I was thinking of painting the fur in some sort of "snow leopard" look as somehow I feel he is hunting in some snowy conditions.
I also thought on giving him some celtic looking bluish tatoos (Reference Dave T )
Everything else I just leave to how I feel at the time of painting but I will give him some reddish brown trousers and will keep the rest quite earthy.

I find most of them better than Vallejo. Mostly because of the flatness of the paint. I also have less trouble with thick paint residue clogging up the dropper at the top of the bottle.
I used to get my from Historex Agents in the UK. There should be another supplier in the US though

Yep, that is the one.
I can only recommend it. Time consuming mixing but the results are talking for themselves. That is why I only use them for real display pieces and not for economic wargaming paint jobs. Would drive me crazy otherwise
I really like them.

Well it's for my own minis and they always take ages to get done so that shouldn't be an issue
Thanks again!

Not really sure there. I was alway under the impression that it was something real different. I have most of the whole vallejo range and consider it not to be even half as good as Andrea.
Never mind they still work for me

As Sascha says, these are different paints.
I have the flesh set and a sampling of some others - as recommended by Sascha a while ago. I use both VMC and VGC and these Andrea paints look, feel and are quite a bit different and took me a while to get used to. Also, apart from the flesh set I bought the "old" range. These in the US appear to be the new "improved" range.
I have actually used the Flesh set, as an experiment, on "ordinary" figures and they work well for that too.
