Which paints?


Ultrad81

Recommended Posts

Hi all

So up until now my recipe for darker-than-usual Ultramarines has been:

Base: Regal Blue

Shading: Regal blue/Chaos Black

1st Highlight: Regal Blue+Ultramarine Blue

2nd Highlight: Ultramarine Blue

3rd Highlight: Ultramarine Blue+Space Wolves Grey

Which has looked like this:

My stock of these colours is finally running low, so I'm hoping for some advice as to where to go next. Obviously I'd like my future models to match as much as possible, so do I...

1. Order the 'corresponding' paints from another company (Valejo seem to be popular...)

2. Fall in with GW's new system, in which case any suggestions as to how to replicate the above combination would be very welcome! I'm thinking Kantor Blue/Altdorf Guard Blue/Fenrisian Grey as per the conversion chart but I've already got some Fenrisian Grey and i know its a bit 'off'. If the others are similarly different, then the overall effect will drift even further out.

Any advice gratefully received!

Nice color scheme and great execution! From my experience, the Valejo Game Colors match their Citadel counterparts perfectly. I´ve specifically substiuted Regal Blue with Imperial Blue without any noticeable difference. Then again, you seem to be a better painter than me, so YMMV.
