Though I tested the colors with Blood Red for the cloth, I wasn't happy with the appearance and switched to purple. My original concern with purple was that the models would come out looking like Minnesota Viking* fans , but that fear appears to be unfounded. :-)
Colors
Armor: Burnished Gold
Weapons: Bestial Brown, Boltgun Metal
Tunic: Vallejo Game Color Liche Purple**
Capes: Scab Red
Boots and Shield Inset: Bestial Brown
Pants and Sleeves: Delta Ceramcoat Charcoal
They may not look like much right now, but the dip (Army Painter Medium) will sort them out nicely. There are a few details left to hit (mostly on the banner), but they will be dipped on Sunday and Dullcoted on Monday. Then its on to the Morannons!
I think I'm right on schedule to have this project wrapped up by March 1st.
*I'm actually a Minnesota Vikings fan, but my customer does not necessarily share my affinity
**This color took two coats to pull off and its still dark. A good argument against priming black, IMO. The first coat was my standard dillution of 1:1 and was so dark it was almost indistinguishable from the black undercoat.
