I mix yellow with different browns to get darker tones, and yellow with bleached bone for highlights. But there is probably tons of other possibilities.

I'd go from Snakebite (Cobra) Leather through Bubonic Brown and then various yellows, to Bleached Bone.

Well I am still working on the models. And they are a way behind the skill of painting that is displayed here on this forum. :oops: But I am also constructing a complete army.


The army is based in the mountains so that is why the dark grey stones.

Some models where I am working on at the moment.

The hats need to be painted then dark yellow.

Any comments?
