you is to toss any orange armies you can think of my way from a fluff/background perspective, or tell me why Orange would be better than something already on this list, except for the Tau and Dark Eldar which are already started.
