I'm going to start a side project of Emperor's Children/Slaanesh Legion relatively soon. However, bright pink models are a sort of eyesores to me, so I'm opting for a darker, more muted colorscheme. Black armor, with Maroon/Purple gauntlets and greaves. The helmets might be a mixture of the two, I haven't decided.

I want the colored areas to have a shade similar to this Dreadnought:

The problem I'm running into is that I suck at mixing paints and figuring out how it will look. So, could anyone help me determine a good mix to match that shade? (highlights will come after I get a grasp on the main color)

You're gonna need a bigger bolter...

The above link has all the colors available thru GW, but my guess is either darkened Scab Red or Red Gore. Good luck with ure project
