And here is the question- i dont know what colors should i use :( Im sure that her cloack will be rather muted green- dark angels green mixed with catachan green and highlithed with rotting flesh or bleached bone.. but what will be good to this color ? I also think that golden hair will be good- golden yellow or firey orange highlithed with bubonic brown.. but what with other parts ? please help

use reddish browns. The red tone in it will go great with the green as a complementary contrast. Other than the reddish brown, you could use another shade of green too. Both green and brown will give a very natural looking scheme, so you might want to throw in another more vibrant color. I'd say add some red details if you are going to use these colors I suggested.

I think the natural looking scheme will look great on this mini, but I'm sure others will come up with maybe more vibrant schemes ;)

Im was thinking about the same, but im afraid that when i paint her in red and green she can start looking christamsy.. but maybe cavalry brown or dark flesh will be good ?

yup I was thinking about something like darkflesh. Or a brown with some red glazes to add a red shine to it. I don't think she'll look like she's celebrating christmas if you'd use catachan green with some redbrown ;)
