Hello! I've been really wanting to make a Xana II traitor knight army for Horus Heresy, and that of course requires a nice off-white / tan paint!!

 

The issue is, I don't have an airbrush, and tbh they don't look very fun to use (I prefer brushing everything on!), so I'm looking for a paint that has good coverage and would be relatively easy to brush on a knight (with all their flat panels), or alternatively spray on (though this option is less favorable to me as I live in an apartment with no balcony so I'd have to either apply it inside, which I've heard is not a good idea, or go out onto the street or something). I have heard Rakarth Flesh recommended but figured it couldn't hurt having more options!!!!

 

Furthermore, if you have examples of minis you've painted with the color, I'd love to see them!!! Especially if they're of Xanite origin :biggrin: Thanks!!! -Madeleine :3 :thumbsup:

Wraithbone primer might be a good starting point. Not my models but the photo below is a useful comparison to white or grey primer.

Brainmatter Beige from The Army Painter is another good off-white/tan color. Close to Wraithbone from Citadel.

 

The third picture here is a good indicator of the color:

It is also a 1:1 match for their Brainmatter Beige paint bottles, so you can do touchup on it easily.

I know it doesn't answer your paint question, but the people over at Artis Opus use their round drybrushes to stipple paint onto large panels -  I don't know if that's of interest as an idea/approach  (obviously, there are similar products which are cheaper). I did once paint a Rhino by hand, and it wasn't a pleasant experience.
