Archer unit colour scheme test mini

So not been so good this last day or two and decided to cheer myself up with a bit of hobby. With my archers unit built and a lot of the core colours on them, I decided to test my colour scheme on one of the minis. I am a big believer in this as too often I have done batch painting only to find I didn’t like them in the end but had invested too much time into them to change.

The initial idea was to do a purple and black but as I put more of the colours on I really liked a more grey contrast.

Colours used

Leather

Mournfang Brown (base) – Agrax Earthsahde (wash) – Skrag Brown (layer) – Skrag Brown with a little White Scar (highlight)

Metals

Leadbelcher (base) – Nuln Oil (wash) – Leadbelcher (layer) – Stormhost Silver (highlight)

Uniform

Naggaroth Night (base) – Xereus Purple (layer) – Genestealer Purple (layer) – Genestealer Purple with a mix of White Scar (highlight)

Dawnstone (base) – Nuln Oil just in the recesses/shadows (wash) – Dawnstone (layer) – Dawnstone with a mix of White Scar (highlight)

 

Really pleased with how it has turned out and the changes during the process proved to me yet again that a test mini is always a good way to go. Now I need to apply this to the rest of the unit and decide on the stone colour for the bases and movement trays.

Have a good day everyone.

Hope you are feeling better soon. I do like that purple and I think they will be very striking when shown amass.
