Games Workshop Shade Carroburg Crimson Acrylic Paint (Red, Pot, Carroburg Crimson, Metal, Plastic, 25 ml)

Product Information

Airbrush the coil itself as well as the sections directly next to it with a light version of your coil color. In this case VGA Electric Blue. Following the basecoat, I go into my first shade. For my shade, I use Guilliman Flesh Contrast Paint thinned down about 2:1 with Contrast Medium . In retrospect, I think this left the shade a bit too light and I had to hit some areas an extra time, so a 1:1 mix would also probably work. After I lay down these colors, it’s time for shading. I cover the model in liberal coats of Agrax Earthshade and Reikland Fleshshade to tint the skin and give it more color depth. These go on haphazardly, but I’ll pool around the sores and add streaks in key places like below open sores and wounds to give it the skin a stained appearance from whatever was seeping out. I’ll also add a bit of Coelia Greenshade where I want more green hues.

Significant burn (including bad sunburns): Now add a second shade, this time made from Mephiston Red and Lahmian Medium, mixed 1:3, is glazed over the area. Second degree burns are more severe, with the skin pulling away from the area worst affected. Cadian Fleshtone is mixed 1:1 with Emperor’s Children to create a light pink, which is applied in the area of the skin loss. We took into account their armies and groups when selecting these particular vehicles, in addition to the design of the equipment. Additionally, we considered how the paint might improve the vehicles’ armor, weapons, or other features.It’s much the same process for infantry, however with the red mostly done in a bulk airbrushing session there really isn’t much left to do once you’ve pin washed and edge highlighted Here you can see the steps used to create a genuine looking bruised area around a recent but not fresh cut (1-2 days old). The process here is: Make up a 4:1 Carroburg Crimson:Khorne Red mix and then thin the hell out of it. You want it almost transparent. Then get some on your brush, wipe most of it off, and carefully glaze anywhere that’ll be flushed (eyes, nose and mouth are the key ones). You can just use Khorne thinned way way way down, but I think carroburg gives a nice tone to it. Then re-highlight with your last flesh mix just on the most raised parts.

Tau (at some point in the fluff anyway) have blue copper-based blood, and are hence various shades of blue. What other features have I painted? WHO KNOWS! It probably doesn’t matter, and I definitely forgot how I did it. I probably shouldn’t have been drinking while I wrote this! But good life choices don’t lead you to Warhammer, so cheers! Hope you enjoyed, and maybe even learned something! I do also like to make my lips and nips a nice pink. It just feels right and looks creepy. Weird green goop monster all ‘give granny a kiss’ with its pink lips. DISTURBING. A hulking, stinking, green mass charging toward you, nipples pink, glistening, and erect. HORRIFYING. Remember kids – infect their hearts AND their minds! It was inevitable that, by playing Dark Angels and not being very smart, I’d have to paint a lot of plasma coils, and after a few attempts at different methods, I’ve settled on this one. It’s easy enough to pull off, and following the advice of SRM to contrast it against the rest of the model, the vibrant blue pops nicely against the dark green armor and the red of the gun casing. Unlike SRM though, this method does not require you to be careful or take your time, because that’s not what I’m about.Glaze 4:1 Carroburg Crimson:Khorne Red heavily thinned on flushed areas, then retouch final highlight Glaze 2:2:1 Reikland Fleshshade: Seraphim Sepia:Khorne Red heavily thinned on flushed areas, then retouch final highlight Here I experimented with some various Contrast colours over Runefang Steel Layer on the wings trying to find a new shimmering effect on the wings. I’ve tried Contrast Ork Flesh, Contrast Plaguebearer Flesh, Contrast Magos Purple and Contrast Aethermatic Blue.

Seraphim Sepia makes things yellow – beware of overdoing this lest your skin take on a jaundiced look. We can produce a more striking paint effect with the paint by choosing vehicles with distinctive features and characteristics, whether it be a grime effect on the Ork Trukk or a bloodstained appearance on the Chaos Space Marines Rhino. Carroburg Crimson Colour Schemes & Combinations Mix your Cadian with a dab of Ushbati Bone (about 3:1) and highlight the raised areas (those that would catch the light). Then add a little more Ushbati and do it again, but on slightly smaller areas that are more prominent. Keep doing this until you’re at 1:1 Cadian: Ushbati. I know what you’re thinking. This isn’t technically a Nurgle Daemon. This is a Daemon Prince of Nurgle. Get over it. It’s got the Nurgle Daemon skin we’re looking for. To get the skin to the above-pictured state, I’ve zenithal highlighted the whole model with white ink, anti-zenithal low-lighted with purple ink (i.e., shot purple ink up, onto the underside of everything), then applied Elysian Green straight on (i.e., not at an upward or downward angle, just straight on). Lastly, I mixed 50/50 Elysian Green with Menoth White Highlight and sprayed directly down. You can see the shadows and highlights are somewhat exaggerated and some of the wound recesses are purple too.Here I put a line of white along the bottom edges of circle and rays (photo is unfortunately on blurry side, blame phone). reading glasses +2.5, these allow me to hold the mini closer to my face which is practically magnification. For tongues I’ll usually do the Squid Pink to finish it off, gives it that nice pink tongue look. The same will work for tentacles or other fleshy growths that you want to distinguish from the main mass. But really any colors would work just as well – I just like to start dark at the base and move to light at the tips. I did some nice Blue tongues in the same style on my warlord for the Astradus campaign. I don’t want to say his name, he’s a very litigious misfit. Horns, Claws, and Teefs Next, we magically cut to a stage where the armor and skin look better. Pay attention to the skin tones. The shadows have been further darkened with purples, reds, and browns, while the highlights have been further brightened with creams and greens. The skin itself is less desaturated thanks to green ink, which is transparent and allows us to tint the color gradient underneath. The wound on the stomach (along with several other points of interest on the skin) has been darkened (reddened) to look inflamed and highlighted with bright pink spots. Gross! All of the following test models have been primed white and the washes have been applied undiluted.

There are different severities of first degree burns – burns that are restricted to the very upmost layer of the skin. Redness is the only symptom, but the intensity indicates severity. Coat D'Arms match the OLD citadel colours (pre-1992) so there might be some difference. Shining gold has the most noticeable difference, That pretty much covers it. I’m happy with the final model and it wasn’t nearly as much time to paint as I expected it might take.With something like zombies, you can push the envelope very far. You can use pretty much any color. Green, Purple, Blue. Any color mixed with flesh tone, and then highlighting up with increasing quantities of a light flesh tone added will look great on a zombie. Just don’t push them too far or they will just read as whatever color you tinted with instead of as oddly colored flesh. In our How to Paint Everything series, we take a look at different armies of the Warhammer universe, examine their history and heraldry, and look at several different methods for painting them. With the release of Engine War we’re looking at the forces of the Chaos Daemons, and this instalment is dedicated to Grandfather Nurgle. Who are the Daemons of Nurgle? Next I start hitting the pustules with Averland Sunset. I want these to be bright on the final model but I’m gonna cover them with Nurgle’s Rot, which will tint them green so I need them to be bright yellow. I add a dot of Flash Gitz Yellow to them as well.
