I've been posting my dark elf harlequin inspired blood bowl team, and your suggestions have been very helpful. Here's what I've learned about myself as a painter:

• Come up with 1 thing that ties the team together and 1 thing that sets the individual apart. For my team, I chose purple and black as the common color, but let myself play with the color of the diamond pattern.
• Painting models individually is fun. I usually batch paint, but once you have your team colors set, you can bang those out and focus on what makes the individual player unique. I can get a single model done in a week, which is more enjoyable for me than having the whole team done in a shorter amount of time.
• Schemes evolve. If you look at my posts, I was very indecisive about the direction I wanted my color scheme to go, but that's ok! I've learned from each model, and actually planned my model painting order to account for things that I wasn't sure about. Paint a lineman and then see what happens. If you think he has too many colors, paint an assasin to see what a more muted pallete would look like. It's all a process.
