I just got the 10th edition starter set with around 30 Tyranids and 11 Space Marines. I’m looking for ideas on what colors to paint my Space Marines besides blue, as I really want to choose a different chapter. I’m not sure if certain colors require specific models for that chapter in the game, though. Any suggestions?

You can paint your Space Marines any color you want! It’s totally up to you—there are no strict rules on color schemes. So feel free to go for something unique like pink or green, even if that means going against traditional chapters. The most important thing is that you enjoy painting them the way YOU want!
Absolutely! Your models, your style!
Paint them in any color you fancy! Most Space Marines can be painted as almost any chapter. Just ensure you keep in mind any exceptions for specific characters, that’s all. Have fun!
Just a heads up: while you can choose any color scheme, some chapters have specific rules that you might want to consider if you plan to play competitively. Still, painting them however you like doesn’t affect gameplay—paint your models to express your creativity!
Good point! But again, it’s your choice—choose colors that you think look cool!
Right! You can still use the rules of a chapter regardless of how they’re painted. Just enjoy the hobby!
Maybe consider something like Imperial Fists in yellow? Just remember, yellow can be tricky to get right, but they look great when finished!
True, but yellow can be a real pain for beginners. I’d recommend starting with something easier if you’re new to painting!
Exactly! Just have fun with it and don’t stress about sticking to chapter specifics.
