NoLats_McGee Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 What kind of red do you guys like to see for Heresy era Word Bearers? I've seen everything from bright red to a purple-brown that's barely red at all. Help a brother decide!

Fire Golem Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 A darker, arterial/wine red like the FW pictures in Massacre/Tempest is my fave. http://i.imgur.com/bsO9YbS.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314926-word-bearers-red/#findComment-4197146 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I like the Word Bearers to have a dark wine red colour on their armor so it can contrast with the brighter reds of the Blood Angels and the Thousand Sons.

Calas Typhon Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I always though a Maroon colour was the best for the Word Bearers as it pretty much makes them stand out the best when compared to the latter World Eaters, Thousand Sons and Blood Angels who are more or less the same reds.

NoLats_McGee Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 I always thought that Thousand sons were a bright warm red, and Blood Angels a bright cold red. So Word Bearers being a more purplish/maroon colour makes sense. How would one go about achieving this colour? I also only have citadel paints. Because I'm a slave to GW.

Slave to Darkness Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Well FW paint theirs with one of the Vallejo silvers with Tamiya clear red on top, I've done mine with Mephiston red basecoat, slap some red ink over it then nuln oil Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314926-word-bearers-red/#findComment-4197154 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladeBreaker Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 i go with a dark red/brown, basecoat rhinox hide then drybrush khorne red, gives a dark red and is nice and quick to paint Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314926-word-bearers-red/#findComment-4197162 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Loss Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 This is mine, done with the Word Bearer paints from FW with a little tweaking. It's a little darker in person, but I wanted a faster tabletop level so I didn't highlight it like the art http://i.imgur.com/M6e2Ub5.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314926-word-bearers-red/#findComment-4197177 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I would suggest Mephiston red with a wash of drakenhof Nightshade. The blue is not as trong as te black, so it will not kill the red, but it will deepen the tone really nicely. I do all my deep reds this way, and good news is thyat it doesn't turn them purple.
