What colors will I need to fully paint an AOBR set into a Raven Gaurd force? I presume black, white, red (shoulderpad lips?), and gold for the termies and dred. I want to pick all the colors up at the massive sale my local art store is having tomorrow (40% off all acrylic paints ). Am I missing any of the little colors for details? I will be mixing black/white for the greys, and the white with a wash of some old brown I still have a bit left of should cover purity seals.
Raven Guard may use other colors than red for markings.
IMO, you need:
- black + blackish wash
- browns ( bleached bone, brown washes )
- white / greys ( highlights / basecoat for lenses )
- red, green, yellow, blue ( details, markings, lenses, lights )
- a metal color ( boltgun metal )

H.B.M.C :
We were wrong. It's not the 40k End Times. It's the Trademarkening.
kool, looks like all I need to pick up is some red and white. Also, is there any way I can make a wash? I heard that diluting normal paint would work (1:10 ratio), but after trying it on a my first test marine i realized that it doesnt really work. The wash doesnt group in the crevices, it kinda just sits on the surface and adds black to everything your brush touches... which sucks. Any other methods would be great.
