Wyches - Done

I'm a bit at a loss as to what to do with my Wyches. The leather I managed to achieve on the Warriors was vastly disappointing. The paint was always too thin, too thick, not covering enough, hard to deal with and just looked poor overall. I want to find a better way for the Leather on my Wyches. With a Hull Red base, I'm thinking I can achieve some sort of mid-darkness leather colour. A very pale beige white leather cream colour I want is too hard with this base. I'm thinking something along the lines of a more reddish brown leather. Like the colour of a horse perhaps? That brownish red coat gleaming in the sun. Which reminds me, the White Dwarf magazine earlier this year featuring the High Elves has all these how to paint different coloured horses at the back. Perhaps I can find some inspiration there.

At the end of the day though, I should settle for a more reddish brown leather rather than a pure beige leather. Which would require a Zandri Dust or Karak Stone base. The colour of cocoa ha.

Update -

So i've completed my squad of 10 wyches. They look quite flat and not livid or lively as i would like them to be. I did 5 with Beige leather and 5 just leaving it dark brown as the base colour. I also chose a healthier skin colour for the dark leather people and a more pallid one for the white leather wyches. Looking at them, they are very monotone, they don't really pop and my painting skills are very sloppy. I think i should put some brighter gold and some high lights on them. If I can be bothered.... Next up is Wracks.
