Consistency, consistency, consistency - Cygnar military scheme

I like to keep track of stuff. I know I don't post a lot of pictures; none lately, in fact. But ultimately, I come back to this blog time and time again EVERY time I start a painting project. With no further ado, my scheme template for my Cygnar from here on out. It all gets used somewhere, more than likely.

[main color]:[shadow]:[highlight]

Military Green
[P3 Traitor Green]:[GW Badab Black or Devlan Mud]:[Base + RMS Leather White]

Military Gray
[P3 Ironhull Gray + Morrow White]:[GW Badab Black]:[Base + more white]

Military Brown
[VGC Charred Brown]:[GW Devlan Mud]:[Base + RMS Leather White]

Leathers
[VGC Beasty Brown]:[GW Devlan Mud]:[Base + RMS Leather White]

Armor/Machine bits direct
[VGC Gunmetal Metal]:[GW Badab Black]:[Base + RMS Honed Steel]

Armor/Machine dry brushed
[RMS Honed Steel]:[none]:[RMS Polished Silver]

Gold direct
[VGC Tinny Tin + VMC Brass]:[GW Devlan Mud]:[Base + more brass]

Gold dry brushed
[VGC Tinny Tin + VMC Brass]:[none]:[Base + more brass]

Blue accent
[P3 Cygnar Blue Highlight]:[GW Asurmen Blue]:[Base + P3 Morrow White]

And that's it... hair and skin is extra, and done on a model-by-model basis, using some basic skin tone recipe. This will keep things nice and documented for me.

Something's gotta give...

I gotta get this painter's block cleared and start pumping out models in a quickness. Here is an option for a 35pt paint-and-play list; includes a couple painted models, and a bunch of unpainted.

Commander Coleman Stryker (-6pts)
^Lancer (6pts)
^Ol' Rowdy (9pts)
^Squire (2pts)
Stormblade Infantry (Leader and 5 Grunts) (5pts)
Stormblade Infantry Officer & Standard (3pts)
^^Stormclad (10pts)
Captain Arlan Strangewayes (2pts)
Journeyman Warcaster (3pts)
Stormsmith Stormcaller (1pts)

Stryker, Lancer, Stormsmith, and Junior are painted; stormblades are WIP... the rest should be fun though, given my new Cygnar scheme I'm developing. Let's see what happens... see if I can get inspired to keep going after I finish my Defender.
