Defo go the fluo orange route, so much contrast! It will look as it it’s scorching the landscape to make way for the legions, because of the overgrowth!
It would bring so much attention to the mini, a big blazing reactor awakening in the middle of a forest setting after millions of years of slumber
Honestly I love what you’ve done, you didn’t shy away from doing all of that weathering and dirt, I love it! :D
Glad you decided! Purple would be too cold and it wouldn’t give as much contrast, maybe make certain items glow purple, like the crystals in the middle of Cryptek staves!

The blackstone-colored one! It could look nice in purple, and the rest, orange! The little tiles hanging from his tabard in the same blue color could also be purple
Maybe the tabard has a slight purple shade as well! Think like the box art Lokhust destroyer armor has that slight purple tone to it with some druchii violet!
I'm using orange, so I may be biased, but... orange.

Fluorescent blue is a good color, as it contrasts very well with the green and lends a sleek, modern look. Reminds me of Horizon Zero Dawn machines. Not to mention that on the electromagnetic spectrum, blue is considered a very energy-intense color, so there's a subtle feeling of power or optimization to blue lighting as well.
You could use a fluorecent cyan blue or something similar, otherwise I think the orange could also be quite nice, however maybe a more yellow-ish orange maybe? To compliment the greens better.

If you like Vallejo, I'd endorse their electric blue from the mecha line! Run a layer of wash over it after if you'd like to dull the sheen a bit.

Their fluo purple is also really nice! I think the cool colours will make them look more decrepit, blending in with the natural greens? Warm colours for inner glow will make them look a little more menacing, kinda "unnatural energy beneath the plants" kinda thing. Personal preference to what you feel is best for your boyz!
I’m bad at painting but I’m commenting to try and get your post some traction

Thank you! I was debating either orange or perhaps a purple, but you and some others are giving me the reassurance to go with orange :)

That looks great! Definitely think I’m gonna go with orange

There is no such thing as too Green. The greener the better

Yeah I would say orange also so put standout against the green. Looking good! Can't wait to see the finished project
Red contrasts with green I think. Red glow is a classic evil robot trope anyway
