I shall be ordering her sometime in the next few days but I need to make an artistic decision on the colour scheme. I know that I'll be going for dark armour with tarnished gold or red details.

However, I haven't decided on the skin yet because I'm considering doing her with either black or red hair. If I do her with red hair then I'll do a pinky reddish skin (which, if done palid, could also look good for her anyway) but if I do her with black hair then I have more freedom to use other skin colours.

When I start painting her this'll be a WIP thread but untill then I'd more than welcome any discussion on colour schemes.

I think a pale skin tone would work with both TBH...the contrast would work well against the armour IMO...

By red, I mean a very dark red that's nearly black with some brighter red highlights.

And by dark armour I don't mean black. I mean very dark (as in a lot of chaos black with some boltgun metal mixed in, heavily inked with black ink and then given some purer metal highlights).

Sounds good, and very challenging...where did you order her from?

When I place the order, it'll probably be direct from Reaper's webshop. I find it easier than trying to order from local (British) importers who might be out of stock and generaly don't let you see preview pics beforehand either. I know I could use the Reaper site for previews and then order from elsewhere but I've found their delivery system to be very efficient (no missing mini's or anything).

let me know if you want me to order via paypal, happy to help! (I might buy one too then)

I, erm, blatantly signed up an account at their webshop 2 or 3 or 4 years ago and sort of make largish orders every 8 or 9 months...... So paying them's not a problem :p.

Reaper minis are very easy to come by here in the colonies.  I've been known to ship a reaper or two overseas.

Thanks David, I'll wait 'til there are a few I want/need and send you a PM. Top bloke as usual ! Thanks!

I'm still trying to work out, is Gi6ers trying to help me or asking me to help him? I haven't placed the order yet so if we were talking a joint order then I can handle that (sort of).
