Greetings!
So I'm still paint testing here, to figure out how I'm going to paint the rest of my Crimson Fists units. You might have seen my last test, but of course I didn't write down any directions for that one....I'm a moron.
So I've been painting a couple of figures and paint stripping them the past month, until I remembered that I had this fine figure laying around so I thought I might as well paint it.
I used mainly Vallejo colors for this figure, actually I think I only used Vallejo colors :-p
For the Power Armour I used the following colors:
Base coat:
- 72.019 - Game Color - Night Blue (It's very dark, a lot darker than GW Regal Blue (Or whatever its called now))
Hightlights:
- Night Blue (See above)
- 72.022 - Game Color - Ultramarines Blue
- 70.902 - Model Color -Azure (Most likely a paint in the Game Color range that match this one aswell)
Painting:
- Night Blue base coat
- Night Blue 6(7):1 Ultramarines blue ratio + a few drops of water to thin it down
- Azure 1:1 water mix added to above mixture
- Repeat the above highlight if needed. Depending on how much time you wanna spent.
- Finish of with a fairly fine edge highlight of pure Azure (probably thinned down slightly)
- Depending on how much you have highlight it might be needed to tone down the recesses of the armour. I used a black wash to pin wash where needed.
For the cloak and Fist I used the following colors:
Base:
- 72012 - Game Color - Scarlett Red
Highlights:
- 70.909 - Game Color - Vermillion
- White (any white will do to be honest, but I used a white from the Vallejo Model Color range)
Painting:
- Scarlett Red base
- Apply black wash, I used Vallejo Model Wash - Black (You could also just do the base coat with Scarlett Red and add drop of black and then continue from there with highlights)
- Scarlett Red + water highlight
- Add a few drops of Vermillion to the mix
- Repeat step 4 if needed.
- Add a drop of white to the mix for the highest edges.
For the rest of the gear you can use whatever colors you want :-)
Finished figure (Still missing base)
*Update 25.10.23* - Base Done
So I manged to get the base finished. I should probably have used a 60mm Dreadnought base, but sadly I didn't have one laying around.
Hope you like it.
