Warhammer Paint Schemes

I've been trying to come up with good paint schemes for the Jager & Atlas variants for the following paint schemes, but haven't been having good luck with them.

In fact, I've been down right disappointed with the way my "paint jobs" look like. I feel like as if it wasn't for the fact that I knew it was supposed to be Alpha Legion (ie Green/Blue), it wouldn't be noticeable. Hence, right now I have gone with Ultramarine colors since I found it easier.


If anyone has come up with some good post Horus Heresy Warhammer 40k paint schemes for the following 4 CSM, please let me know.

Alpha Legion
Death Guard
Emporer's Children
Iron Warriors

Thanks,
Subchaos

Someone told me in a match I had Ultramarine colors on my Atlas and it looked really cool. I knew it was a WH40k term, but don't know enough about it to know what constitutes their paint scheme. So it was just coincidence. I believe I used a light neon green, a bright strong blue and white, on that Atlas, with the default camo.

I'd love to do a Howling Griffons paint job. I'd buy an Atlas just to have it as big as possible.

Ultras use a deep blue main colour, with trim colours reflecting the company, so blue with white trim would denote the 1st company (all vets).

Blue with green (going from memory here) would denote the 4th or 5th company.

So if it was blue with both white and green trim, would denote a 4/5th company member who has earned veteran honours, or who might be on secondment from the 1st company.

Has anyone come up with good paint schemes for Warhammer Chaos Space Marines?

I can't wait till we get banners, battle honors and cool custom mech parts. I want to fancy up my mech like it was master crafted.

I'd be all over an ork camo pattern. The type that looks like it was painted on by a hyperactive child wielding the spray gun like it was a crayon.

Red all over for the speed boost, and yellow on the weapons, because everyone knows yellow makes things explode better.
