| Scheme 1 - This was my understanding of the classic Warhammer colour scheme. Dark green and bright yellow! |
 |
| Scheme 2 -This is classic 40k colour scheme, that should be quite simple to paint just white undercoat and green ink (I think). |
 |
| Scheme 3 - Quite a 'realistic' colour scheme, but to get it right would take quite a bit of effort! |
 |
| Scheme 4 - This caught my eye as a modern take of the classic warhammer colour scheme... |
 |
| Scheme 5 - Unusual colour scheme of Zoat with iron skin! |
 |
| Scheme 6,7,8 - Light green (on the right!) - but if enough readers say orange or purple I might be persuaded! ;) |

If I had a zoat (and I don't, so no opportunity to put my money where my mouth is...), I think I'd aim for a greyish colour - quite dark, or perhaps quite close to the blue spectrum. You could lighten the look on the armour, then, or darken it with a green tinge. I'd be inclined to lighten the armour, though.
I suppose I'd better just get my own zoat...
Number 1 definitely. The classic always looks best on the table top imho.
This is what I went with many moons ago - quite similar to Orlygg's (the grey armoured skin tones).
As the painter of number 5 (thanks for including it in your reference...hi praise indeed) I would like to mention that the armored portions of this figure are a greyish green...and not metallic.
My intention was to make that portion look something like a turtle's shell with the greenish portions being the softer flesh bits.
Since you have quite a "horde" of Zoats why not try a couple of color schemes...representing different families or tribes? If you paint them all the same I fear for your sanity...they have a lot of surface area to cover!
I'm following adeptgamers' suggestion and trying scheme 1. It's just how I imagine zoats, I'm sure I must have seen it in a White Dwarf like that, otherwise I don't know where I've seen it.
Sorry Blue! I thought it was this new fangled, non-metallic metal! My bad! Sorry! :)
You question my sanity for 10 zoats? Those 30 elf cavalry burned me out... I'm sure a measley 10 zoats will be ok! ( my overconfidence is my weakness...)
