Free People colour schemes

So with the release of the Seraphon and the vivid new colour schemes what colour schemes do you think would suit an Empire army to make it more AoS'y?

That got me wondering what exactly is considered "AoSy"?

Hard to put into words but,to me at least everything seems brighter,sharper,nicer colour contrasts and schemes.All of which would have looked out of place in the Old World. The Warrior Priests photographed in the 1st Age of Sigmar book are a good example of the change.

I'm just trying to imagine how GW would paint state Troops etc in Age of Sigmar and then work something out for myself.

The Seraphon are a good example of how round bases and a new colour palette can breathe new life into an existing range and make it fit right into AoS.I'm thinking State Troops if painted in the right schemes would cross over into the AoS world rather well.

I know fashion always come around again (shudders at the thought of the 80s), but do we really think frilly pj's will be in vogue eons after the world that was exploded?  :icon_sad:

I'd worry the current range, bar the sigmarite stuff, won't really be included, sadly. Be great if it was though! We'd perhaps need to know more about the fluff to get a colour scheme. Sigmaron (is that Sigmar's city?) would seem to suit a very bright white/cream/blue/gold scheme, but I am sure there is room for absolutely anything.
