I've been using some chaos space marines that i got for cheap to test out new paint schemes and i found one that looks like a cool blood angels paint job maybe? It looks like a marine jumped into a pool full of blood before going to war. I'd like to know what you guys think obviously i would still need to add more detail but this was just a test run

If you used a muted form of this technique as part of a cohesive color scheme I think it could look very striking.

In this form it is just too much.

i like it man, the darker look higher up draws you in. Keep up the good work

Yeah i was thinking if this was the primary color of the armor with a secondary color and picking out the details on the weapons and such it would look much better but as i said this is just a test dummy. Thank you for the feedback!

Thanks you for your comment. I started with a light primer then added black on some ares then dipped it in the secret sauce.

I like the idea, but as of now its simply to bright for my eyes

As I said I think you will find a solid scheme using this as the main color. What colors were you thinking of putting with it?

Maybe if it were a little more sculpted/painted on, as if there was a splash or something. A whole army done like this would make me think of candy apples...

Im not sure yet maybe white to contrast the dark red. What do you suggest?

a purple maybe, a bronze, or a yellow

Yeah anything that contrasts the dark red would look nice thank you for the feedback!

Possibly Tamiya Clear Red? Makes for great blood effects.

with the bronze be careful you do not want world eaters, maybe a bronze and silver mix. Purple goes with almost anything but that is my opinion
