I think this type of colour will siut your painting really well.  They amassed from rather a large area so I think you can legitamitely have quite a varied array of tones tbh.

Dirty milky coffee

With sugar  :D

Being in the saddle and outdoors for most of the time would have made them very tanned and wind blown so as Svennn suggests, mixing them would work very well.

cheers

Depends in which generation after first contact with Alans, Goths and Gepids, really.  ::) By the time they arrived at Chalons I guess many Huns looked like any other Frank/Saxon/Goth.
But the milky coffee sounds right for generic huns. :)

No one knows whether the Huns were Mongols or Turks or something else. I guess you go with how they are sculpted.

  lol Nor I, don't no how my wife puts up with me actually; she deserves an medal. My constant asking " if I paint this colour,how should I paint the trousers?" Et cetera..... ;)

 Eventually my Huns will have Gepids,Heruls and so on, so it should be a good mix,just wish I could paint faster,even with the short cuts I'm taking it's still an cavalry figure per night. Most of the infantry I'll airbrush (a WIP hopefully soon..),otherwise it will take me forever ;)
