I really enjoy the scheme on this warjack, but i don't own any p3 paint.
If someone could tell me which gw colours would create the same scheme i would be quite grateful.

This will help a little.

Every time I hear "in my opinion" or "just my opinion" makes me want to strangle a puppy. People use their opinions as a shield that other poeple can't critisize and that is bs.

If you can't defend or won't defend your opinion then that "opinion" is bs. Stop trying to tip-toe and defend what you believe in.

My Khador scheme is very similar to the one you pictured, perhaps a touch more brown.



I used Vallejo colors for mine but I do happen to have a recipe that might work for you;

My basecoat is about a 1:1 mix of Scorched Brown and Graveyard Earth. It makes a kind of milk chocolate color. From there I keep adding a little bit of Graveyard Earth at a time. I try to go through all my browns at once just so I can keep working with the same batch and don't have to find the same spot in the "sequence" later. I'll do somewhere about 5 or 6 blends of the two colors before getting to pure Graveyard Earth. For the final highlighting/edging, I'll mix Graveyard Earth with a little bit of Kommando Khaki.

This came from a guy on the PP forums named "OldOneEye", my color scheme is based off of his, which is based off of the original 5th boarder scheme which is what the mini you posted a picture of is based off of....you follow all that? Either way it gives a place to start.

Thanks for the advice and sharing!

I started from a quite different eyeballed mix.
I'm not displeased with my efforts, they're nothing near the intended colour though.
Karchev is next and he'll be getting the advised colour scheme.
