Hey guys,

I need some of the crazy dakkaskills of some people here, to help me about some paint

The question is about the following picture:

What are the colors used for the jacket of the third mordian, upper row?

And what are the colors used for the uniform of the fourth mordian, upper row? (main colour, and this outlining Tron-ish light blue)

edit: and final question, what colors are used to make their "epaulettes"?

edit2: edited for clarification

**Mikalichou**

No one? :/

**King Crow**

im not to experienced with blue. the best thing you can do is go to the gw site, look in the paints section and try to compare. i think its ultramarines blue on the pants and then maybe regal blue with with ultramarines blue highlighted for the shirt

**Mikalichou**

Oh, when I said "first line", I meant "upper row", sorry :/

Precisely, the one with white gloves, and the one who looks like an angry Star Wars Empire Officer ^^

**King Crow**

the shirt looks like the same color still

**Mikalichou**

Don't know, seems like the "white trousers guy" has a slightly darker shirt, and the "full Death Star Officer" an even darker one

Maybe they are mixes, but I know GW tend to use basic colors for their selling previews

**Leigen_Zero**

The epaulettes are usually built up from an orange to a warm yellow, as for the death star looking guy go with a dark grey.

On mr whitetrousers, blue seems to be done by going from a dark blue and highlighted up with blue-greys.

**Lonecoon**

I dunno what the GW color is, but it looks like the Reaper color "Worn Navy" with "Heather Blue" dry brushing.

**Gavin Thorne**

Maybe Midnight blue as a base, highlighted up with ultramarine/midnight mixed...

The epaulettes look like they were basecoated with a sunburst yellow and treated with yellow or orange ink. Aren't these Mordians circa mid-to-late 2nd edition? At that time, inks were very popular

**King Crow**

Above all, if i were you id just make my own color scheme.

**Ensis Ferrae**

first guy, to me, looks like regal blue jacket, with UM blue pants. the other guy, kinda looks like Fenris Grey, or a "lightened" Necron Abyss.

The epaulets look to be done with Iyanden Darksun, with perhaps some of the darker normal yellow highlights (cant remember the name)

**Melonfish**

I did Mordian way back in the day, I did the white pants/gloves and blue tunic scheme, I used regal blue for mine, they turned out really good tbh
epaulettes were done in golden yellow with a blazing orange/yellow wash or using the old yellow ink
now i'd prolly start with a darker yellow like iyandan then work up to golden

**Mikalichou**

Ok, that's exactly the info I was searching for

Thanks guys
