Hi people ! I'm trying to figure out which would be the best coulours to use to make the following schemes quickly :



Here's what I deduced :

-Red Corsairs
Base : Mephiston Red, Abaddon Black, Retributor armour, Caliban Green
Shade : Agrax Earthshade.
Dry brush : Mephiston Red.
Layer (eyes) : Moot Green

-Death Shadow
Base : Mechanicus Standard Grey, Incubi Darkness, Mephiston Red
Shade : Nuln Oil
Dry Brush Dawnstone.
Layer (eyes) : Evil Sunz scarlet.

-Dragon Warriors.
Base: Abaddon Black, Jokaero Orange, Caliban Green
Shade : Carrobourg Crimson
Dry Brush: Ryza Rust,
Layer (eyes) : Moot Green

And which one of these three do you prefer ?

Thanks for you tips and comments !

Here's how I'd do the schemes, with each stage in order.

Red Corsair:

Base - Mephiston Red
Shade - Agrax Earthshade
Brigten up parts painted Mephiston Red with the same colour, avoiding where the shade has settled
Drybrush - Kindleflame
Base soft joints and trim Abaddon Black and gold decor Balthasar Gold
Shade gold parts Agrax Earthshade
Layer gold parts with Ghenna's Gold

Death Shadow:

Base - Incubi Darkness
Shade - Nuln oil
Brighten up Incubi Darkness in the same manner as with the Red Corsair
Drybrush - Stormfang
Base Robes/soft joints Abaddon Black
Drybrush - Dawnstone

Dragon Warrior:

Base - Jokaero Orange
Shade - Agrax Earthshade
Brighten up Jokaero Orange
Drybrush - Hexos Palesun
Base soft joints Abaddon Black


Doing it in those orders means you have less cleaning up to do after the drybrush stage

Also a neat little trick for doing eyes; paint a small amount of White Scar in the centre of each eye, then fill it in with some glaze to produce a glowing eye much faster! I'd recommend Waystone Green for the Red Corsair, Bloodletter for the Death Shadow, and Lamenters Yellow/Waywatcher Green for the Dragon Warrior

Hope this helps you out

P.S. I like the Death Shadow most

Thanks for you help !
