Helias_Tancred Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Anyone else avoid using this color for the final edging/trim on their BA models? I'm seeing it give too much of an orange hue to the model when I use it? I love our Sons of Sanguinius painting guide, I tend to follow what it suggests .... but this is giving mine too much of an orange look. Its a very powerful orange. I'd rather just work with the colors of red we use (Mephiston Red, Evil Sunz, etc) and some good shades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM1981 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I've seen some people use jacopo (spelling?) As the final highlight on hard edges, and it come up good. It's still orange, but less bright orange, if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHelion Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Jokero Orange is what you're thinking of SM1981, I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Aye, Jokaero Orange Troll Slayer Orange is what you should be using for edge highlights on your Blood Angels. It's the modern equivalent of the old Blazing Orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I use Fiery Orange (now called Fire Dragon Bright) for mine, but then I apply Blood Red (Evil Sunz Scarlett) on a white base. Does, Blazing Orange became Troll Slayer Orange. Jokero Orange is the new name for Macharius Solar Orange. http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Paint_Range_Compatibility_Chart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 *Dos ;) And thanks, it is indeed Troll Slayer Orange I'm on about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Wild rider red for me (I think...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont-Be-Haten Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 The final edge highlight for Hazriel was Fire Dragon Bright, and I don't feel like it gives too much of an orange hue to his wings, do you all? http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z460/Dont-be-Haten/40k/3DAEE173-C86B-4CCC-A9D2-C32BBABFC68A_zpsna5v5oaz.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gav1892 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Troll slayer orange actually works amazingly well on my colour style but everyone has a colour pallet they use. I quite like harsh highlights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabadin Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Tau Light Ochre is also a good final highlight option when used sparingly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Gunzhard Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Exactly why my Blood Angels are so so dark with lots of heavy shadows... so I don't have to go all the way up to orange for the highlights and contrast. It is apparently beyond my skill to take a decent photo of a red model but they look good in person haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I use FDB over evil sunz broad highlights, and meph red base, straight from the SoS painting guide.What they dont reccoment in SoS, but to elsewhere, is a red glaze to take the orange back to red. A selection of FDB highlighted models for your perusal. http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk141/Mechxen/Blood%20Angels/Characters/DSCN4304_zpsusjdjapj.jpg http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk141/Mechxen/Blood%20Angels/1st%20Company/3rd%20Squad/DSCN1795_zps4bsrmsrn.jpg I use very very thin lines as an extreme edge highlight. Before FDB I actually used Vomit Brown as an extreme highlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I over use it and my trim/edging is not as small and neat. Looks great on the wing tips of the Chaplain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockwithaticket Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 It also really depends on what kind of red you like. Even a well executed orange highlight isn't for me. I prefer either a red highlight (if you start from a very dark base) or a slightly pinky/purple hue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks great on the wing tips of the Chaplain. Definitely this, use it as an extreme edge highlight alone, on upper sufaces, in very thin lines, and it'll look great!

Looks great on the wing tips of the Chaplain. Edge highlights aren't too difficult to do well with some practice. Make sure your paint is thinned to be of a good consistency, but not too watery so it starts to flow down the surface. Don't have too much paint on your brush and then simply use the side of your brush at an angle and move over the edge: http://users.wowway.com/~tinweasel/tutorials/edge_highlights.jpg Edit: quoted wrong post.
