Painting Hat El Cid as Normans

Up until now I have been painting my soldiers in only one color, however I have started to improve the paint jobs on some figures recently. I have a bunch of Hat "El Cid" figures and I might want to spray them one color to match my Strelets Normans. What color should I use? gunmetal? suggestions please.

Thanks,

Bob Richman

Bob, if you want to follow the flock, here's what PSR says on the subject:

Dark Grey for Normans. So, Gunmetal would work. Army Painter has one:



And if you really wanted to get adventurous, how about giving them a dip in shader after spraying them:

Thanks for the suggestions PDA,

Have you got any suggestions for Byzantines? I wanted to paint my Russian Medievils as Byzantines and there is no mention on the list.

Thanks,

Bob

You're welcome, Bob.

I'm going to confess my ignorance: I don't know anything about Byzantines!

I know I could Google it &c. But I think there are people more qualified than me to discuss Byzantium. Sorry.
