@lawnor: the trick to the transition is a heavy wash of Citadel Druuchi Violet Wash / carroburg crimson followed *immediately when still wet* with a moderate to heavy wash of just the head and upper body with Citadel Athonian Camoshade Wash (which is a greenish brown or a brownish green). This has the effect of clearing off much of the violet leaving the filthy green, and also mixing with the violet at the edges, creating a nice gradual colour transition effect. Its almost like magic. just make sure to take care of any exessive pooling to avoid tide marks. other washes can also be used of course. but these are the ones I have found work the best.
also, this is quite messy so should be done before anything else is painted on the mini.
the same technique has been used here with different effects had by thinning the wash and varying the amount used.
