I did my Arnor warriors (conversions from plastic Warriors of Minas Tirith) in a purple and white colour scheme with off-white cloaks.

He didn't ask that though, he wanted to know the official colour scheme 8)

Starting with the cloth a base of Caliban Green is a definite. For the highlights the closest match to the old Snot Green is Warpstone Glow. With washes you'd be best off with Biel- tan Green.

Do your armour as standard. Personally I go with a base of Ironbreaker, wash of Nuln Oil, then either Ironbreaker again or Runefang Steel.

The helmet-wrap thingy... hm. Camo Green base, equivalent now being Elysian Green and I think either Tallarn Sand or Zandri Dust for the yellowy parts.

The spear shaft, perhaps a base of Steel Legion Drab and work up to Karak Stone? I'm not entirely sure, will have to look up that one tonight, but hopefully this will give you some ideas.

Really? Doesn't look like camo green/elysian green to me... more like the new straken green for the top highlight and then a mix of straken green + castellian green for the base coat

All I bought was Caliban Green, money's tight atm. I've also got old Scorpion Green and old Goblin Green too. Should I use them or just mix Caliban with White/Bleached Bone?
