Warband Brutes colour scheme for miniatures

A muscular war band: olive skin, rusty leather, red war paint and bone trophies.

Tip: Use the red war paint as stripes across faces and shields to tie the whole band together.

Below is each colour in the scheme with the closest paint in every major brand. Metal colours are matched to metallic paints, the rest to opaque paints. ΔE is how far the paint is from the target colour: under about 6 is close, over about 15 is loose. These are worked out from swatch estimates, so check the real paints before you start.
