    Thanks Steve! It's been a while, but I'm sure I used Vallejo Mahogany brown for the base, Light brown for the highlights and Chocolate brown for the shadows. This doesn't give the exact shade I want but I always follow up with Citadel (Games Workshop) Seraphim Sepia shade/wash. The wash really deepens the colors and helps blend everything together. I use this shade all the time for bay and palomino horses. The Palomino just gets more highlighting done than the bay which is darker. Also, multiple washes will slowly darken the overall colors if necessary, especially for the bay.

    Hope this helps. Because I use a wet palette, I tend to start with a basic formula as mentioned above then bring in other colors that are on the palette to experiment. Using a wet palette lets me pretend I'm using oil paint, at least on the palette.:)

    Cheers,
    Ken

    Thanks Brock! Wish I had an answer for the tunic color. As I mentioned to Steve, i use a wet palette, so I started with a medium blue color and dragged in some other colors by trial and error trying to match a photo on the web. Since I probably wouldn't paint this uniform color much, I didn't keep track of the mix.
