Electrolytes Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 So I'm going to paint my next Assault Squad, thing is I'm not 100% happy with the way my old one is painted i can't seem to get a smooth red, my question is if i do it like this will it go on smoother? Spray black -> Mechrite Red -> Brown (vermin or maybe snakebite) -> Blood red -> Highlight Blazing Orange. Will that work? what do you guys do to get a smooth red?

Glitch85 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I used to have problems with getting a nice coat of blood red but Ive been practising and Im happy with the way Im doing it now. Grey Primer > Mechrite Red > Devlan Mud > Blood Red > Blazing Orange Highlights They key with the blood red Ive found is too do a few thinned down layers, dont put too much on your brush as thats when I found it was going on all un-even, I bought some decent winsor & newton water colour brushes which have helped loads.

deftoneage12 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Hey, I prefer a rich dark red with my angels: Black primer Army Painter dragon red blood red baal wash blood red touch up small highlight with blazing orange. looks very nice IMHO. check out my Youtube channel to see what they look like.
