    Hello all,

    I am a new member to this forum; by the way it is fantastic! I am about to take the plunge into Seraphon and I was hoping to see if you could advise me on a paint scheme. I found this on the GW website, right when you click Seraphon it comes up. I have attached it to the file. Thank you and I hope to hear from y'all soon!

    Welcome!
    I am not the gretest painter and I mostly do not use GW colors, but my best guess is this, based on similar stuff from the app.


    purple:
    base Naggaroth Night, shade Druchii Violet, layer Xereus Purple, highlight Genestealer Purple. Perhaps some extreme highlights with Emperor's Children

    white:
    base Celestra Grey, layer Ulthuan Grey, shade... hard to tell. Seraphim Sepia I think, highlight White Scar

    blue:
    base Stegadon Scale Green, shade CoeliaGreenshade, (layer Sotek green), highlight Temple Guard blue

    gold:
    base Retributor Armour, shade Reikland Fleshshade, (layer Auric Armour Gold), highlight Liberator Gold



    Check out the Citadel painting app for your smart phone. It is really helpful with such things, at least as a starting point.

    As far as I can tell, the Saurus and the Skinks are just the basic Seraphon colour scheme they give you the guide to on the app (under Saurus Warrior) but with Mephiston Red and the highlights that go with it (sorry, I'm not good at painting beyond base layer) for the warpaint. As for the Warbeasts, you want to follow this video:

    Oh, wow. That is quite a bit better than my suggestion for the purple and white I think.
    Good find, @ravagekitteh I forgot that video existed.
