The Ravagers Begin

I will soon tackle my first unit for Hordes - my Tharn Ravagers plus the Shaman. I'm debating laying Kromac's skin tone at the same time, at very least, but we'll see. But the scheme I intend to use is as follows:

1. Skin Tones - pale and unsavory will be the trick. I'm considering a basecoat of 50/50 RMS Tanned Flesh and RMS Grey Liner. Wash with a mix of the basecoat plus a little RMS Brown Liner. Highlight back up with base coat + adding more Tanned Flesh at each level. Eventually add RMS Linen White for the final layers. Eyes - consider WarpWolf eyes - dead black eyes with a white pip in the middle. Mouth/teeth - same as WarpWolf.
2. Clothing layers - P3 Thamar Black, highlighted up with VMC Black Grey, final highlights mix in a little P3 Trollblood Highlight. Smaller cloth layers - consider a complimentary color - e.g. P3 Coal Black/VMC Cork Brown mix like the WarpWolf skin.
   
3. Weapons - VMC Hammered Copper base with progressive highlights of VMC Hammered Copper + VGC Oiled Steel to pure VGC Oiled Steel. Highlight with VGC Oiled Steel + RMS Honed Steel. Wash with watered down layers of Black Ghost Wash or P3 Armor Wash. Highlight with RMS Honed Steel.
4. Leathers – GW Scorched Brown washed with P3 Armor Wash. Highlight with GW Scorched Brown. Fine highlights with GW Snakebite Leather or Bestial Brown.
5. Dead trophies - decide as I go, but some will use VGC Dead Flesh instead of Tanned Flesh, but use the same method for the skin tones.
6. Turquoise - any crystals or runes should be treated like the crystal from the WoldWatcher. Base in GW Turqoiuse, darken upper area by mixing in Blue Ghost wash, lighten the lower area with P3 Morrow White. Dot of pure P3 Morrow White opposite the lower highlight.
   

Hopefully this works out and looks good. Nice thing is, I can always change my mind along the way. Neat huh?
