Colour Scheme Ideas
I don’t want to follow the usual colour scheme. I think nearly every new Haqq player has thought about painting them in a Dune style Fremen scheme. Me included. At their heart the Dune Fremen scheme from the first movie is quite plain. So I’ll pick an accent colour for it and leave it at that.
Looking round for inspiration I rather liked the pics I saw of Tuareg people. They inspired me to push for a scheme of warm browns, light tan / sand colours, whites and blues. I’ve told myself it represents the colours of the desert earth and sky.
Generally I have several rough tones in mind and just mix them up as I see fit.
Darker Tones: Scale Colour Black Leather (SC32), Scale Colour Red Leather (SC30)
Mid Tones: Scale Colour Walnut Brown (SC29), Scale Colour Orange Leather (SC28), Scale Colour Iroko (SC27)
High Tones: Scale Colour Mojave White (SC62)
For the blues I normally undercoated with grey then layered up with mixes of Scale Colour Cantabric Blue (SC53), Scale Colour Sky Blue (SC50) and White.
Afterwards my miniatures will get an oil wash tohelp hide the roughness of some transitions.
Some minis airbrushed with a red leather undercoat with orange leather highlights.
