PerfectChocolateMadeleine Posted yesterday at 04:39 PM Share Posted yesterday at 04:39 PM 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 Thanks!!! -Madeleine :3 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386711-looking-for-an-off-white-tan-brush-on-or-spray-on-paint-for-knights/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted yesterday at 08:53 PM Share Posted yesterday at 08:53 PM Wraithbone primer might be a good starting point. Not my models but the photo below is a useful comparison to white or grey primer. phandaal, PerfectChocolateMadeleine and Firedrake Cordova 2 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386711-looking-for-an-off-white-tan-brush-on-or-spray-on-paint-for-knights/#findComment-6132903 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phandaal Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago 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: https://thearmypainter.com/products/colour-primers-colour-primer-brainmatter-beige-cp3031s It is also a 1:1 match for their Brainmatter Beige paint bottles, so you can do touchup on it easily.

Cleon Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago I'd suggest Colour Forge Ossified Earth is worth a look.

Sky Potato Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago Colour Forge Ossified Earth is a good colour match for Morghast Bone from Citadel. Its a great spray, I use it to prime ready for yellow.

Firedrake Cordova Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago 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.
