Our group is starting season 2 of our campaign. To celebrate I got a new character model from Heroforge. However I am running into a bit of a block on how to paint it up.
Character is a level 10 War domain Cleric of Bahamut, he has a 2 handed great sword and an Animated shield as well as armor he made from the scales of a white dragon the group killed at the end of the last campaign. Armor has no special properties, just normal splint mail. Here is the new Character model.
The armour you could do with a light grey, azure wash and silver dry brushing (because of the white dragon scales). For contrast, use a "gunmetal" colour for the sword and brass crossguard and pommel. Is that a torch in his left hand? (orange/red wash/yellow dry brush). The cloak you could match to the colour scheme of the weapon (dark brown, black wash, tan dry brush) for some sort of "heavy fur/wool cloak. I would add a trim of gold/brass on the edges so it does not look that prominent and because it has no texture. The base should be dark, like medium grey, black wash and some light grey dry brushing. Nothing fancy with the candles, white and flames like the torch.

Really struggling on color choices here.
What color skin did you go with?
