| Hi All, Brand new to both Warhammer and the board, felt I should start by saying I've read through several threads (the showcase armies / models are AWESOME) and am very excited to become a part of the community. I'd like my army's color scheme to mirror GW's Mandrakes (skin, hair, green flames, weapons, the works). Google and Youtube are surprisingly dry; if anyone happens to know of an article or could otherwise help me I'd really appreciate it! Thanks very much for your time | |

| Paint the green sigils first, with probably 3 layers of green gradually building up the highlights, then dry rush the skin over the top, then think about the hair and flames, again starting with a darker colour and dry brushing the lighter colours over the top to build up the depth of colour. | |

| Excellent, thank you very much! Have you by chance painted any using GW's color scheme? I'm curious about specifically which paints I will need to purchase. No worries if not, of course. I also am planning on purchasing a dual control airbrush which will hopefully help the runes and flames really pop! | |

| Sorry, I went with a colour scheme of my own that was similar, but using old paint colours. | |
