I'm going to use Dark Angel Veteran bodies for my Noise Marines and I was wondering how to make bright pink robes. If anyone ever did this I would appreciate a few tips.

Thank you

I haven't done it myself, but I know how I'd go about it. Skull White Primer, Baal Red Wash. Done. There's an Example here. If you're not convinced, try a Second Wash. That should give you as bright a Pink as you need.

Simply, this is the fastest Pink imagineable, and it's perfect for Robes. You can get a good idea from that Example.

Good Luck, and Happy Painting!

Hi there! I use Tentacle Pink and highlight with skull white. I've never used that Baal Red Wash, but thinned down I bet it would be a winner!

Be well, be blessed!

Alas, as far as I know, tentacle pink has disappeared from the shelves.

You can try a mix of Warlock purple and Skull white over a white undercoat and a thinned red baal wash.

If you're going to use DA veterans bodies, check this:

I hope it will help you.

The wash look nice, I think I'll test it on one model

I have Squid Pink from Vallejo, it's pretty much the same color
