  How wpuld i go about painting the actual grognard colors in the citadel range? 

   

  For the blue i tried Macraggie Blue and it didnt quite look right. Any ideas for a better blue that matches the blue on the box?

  I'm pretty sure Matthew Leahy gave his recipe somewhere for them.

  From the look of it those have been painted black and then blue as highlights. Try Black -> McCragge ->MCragge with a touch of white.

  I can actually read so I know you said Citadel paints.

  But if you want a guide to painting what I presume to be the inspiration for the Grognard's scheme in Vallejo paints.... here it is:

  

  

  

  

  I used Citadel paints for a long time... but the bottles from the last 10 years or so dry out so fast....  Expensive bottle after expensive bottle thrown away.  I switched to Vallejo as those dropper bottles will last until dooms day.  

  The guide is from The Painting War Napoleonic French Army.
