Morning all,

Looking for some suggestions, Last night I painted my Saurus blockers using Contrast paint and, Unfortunately, I used Leviadon blue instead of a lighter shade to give them a better detail and they have set much darker than anticipated . However, I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on good colours to potentially go with the darkness of the models for the shell armour and metal parts of the models?

So I did the same thing on my AT scale knights, they were all out of the lighter blues like Talassar so I used leviadon without thinning it too much and now my knights look much darker than expected. I would go with gold, and not a dark gold but a reddish one that you then highlight to look very bright. Bone would also look appropriate if you want your Saurus to look like they have stone armor.
