Sons of Horus Green Colour Schemes & Combinations
The decision to list these specific paints was made by considering colour theory, specifically complementary and split-complementary colours.
- Moot Green: This color is a great choice for highlights on the Sons of Horus Green, as it is a lighter, more vibrant green that can be used to add depth and dimension to the models.
- Averland Sunset: This color is a great choice for adding an orange/copper accent to the Sons of Horus Green. It’s a warm colour that creates a nice contrast with the green and creates a nice balance in the colour combo.
- Ironbreaker: This color is a great choice for adding metallic accents to the Sons of Horus Green. It’s a dark metallic grey that can be used to paint weapons and other details, giving them a sleek, mechanical look.
Moot Green and Averland Sunset are both analogous to Sons of Horus Green, which means they are next to each other on the colour wheel and can be used together in a harmonious way. Ironbreaker was added as a metallic colour to add some variation and complement the colour palette. The combination of these colours will add depth, dimension and balance to the overall look of the miniatures.
