Iv seen two variations in there color scheme. One with the red on the left of the torso one on the right. Is there a "correct" one, or is it simply a matter of personel preferance.

Devlan Mudx2
Machrite Red
Scab Red
Scab Red / Blood Red
Blood Red
Yellow
Iyandun Darksun
Gyphone Sepia
Iyandun Darksun

I'm using chestnut ink and magenta on mine. both the old oop ones. You could try P3's magenta and burnt sienna from liquitex for the chestnut (identical to the old GW chestnut according to another poster). I do the yellow first as it is easier to correct than the fickle red.
---Yellow---
Scorched brown base, even in the recesses.
Layer of Khemri brown, leaving scorched brown in the recesses.
-greater recess this time.
Iyanden Darksun
Iyanden Darksun + White for highlights.
---Red---
Black/Scab red mix of 1:1
Leave black in the deep crevices
Pure scab + (mix depending on how dark you want it. Don’t bother cleaning the
brush).
-This is a layer, not a highlight.
Pure scab for the next layer.
Scab plus blood red 1:1 mix
After this do a blood red highlight before the ink.
3 drops of magenta ink, 2 drops of chestnut ink.
-Smother the model
