Saga: AoH Celtiberians
Paint scheme choices
Here are the choices for the colour scheme. The rear row are the base tone ands the front row the matching highlight. I’m planning on leaving a lot of the linen colour that I have from my air brushed zenith primer. These colours will feature as stripes over the linen. I’m hoping for a celt-ish look that fits with the Iberian aesthetic.
This is based partly on wanting to be different from my Gauls who are primary red, green and blue colours. This time I’ve based the scheme on some shades of madder, the red dye which was widely grown across the Celtic world. Here are some modern swatches showing colour variants, I’m interested in the lighter tones as I see these as representing the sun bleaching effect of the hotter Iberian climate.
