Pallid Wych Flesh Equivalents?

[Sword Brother Adelard]

Does anyone know of a good colour match for PWF in a range which has dropper bottles?

I have a few more knights to paint, and for my sins, went with PWF as the main colour last time. This time however, I own an airbrush, so won't be spending weeks endlessly laying down countless layers of watered down paint to achieve coverage and smoothness. However, I hate using GW pots when airbrushing. (I suppose I could buy a pipette...)

If no one can get you a dropper bottled equivalent and you don't want something that you have to wash out each time, you can get a batch of small disposable transfer pipettes: https://www.amazon.com/EC2BUY-Transfer-Pipettes-Suitable-Childrens/dp/B06XXP4TQZ/ref=asc_df_B06XXP4TQZ/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=216559542401&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10143756243574517728&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=t&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9028226&hvtargid=pla-354323865812&psc=1

 

You can probably find a larger quantity for about the same price of larger ones, but you'll have to play with any of them to figure out what gives you the right amount for your airbrush.

I would look into getting an empty dropper bottle in the size you ant and putting your PWF in that. I did this with mine just for painting on a wet palette, because I find it an awkward colour to work with and I like being able to shake it properly with an agitator which there's no room for in those nasty little GW flip-tops.

If you need to thin Pallid Wych Flesh at least 1:1 to get it to run through the airbrush, you could get one of the empty 35ml Vallejo mixing bottles, and pour your pot of of paint into that.  Obviously, you'll end up with a load of paint still in the GW pot, so it's a case of put airbrush thinner in it, give it a good shake, then pour that into the mixing bottle (and give that a good shake too).  You should be able to get most/all of the paint out of the GW pot, and you'll end up with a bottle of pre-thinned Pallid Wych Flesh, ready for airbrushing.

Dragon Tooth from the Army Painter is very close. Silver Grey from Vallejo Model Colour also, albeit a bit lighter.

It's really easy to transfer GW paints to dropper bottles.  I'd recommend doing that.

Thanks guys, I think I'll give transferring a try. At least that way I can guarantee colour match.

Scale 75 Pale skin or Vallejo off white 70.820 are both pretty close. 

[Sword Brother Adelard]

Thanks all, in the end I went for decanting and it worked reasonably well!

For posterity, Leather White from Reaper Master Series is a close match.
