First painted GW minis in several years (I mostly paint historical 28 & 15mm now)...

That is the neatest red I've seen in a long, long time! How'd you do it?

I think both these models would demand more metal gilding either a silver or a brass colour, more personal taste though very solid work and good highlights.

I like the red too. And interesting armour color choice.

It started as a "color wheel" highlighting experiment when I painted Rackham's Capt. Kelian Durak. This time I did it a little differently, since I wanted dark, brooding colors (listened to a lot of Lego Batman's "Darkness" song)....

Basecoated in Reaper Dark Elf Skin, mid-tone 50/50 mix Dark Elf Flesh & Vallejo Scarlet Red (awesome color for this effect BTW), successive highlighting layers by adding more and more SR to the mix. Then a dark purple wash, then more highlight layers until the final one of pure SR.
