I like the color of Eomers armor both on his chest and the armor of his horse which are the same color.
Can anyone tell me what's paint(s) to use to get the same color as the one games workshop has?
Thanks in advance

If it's the red armour of which you speak, then start with a scab red as a base coat and lighten with blood red until pure. Something like a blazing orange to blood red will create the highlights at the highest points. You can even go to pure blazing orange if you wish.
Devlan mud can be great for creating the shading in the darkest areas.
I'm sorry I don't know the colours for the new paints but I hope this gives you the idea.

I do suggest you google images of him though. The GW version and pics that many people have gotten used to have his armor MUCH more red than it was in the movie. I know that colors are toned down on film itself, but even looking at production stills I don't think his armor is that bright. Scab red, shaded with Mud and then highlighted again with Scab Red (and MAYBE one more highlight color on the absolute edges) is more of what I see.

But TBH the brighter color pallets are preferred by many in the gaming community so it's a matter of personal taste.
