I am working on a color scheme for my army and I am tired of buying new paint and stripping test models (I just am not finding something I like)

I was wondering if anyone had some pics of models that had any of these color combinations layers (or something similer) so I could see what they look like. I know it is a long shot but it would be a real time am money saver for me.

1. Primed white, washed sepia, drybrushed white, bloodletter (or red) glaze

or

2. Primed white, washed sepia, drybrushed white, fuegan orange wash

or

3. Primed white, washed sepia, drybrushed white, Reikland Fleshshade wash

Or any use of Reikland Fleshshade wash or fuegan orange wash over white.

Thanks for your help!

Well, first things first; what kind of models are you painting?

If you have some of said models, just try one of each. If you don't like any of them, strip them of just paint over it. Failing that, go to eBay and buy a bunch of the AoBR (if you are painting marines or orks, I suppose) minis for cheap just to use for testing purposes

They are tyranids. I have an idea of a green and orange color scheme but I can't get the tones just right. So I was hoping to get some pictures of other models painted with these colors to get an idea of the tones they create. I have a number of models I can paint up and have painted up about 6 so far trying out differnet combinations (I will just strip them when I am done. But if I could see some pictures it would save me the money of buying more paints that I will not use.
