I would like to paint Ahriman as he is seen in this picture, with that darker color scheme. Although I have a few ideas for the colors, I'd appreciate it if anyone could give me some advice on what to do and what colors to use to achieve a scheme like that.

That would be sexy. I can't give you GW colours as I don't use them, but the start would be dark blue or grey for the robes, and the usual bone/brown for the boney bits. Probably a decent brass/old gold for the metals.

Blend up from your dark blue or grey to a lighter version. It'd b e a sick one to pull off.

I like the idea of the robes being a deep dark blue, but what color would the armor plates like the shoulders and the non-metallic bits on the chestplate be? Would the model look too monochromatic if both the robes and the armor is dark blue?

**Desubot**

It seems to be greyish blue and bone.

**Aetare**

I'd start with something along the lines of Astronomican Gray for that bluish grey look.

**TapedTempest**

The robe has two layers, so it seems like the bottom layer is grey and the top layer is a very dark blue, but the shoulder plates are also dark blue (I think).

**Desubot**

Im pretty sure its the standard color scheme blue white and gold/brass but the picture has been made moody by toning everything down.

so just take the standard color scheme, tone down EVERYTHING.
