Hi, am painting my Dreadfleet via the WD paint sceme, but am short on the Leviathen Purple, Devlan Mud and Ogrean Flesh washes. Does anyone have any tips on how to make these by watering down other paints?

Plz help me!

You can make a paint was using an apropriate color paint, Flo-Aid and Water. It will work but its not going to give you the same results as the normal washes.

To get results that are closer to the normal wash your going to need to use an ink based wash. I highly recommend looking up the article on how to make Les's Awsome Paint Job washes here on Dakka.

Thanks, but do you know what colours to use for the said paints?

Liche Purple for your purple, Bestial Brown for Devlan Mud, Vomit Brown for Ogren Flesh. Just bear in mind that these will not look or work the same as the GW washes.

Just in case you don't know their equivalents in the new range;
Leviathen Purple = Druchii Violet
Devlan Mud = Agrax Earthshade
Ogrean Flesh = Reikland Fleshshade

They're not exactly the same but they are close.

If you don't need this and just need to make your own washes. Take Catyrpelius' advice.

Thanks alot!!!!

I've found something that works quite well for a Nuln Oil/Badab Black: 3/4 of a cup of water, with about three large drops of fairy liquid, and one drop of Chaos Black paint. Put the paint onto a palette, and keep adding the soap/water mix until you are happy with the colour. Is there any substitute for Bestial Brown?

A ha!I've also got something for the bestial brown. I used 2:2:1 of Calthan Brown, Vermin Brown and Chaos Black and then used the tequinique said above to acheive the desired effect.

I've actually found that Dark Flesh from the now-old line looks a lot like Ogryn Flesh when you water it down enough.
