I'm looking for some help in picking a desert camo scheme. I'm looking to use GW paints and have a basecoat, a highlight, a shade and a contrast colour. My first thought is a dunkelgelb kind of yellow with tan as a body armour/boots contrast colour. Happy to hear any suggestions, or if you have any good pics or links, I'd love to see those too. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566071/6303019.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566071/6303019.page GMT


The basecolor is Vallejo MIddlestone washed with Argax Earthshade. The splotches are Vallejo Reflective Green and Vallejo Chocolate Brown, with stipples of the same Middlestone inside. For a desert pattern, you could substitute the Reflective Green with a light brown.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566071/6303272.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566071/6303272.page GMT
I was going to try to just stay with GW paints. One thing I don't like about the way the new paints are sold is that I don't see the straight relation between all the colours. Example, this is your base desert yellow, here's a highlight.

Your camo scheme looks great, but, I'd go crazy doing that on an IG army ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566071/6303635.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566071/6303635.page GMT
Honestly, the camo pattern above isn't that time consuming. You can even buy the Middlestone in spray (Army Painter), wash Argax Earthshade and then use a stippling brush to paint on blotches. Inside each blotch, put 3 little dots of Middlestone.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566071/6303652.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566071/6303652.page GMT
