So, I've decided to paint my Dark Eldar skimmers/flyers to look as much like Firefly/Serenity's Reavers as possible. Now, I know this has been done a couple of times, but I haven't seen it done a ton of times. So, I'm kinda picking and choosing and going in blind a little. While it'd probably help to watch something like Serenity again, the screenshots I can find on the web show the Reaver ships looking mostly unpainted (like bare metal) with the exception of tribal symbols painted onto them in what is probably, most likely blood from their victims. So, I was considering going this route. If you have any other suggestions, please let me know.

Undercoat: Chaos Black Primer
Base Coat: Leadbelcher
Layer: Ironbreaker
Tribal Blood Markings: Khorne Red
Wash: Nuln Oil (heavy to give it a very grungy, dirty look)
Highlight: Ironbreaker
Blood Splatter: Blood for the Blood God (for effect)
Weathering: Skavenblight Dinge and Runefang Steel

As always, suggestions are welcome.

Thanks

Allclad Paints for Bare metal effects..
And remember.
Blood stains go brown with age.

Been thinking about doing this for a while so very interested to see how yours turn out. Good luck!
