Took me forever to remember where I saw this. Back on the Privateer Press forums I found a really nice paint scheme for the Druids of Orboros that used green undertones instead of blue undertones for their blackclad robes. Only, I couldn't remember the colors used. I finally found the guy's post, so here's how he painted their robes so I don't forget how to do it yet again...
Base Coat: Thamar Black
Highlight: Battledress Green
Trim (optional): Moldy Ochre

Khador Red Recipe
Paint Scheme: KHADOR RED
I think I've finally settled on what will be my "official" set of red colors for Julia's Khador forces. While the one detailed in her FoW: Khador book is nice, I think it's a little too bright (and very time consuming). Color scheme is as follows:
1) Base coat of GW Foundation: Mechrite Red.
2) Lighten with GW Red Gore + Mixing Medium.
3) Lighten further with PP Khador Red Base + Mixing Medium.
4) Highlight with PP Khador Red Base + Khador Red Highlight + Mixing Medium.
5) Extreme highlights should be done with Khador Red Highlight. Glaze with Red Ink if necessary.
An additional step using GW Blood Red + Mixing Medium can be used between steps 2 & 3, but likely isn't needed.
Multiple thin coats will be necessary with each step to blend properly. For deep shading, PP Sanguine Red should do nicely, possibly with a slight touch of PP Exile Blue or Umbral Umber, depending on look.
