It's been a while since the Red Box barbarians have been on the blog, so a few will make an appearance.
Just like all the other figures of this type, I had to match previously painted versions. The one way to try to match color schemes across multiple figure lines is to have as much color harmony as possible within each individual figure.
I attempted to spread around as much of the warm, muted greens as possible... in the skin color, furs, and even the sword blade.
