Just finished all the armor and now on to cloth bits! I used greenish white, deep yellow and dark Prussian blue (ak) over a purple undercoat.

Gonna necro this post so I can ask about your priming color selection.

Those purple/ blues aren't very apparent in the final model at first, but the colors you chose obviously do a lot of work in creating the look. How did you decide on that color scheme of priming?

I mentioned in another post some orc armies I wanted to paint, including a red-skinned "fire ork" army. I want to avoid just priming them in a color that makes up most of the model to get some more depth like I see in your final products. My first guess would be to shoot some dark purple/blue from below and use a yellow from above? Does that sound similar to how you would approach that color scheme, or am I way off base?

What's the purpose of the purple tinted primer? By the final model in the middle it looks like not too much is actually purple. Just wondering what the use is. Genuinely curious.

Good question. Im using it as the deepest shadow color. On the finished one I covered up too much of the purple for my liking but some of it is still present.

The other models still have purple in the armor. I definitely got the feel for this paint scheme the more I did it.

But ya, most of it gets covered.

Oh, these are really exciting! Good work! I love the color combination
