Xikan Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Ok, so I am interested in painting up a Dark Angels test mini, but I do not have Bleached Bone paint for the chest eagles. What combinations/mix of colors would you use to get a similar color? I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obliterator Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 :tu: * whistles * Now there's a paint mixing challenge! As for the Bleached Bone, considering the colors you've got, I'd go for a mix of Snakebite Leather and Skull White. Maybe add a dab of Golden Yellow as well to get rid of the chalky look you get when using Skull White for highlighting... The green will be a bit harder. You can start by basecoating DA Green, and then mix in Camo Green until you reach pure Camo Green. For a final highlight add a bit of Skull White to the Camo Green.

Xikan Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 I never said this would be easy! :P Interesting, camo green to highlight the DA? I ruled that option out right away. However, it is a test mini, so why not give it a shot? I was thinking about a DA green/Bad moon yellow mix for highlights, but I havent mixed it up yet to see what it looks like. Anyone else willing to take the challenge? Thanks, Xikan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dammekkos Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 There used to be a chart that had the ratios of all colurs in the GW range, made using only red, yellow and blue (possibly back and white aswell). I never quite believed it myself, but I suppose it's theoretically possible. You'd have to trawl through the cmon messageboard, I'm not sure what the search term would be, maybe ask over there if anyone remembers it.

RayGun924 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 There used to be a chart that had the ratios of all colurs in the GW range, made using only red, yellow and blue (possibly back and white aswell). Yep. It's on CMON. You can find it right HERE ~Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xikan Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 Ok, that chart is everything I was looking for an more! Good news is I have Sunburst Yellow, Blood Red, and Enchanted blue! Now I can mix up some snot green and bleached bone! :P Thanks so much guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vindictus Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 For what it's worth, the "Bone" on this mini is just Snakebite and White: http://webpages.charter.net/grothauser/images/figs/2weaponsb.jpg Same on this guy's tabbard: http://webpages.charter.net/grothauser/images/figs/Osric2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xikan Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 Hey, I like those minis! Vindictus, what ratio of Skull White to Snakebite did you use for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vindictus Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Well, it's basically a blending job going from almost pure Snakebite in the deep recesses up to almost straight White on the higlights. The middle-ground is probably not too terribly far from 50-50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the dark angel Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 i would use a mix of skull white and snake bite leather as for the green apply 2-3 layers of DA green,then a coat of 80:20 mix of DA green and snot green highlight is DA green with a touch of skull white and thats how i do my dark angels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
