Kharn's lizardmen

I really want to do orange lizards, but am having trouble deciding scale and crest color. Any suggestions?

 

Orange, great color choice! ^^

I painted my scales blue/turqouise and the crests( skink ones) red, as can be seen here:


I suggest you visit this site: Color Scheme Designer. Where you can choose your primary color and see what match. Maybe this could be a good look?

 

Hmmmm perhaps blazing orange, scab red, and golden yellow, or blazing orange, black, and scab red. (I'd like to see how black crests look). I'll have a model posted in a few days, since I will be on vacation for a few more days

 

Mine are orange. The color of a dart frog. (orange with blue legs) See avatar and link below. I kept the crests blue due to lore. The fact that they said skinks have blue crests and red crests for important ones. I felt it was important to keep that.

 

If you don't mind me asking, what color blue did you use totzro?

 

You know black goes very well with orange I would give that a try.

My recipe for blue is as follow:

(I prime my models white, makes the color brighter and stands out more imo)

-Basecoat of Enchanted Blue
-Heavy wash of Asurmen Blue
-Highlighting/Drybrushing with Hawk Turqoise
-Highlight/Dtybrushing with Ice Blue
-Final Highlights with Skull White (very fine)
-Sometimes a final glaze of Gulliman Blue

And in new colors that would be:

Regal Blue = Kantor Blue
Asurmen Blue = Drakenhof Nightshade (how am I suposed to tell that that's blue?)
Hawk Turqoise = Sotek Green (hmm shouldn't sotek have a, hmm maybe, a RED color...)
Ice Blue = Lothern Blue
Skulle White = White Scar

Bear in mind though that I've no experience with the new colors and the result may differ.

Hope I've been to some help

 

You have thanks I'll paint up a handful of test models

 

Hi, can i ask how you did your orange. It looks really bright and would like to try something similar on Bretonnian Lord
