TheHyperion Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Hello Sons of Sanguinius, I have searched far and wide but have yet discovered a good recipe for the very very light blonde blood angels hair, does anyone happen to have such a paint scheme for it? (preferably in Citadel paints) Thanks! ~Sapphon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I'd say just start out white, then very very lightly drybrush bone colours and then a little yellow to finish off. Could add a yellow glaze too to help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHyperion Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 Thank you very much! I will try this method as well as a few others I have found with hopefully some success :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Use one of the light sandy brown colours, drybrush/highlight with a mix of the brown and bone, give it a sepia wash and the highlight/drybrush with your sand/bone colour then again but with a mix of the starting colour and a bit of white or bone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomus Sardauk Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Seeing as we're already on the subject of how to paint hair, does anyone know how to make a nice brown hair tone? I just feel like giving a few of my BA something other than black or blonde, ya'know? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 These guys were all Iyanden darksun (Averland Sunset), a sepia wash, then very light strokes of erm...vomit brown, I think to give texture.  http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk141/Mechxen/Blood%20Angels/Death%20Company/DSCF0888_zps8fe3599e.jpg  http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk141/Mechxen/Blood%20Angels/Characters/DSCF0901_zps487458c8.jpg http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk141/Mechxen/Blood%20Angels/Characters/DSCF0902_zpscdd5485f.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evildrcheese Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 It's a bit labour intensive but this is a great tutorial for blonde hair  http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/259096.page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnorriSnorrison Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 What I do is the following: Â over black primer: Â - paint Snakebite Leather(or equivalent) in thin layers until you receive a full coverage - add 50% Bleached Bone into the mix and apply on the whole hair-thing, leaving the first colour only in the deepest recesses - add more bleached bone, start painting downwards strokes, imitating hair, starting from the parting (the parting on my dudes is in the middle of the head) - add Skull white to the last mix and re-paint over the downward strokes, highlighting them - add a light reflexion by painting a pure skull white "0" around the head, basically where light would fall in - wash with Gryphonne Sepia, repeat the previous step and you're done! Â I'll try to get a picture of that in here, if I find it.... Hope it helped! Â Â Snorri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
