Slave to Darkness Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 So I am trying to do a Retro Blood Angels army based on the 1st ed Studio force, (http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286145-retro-blood-angels/) I'll leave that there for people to look at instead of explaining myself all over again. The red was made by mixing Blood Angel Orange and Go Fasta Red, neither are made by GW anymore, I have tried Wild Rider Red and a Red inkwash but I wasn't too impressed with the shade. I am aware that Coat 'd Arms does a range of discontinued GW shades, but if I can I'd rather stick to GW paints as they are generally easier for me to get hold of. Soooooo the question is, any of you clever arty painty types have any ideas on how to nail this oldschool colour? Heres another pikky, as the ones I took of the WD mag on my phone made them look washed out.

JennifertheRedeemer Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Prime a black colour, then a maroon (ish) type thing, then blood red. At least, that's how my head puts it in. I know, it isn't very specific, sorry. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299863-retro-blood-angels-colouring/#findComment-3876608 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercus Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Are you going for the scarlet mk VII colour or the orange mk VI? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299863-retro-blood-angels-colouring/#findComment-3876617 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to Darkness Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 Are you going for the scarlet mk VII colour or the orange mk VI? Both, the Mk 6 just had more highlights but started off with the same shade as the Mk 7 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299863-retro-blood-angels-colouring/#findComment-3876878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
