Originally known as Calistarius, he was a Blood Angel Librarian of some ability and exceptional strength of character. [5] Now, similar to Citadel’s Colour System – you know, the whole base, shade, highlight thing? – Two Thin Coats’ paints work in colour triads. Paints come in groups of three, with a Shadow, a Mid-tone, and a Highlight. This is designed to make adding depth of colour to your miniatures super easy. Add dots of pure white over the previous steps. This is the bit where suddenly it looks like metal and it’s very satisfying. You really are aiming for small dots (unless it’s a vehicle then you can go for bigger patches. Reds Carefully wash Druchii Violet into recesses between armor plates, undersides of filigree, and anywhere else that needs contrast. Add Athonian Camoshade and Druchii Violet in recesses and random patches, letting the washes flow together

We would strongly recommend you give Two Thin Coats paints a go – grab one of the colour triads and try switching it with your usual recipe for a particular colour. See what you think. For Caracalla, my shield captain here, it is very important to note that I painted the cape separately, and glued it on after I was done. This entire process is a huge pain in the butt otherwise. The head was also painted separately.For the totally new and completely unaware, Duncan Rhodes is the original (and now former) Games Workshop painting presenter. Duncan’s videos, which were posted to Warhammer’s YouTube, have been viewed millions of times by painters across the world and to this day remain amongst GW’s most popular tutorials on their channel.

In our How to Paint Everything series, we take a look at how to paint well, everything, with different methods and approaches from different artists. In this article we’re looking at the Blood Angels, everyone’s favourite Renaissance goth space vampires.Mix in a little more Cadian Fleshtone and layer up again, concentrating on raised areas where light would hit Wash the gold with Gloss Reikland Fleshshade. Necro Gold is a somewhat greenish gold, and the red tones in the fleshshade warm up the colors while retaining the darker tone. If you’re painting Khorne models, you’re going to need to do some bone and skulls. I tend to do mine with Rakarth Flesh, then wash them with Agrax Earthshade and re-highlight with Rakarth Flesh again. If I want them to be even brighter or have more of a polished/bleached look, I’ll then highlight that with Reaper Polished Bone. Use about two thin layers of Khorne Red on the armor and ribbons hanging from the shoulders or armor plates, and be sure to cover the spherical part of the gems with a smooth layer. With only a touch of water, the Two Thin Coats paints go on very smoothly. Coverage is very good, but the first – and most glaring difference between the two paints – was that the Two Thin Coats paint was thinner than the Citadel paint. Not to the extent it was counterproductive to painting (funnily enough, I only had to apply two thin coats to get a good opaque colour), but just noticeably so.

The Master of Mankind by Aaron Dembski-Bowden takes place during the Horus Heresy and gives you insight into the Emperor himself (and his finest creations). As such, I decided to paint two identical Primaris Infiltrators in Dark Angels colours. On one, I’d use only Citadel Paints, would follow the usual process and use all the same techniques I would normally use when painting any of my Dark Angels ( regular readers know that I have quite a few). The color scheme denotes him as a Blood Angel, but his skin is pale and his hair is no longer blonde.Mix in a little more Warboss Green and layer up again, concentrating on raised areas where light would hit Wet palettes are one of the biggest game changers to how you’ll paint your minis. If you’re not using one. Get one immediately! You can make one yourself, but I recommend this one from Red Grass games. Why use a Wet Palette? The sword was then glazed with a coat of Gryph-Hound Orange heavily-diluted with Contrast Medium (1:4). Airbrush Scale 75 Dwarven Gold over most of the upper surfaces of the model, again leaving the Viking gold mostly from the mid-point down. Some of your Khorne Daemon models have fleshy bits, like the Skull cannon. For those I started with a base of Bugman’s Glow, then washed with Agrax Earthshade and Carroburg Crimson to give it a darker, redder hue. I then highlighted the flesh with Bugman’s Glow and did edge highlights with a 50/50 mix of Bugman’s Glow and Reaper Polished Bone.

The next step is the real secret sauce. I created a reasonably dilute wash with a mix of Golden High Flow Acrylics Sepia (pretty much a more concentrated Agrax Earthshade), Golden High Flow Acrylics Dioxazine Purple, and the product formerly known as Future Floor Polish (Now Pledge Floor Care Finish, unless they’ve changed it again.) I wash the entire model in this color, removing excess where it pools too much. If you are working with Games Workshop paints, a mix of Druchii Violet, Agrax Earthshade and water/lahmian medium will work just fine. You will, however, be spending a lot more money to wash an entire army of Custodes using this method. At this point the gold is complete. It’s simple, but has a nice rich depth and purplish warmth to it. Highlight almost the entire jewel with Ahriman Blue (leave some of the previous layer showing at the edges). The blood on the face was painted with Flesh Tearer Contrast Paint heavily-diluted with Contrast Medium (at least 4 parts Medium to 1 part Flesh Tearer). With the recent release of the Leagues of Votann, we’re going to take a look at some different methods for getting your vertically-challenged space-capitalists ready for war. We’ll be focusing on the five major Leagues covered in the Codex to start with, and in this article we’re going to zoom in on the master armourers of the Ymyr Conglomerate. Cronch’s MethodMephiston has become embroiled in an effort to foil the plans of Magnus the Red and the Daemon Prince Zadkiel. Foreseeing disaster should their plans come to pass, he managed to infiltrate the Planet of the Sorcerers and foil the attempts of Zadkiel to summon nine Silver Towers to Terra. [10a] Wargear and Abilities And with that, you should have everything you need to paint your Helbrecht like my Helbrecht. Don’t sweat it if you don’t have all the colors or missed that I didn’t saw how to paint the tiny heraldic shields on these four models in one. I left that as a treat, for you.
