Introduction
This is not the same post as my earlier one: granted, it is similar in format. Instead, this is merely discussing and linking (aka referencing) the multi-layer systems I will use. Note that as with my Lord of the Rings Easterlings, my Warhammer Fantasy Arabyans will also get their eyes from me dotting the eyes in with White Scar and the irises with dark colors like Rhinox Hide and Kantor Blue, as well as really tiny pupil dot-ins with Abaddon Black. Now that that's cleared up let's learn my coloring plan, based on the Citadel Paint System (you'll want to open the "CPS" link in a separate tab to cross-check my refences), minus the Dry Compounds:
Lords
Salah-Adin:
- Clothing will use Khorne System with no use of Kindleflame at all
- Armor will use Brass System with no use of Golden Griffon at all
- Scimitar will use Steel System with no use of Necron Compound at all
- Skin will use Tanned Flesh System with no use of Eldar Flesh at all
- Hair & beard will use Sheer Black System with no use of Longbeard Grey at all
Caliphs:
- Clothing will use White System but with no Praxeti White whatsoever and with Ceramic White for Base coat on everything but the head-scarf. Celestra Gray will be used for Base-coating the head-scarf.
- Armor will use the same coloring scheme as Salah-Adin's scimitar
- Same Skin coloring scheme as Salah-Adin elaborated above.
- Same Hair & beard coloring scheme as Salah-Adin above.
Heroes
Jasmine Silverviel:
- Her skin will use the High Elves coloring system. Thing is though, I am not including Etherium Blue
- Her clothes will have the Blue coloring system, but not only am I excluding Etherium Blue, but I am also excluding Hoeth Blue from the layering
- Snowmane will have the same coloring scheme as the Caliph's non-head-scarf clothing eleborated above.
- Her hair will have identical color scheme to Salah-Adin's beard & hair
- Her sword, being the only double-edged blade of any in the army, still follows the Salah-Adin coloring scheme for swords
Malik Ibn La'Ahad:
- See my clothing plan for the Caliphs, but ignore the second sentence of that plan.
- For his vambraces I may consider doing the Steel coloring scheme without Necron Compound on the left and the Warm Brown without Tyrant Skull one on the right.
- His skin will use the Tanned Flesh System like the majority of troops around here

Conclusion
Now that I have told you my painting plan, I am going to take at least a week's break before posting again. When I come back, I will post about who my allies and enemies are as a General of Araby, and I will elaborate on who I intend to have for future allies and who I intend to depose as future enemies........
