Recreating the "Legion" cover -- thoughts on this scheme?

[DerSchlankeMann]

So I'm attempting to recreate the "Legion" color scheme, as shown here:

 

The scheme that I had in mind was as follows:

 

Primer of Vallejo Black.

Base of Xereus Purple layer paint.

Shade with Druchii Violet.

Highlight with 1:1 Pallid Wych Flesh and Xereus Purple.

 

Thoughts?

Cool project!

 

This is what Xereus Purple, Druchii Violet, and Hormagaunt Pink looks like (so pretty close to your scheme except for the highlight).

 

 

Personally I'd go for something with a bit more blue in it for the 'Legion' colour scheme. You could swap the Druchii Violet wash for Drakenhof Nightshade or try a base colour with a bit more blue in it.

So maybe do Kantor Blue instead of Xereus Purple? Or do you think switching the wash from Druchii Violet to Drakenhof Nightshade would be enough?

I'd try the Drakenhof instead of the Druchii and see how that looks :tu:

I think xereus with a guillemann blue wash might work. Drakenhof might be too dark.
