I was wondering if anyone had a program or something to plan out the colors for a model. When I first started in 40k, I used the old Dawn of War army painter to get the basic feel for how I wanted to pain tmy models. Is there anything close for WMH?

Wouldn't the closest thing be using the same thing you did before? Does it matter that the colours are on a space marine? I would think you can just imagine that he is a Manowar.

This is an interesting idea, but the question is what model to use? The GW version basically just had the one space marine to my knowledge, but I don't think that Warmahordes has that single ubiquitous model the way 40K does.

I used photoshop for 40k. You basically turn the model to greyscale, add a new layer for every color, use the polygonal lasso tool to block in the area you want to color on its layer (IE make a 'red' layer and block in every spot that will be red), then fill that space with that color. Then you just set the layer blending properties (drop-down next to opacity) to whatever lets you see the detail but retains the right color range (subtract looks best imo). The end result (with some colors added) would look something like this, which was from the stock PP Stormwall picture:

Damn! That is impressive! I fear if I did that I would be upset that my paint job does not look anything like my OWN colour scheme guide! Great tech tho.
