hi,
I myself painted one warband of militia and nearly two warbands of mirkwood elves check my wip to see how they turned out. For the militia I used random colours since that's just how they look with mostly using red, blue and brown colours. For Mirkwood I do have a strict colour scheme here it is:
the golden armour:
begin with: sycorax bronze
shade with: agrax eartshade
layer with: hashut copper
finaly layer it with ghenna's gold
and for the silver parts on it use runefang steel at the end.
red cloth:
begin with: khorne red (on al the red parts)
shade with: carroburg crimson (on al the red parts)
then for the more darker red parts on the arm shade with nuln oil over it agian to make it dark red/purple and then it is done for that red part.
then paint over the lighter red part khorne red agian
then highlight that part with wazdakka red.
Cape, gloves and boots:
begin with: dryad bark
shade with agrax earthshade
then layer it with dryad bark
go over it with Gorthor Brown
and finaly highlight it with Baneblade brown
the bows, arrows and spear:
begin with baneblade brown
layer with karak stone
highlight ushabti bone
his thing over its pants I dont know it's name
begin with caliban green
shade agrax earthshade
layer gorthor brown
I believe thats it for mirkwood
here are some colour schemes for the lake-town militia:
blue:
begin with dawnstone
then layer that withadministratum grey
and layer that agian withfenrisian grey
shade drakenhof nightshade
highlight with fenrisian grey
leather:
start with dryad bark
then use the nuln oil shade
layer with dryad bark and highlight with gorthor brown
red:
begin with khorne red
then shade it with carroburg chrimson
layer with khorne red
and finnaly highlight with wazdakka red
I hope you now have a bit of an idea of how it looks like a bit and enjoy your awesome BOFA mini's!
