Hello!
I have recently ordered a Circle of Orboros warpack in an attempt to get started into the Warmachine/Hordes game. Although i have a few questions about colorschemes and such for my circle models.

Heres what im looking for for my basic coloscheme:
1) The Metals Plates that Adorn all the models: Black in the recesses and a dark silverery metal outlineing the outside.
2) The Arguses? Argi? and Warpwolf: I am kinda looking for a darker-greyish-brown colorscheme. Could you guys help me out with how I could acheive this? Kinda like these:
     
3) For the bases... I was thinking along the lines of a pine forest in the midst of winter. so a little snow on the bases? perhaps a fallen pine tree and maybe even a frozen creek running between the warpwolfs legs.
would these ideas make sense acording to the Orboros background? Ima kinda going with a darker theme. I would prefer to use citadel paints if possible.

Thanks in advance - The hound.

Theme sounds good. They are druids, so the bases would work too.

P.S. The Circle are schemers and are even rumoured to make human sacrifices, so a dark theme works I reckon

Unlike wolves, the argus and warpwolf have a shaggy long haired mane on top and short hair everywhere else. If you want something similiar to timber wolves, then maybe paint the shaggier parts grey-ish and the shorter haired parts a light brown fading to white in the under belly. The grey parts could have brown tips much like a timber wolves or the edges that meat with the short hair could be more of a brown. Overall I think it'd be hard to really duplicate a natural wolf look on the orboros dogs and have it look good.

Good luck!
