Seahawk Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Depends. Do you have the new plastics or the last edition's metals? If the better looking, bestial metals, then I can help.

eyescrossed Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 The new plastics. EDIT: I prefer the plastic ones, but they're unfluffy; I thought Khorne's weapon of choice was an axe - having something Khornate without an axe is like having something Slaaneshi without giant, out of proportion boobs.

Dourine Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Heavy dryrush scab red, not as heavy drybrush blood red, light drybrush blazing orange for highlighting. Paint the swords, horns, and (i did) dorsal fin things black, lightly drybrush sword with codex grey for smoky daemon metal look. I also washed the back fins dark red to blend them with the skin so it wasn't as contrasting. Teeth are bleached bone with highlited skull white (usually i do dirty ork teeth, but i though, daemons are just made, and i just picture them with rather perfect features....except nurgle of course, but even then it's a perfect corrupted look) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/154535-what-a-conundrum/#findComment-1802453 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draakur Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I always figured if I was going to buy bloodletters, I'd paint 'em black (with veeery dark red for "highlighting") with layered on red ink, and bronze weapons. I think it'd look solid with the newer 'letters, with glowing red or even green runes in the sword blades.

eyescrossed Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 Another thing, would it look good to have them painted red with Tamiya Clear Red painted all over them or just in patches to look like blood?

blamb Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I paint mine black, then drybrush blood red, comes up nice and dark red. brass khorne symbols (to emphasise them) and boltgun metal blades with red paint (gore and blood) with red ink for the blood effects. For horns and teeth i wet blend snakebite leather bleached bone up to skull white (usually do a rough layering for teeth). This comes up alot better on the metal daemons but i still use it for my plastics.
