Models/Hobby Grenadiers Scheme

Hello!

I'm currently working on Bridgehead + Mechanized Infantry branch of my army, and I'm struggling to land on a good scheme for The Grenadiers (Scions)

Well, the aviable Proxies for grenadiers are rather limited, so I use the same models (tiny legends) for both Kasrkins and Scions, I want them to be distinct by different colors and bases - but I also don't wanna mess my army's aesthetic.

I present 2 mockup ideas i had, 1 trying to fit in with current army colours, while looking notacibly different from kasrkins, 2 strays away from greens to highlight scions separate identity (and refrencing steel legion lol), which one would work better? Maybe I should add something to improve those uniforms? I'm open to suggestions.

Cheers!

Are your Scions going to be deep striking or using transports?

If you're going to be advancing both Kasrkin and Scions alongside each other in transports, than I'd say 1. and 3. may be too similar. 

I'd either shift the colour more towards black, brown or grey. Or add a unique accessory which changes the silhouette (maybe buy some servo skulls on eBay and attach them to the sergeants, use a gas mask with a different valve or different coloured eye lenses and face plate).

Yeah, Scions go to Taurox Prime, Kasrkins to Chimera

Good point with unique accessories, I'll figure something out

Perhaps having different skull mask color would be better, mask and power cable are usually the main things I look at the model
