New player wanting advice on a colour scheme - saurus knights

[Compo_S]

Hi,

I'm currently sitting with 3 squads of knights to paint. The riders will be the usual blue. But the mounts are proving difficult. Im after 3 distinct schemes. Im running carnos alongside these and intend to replicate each scheme with an accompanying carno.
Id quite like one scheme based on Blue the raptor from JP but can't seem to get it right so thought id turn to the hivemind. Can anyone help/suggest? Im a big fan on the gw contrast paints so bonus kudos for suggesting those.

I'm a fan of the classic Red/Black scales with cream coloured underbelly Carno look, could translate well to Cold Ones. Contrasts well with the blue of Saurus. Flesh Tearers Red, Black Templar and thinned down Skeleton Horde could work
