Very nice sources there, and the aztec one also looks really good, not one I would have normally look at. =D>

And why not, lizardmen in meso-American costume would surely be a huge hit :)

The question was "where could we use the paint schemes" not "do we need these figures"  :d :d :d :d

A note on sub-domains.
Some web-hosting companies offer free web-hostings on sub-domains - there is no  individual domain name, instead it is in the form of X.Y.com, Y is the domain name, X is the sub-domain. All sub-domains will have the Y.com part. If someone starts a spamy sub-domain site, some (lazy) security programs will give a blanket warning for all sub-domains on that domain, instead of going to the trouble of individual listings. So this type of warning becomes as useful as "may contain traces of nuts" put on all biscuits.

Also, altervista is an Italian company web-hosting company, so you sometimes get Italian adds.
