Sanquinary Priest Paint Recipie

[Spagunk]

I have a custom sanguinary priest I am building and was wondering if anyone knows the paint recipe they use in the codex. Do they cover this in the BA painting guide? Any personal recipes ya'll think I should try instead? Thanks.

Not sure what you mean by Sanguinary Priest recipe but it's a rather straightforward Red armor and white armor paintjob; any tutorials for painting red power armor (Blood Angels) or white power armor (Red Scars, Apothecaries) would work but if you really want something that involves both you may want to look for tutorials for Sons of Orar, Blood Ravens, etc.

Well, not exactly. The new priest isn't pure white like apothecaries. He's more of a bone color.

He's just white, they painted him an off white to add depth - all white is painted off-white and highlighted to white, you can go from blue, grey or yellow.  In this case they went from yellow, i.e. a creamy/bony white up to white.  It's just a way to paint white armor, do a search on google and one tutorial or another should be close enough.

If you want this, you can also do a search on painting deathwing, it will give you resources like:

Or if you really feel like getting shafted though, there's this:

Why anyone would buy it when there is a boatload of tutorials on the web for the same thing, for free, I wouldn't know..

According to the painting guide, they basecoat with Rakarth Flesh, then wash with Agrax Earthshade. They then layer up with Screaming Skull and Pallid Wych Flesh, before applying an edge highlight of White Scar. 

 

You can find an alternate but equally good paint recipe here:

It's similar, but a little brighter.

Thanks all.

The Sanguinary priest is the mini they give the best coverate to (an actual full painting tutorial to a good standard) in the Sons of Sanguinius supplement, but not much of the painting content in the rest of the book is very good, there's a LOT of repetition. There's a decent amount of stuff on company and squad markings if you're into that, and some general fluff scattered around, but I sound like I'm reviewing it - I'm not really here to do that, just pointing out that there's a painting guide for the priest in there. It's higher quality than WD paint splatter articles, so it might interest you.
