Hi there Dakka

Looking at my unpainted skinks and deciding it's time to buy some paints, I wanted to ask what I should get! I want to match the original scheme (e.g. the skinks in this picture). These would be my first paint jobs though so I'd rather not go with 8 different colours and layers. I'm thinking like, 2 or 3; keeping things relatively easy for me.

I did look at the Lizardman White Dwarf's guide but it basically suggested using 6 different greens, none of which looked remotely like the blue I'm after.

Let me know what you guys recommend. Thanks for any advice, hey

EDIT: I'd prefer to stick with Citadel stuff if I could, thanks

I ended up just buying a bunch of paints and will try for the best. Will post my progress on my blog post which I have been ignoring when they all arrive.
