I'm going to be using Vallejo Paints Game Color, and I need base coats, highlights and inks/washes from their line to pick out. First, here's the dirty white I found and plan to use, courtesy of L0NEW0LF from The Bolter and Chainsword.



"the white was...
undercoated black
basecoat dheneb stone
badab black wash (undiluted)
dheneb stone highlight
50:50 dheneb stone + white highlight
white highlight "

So for the vallejo colors I'm thinking...

undercoat black
basecoat stonewall gray
smokey ink wash
stonewall gray highlight/touch-ups
50:50 stonewall gray/skull white highlight
skull white highlight


For the reds I'm thinking

basecoat scab red
continue to use the smokey ink wash for dramatic recesses,
highlight bloody red
highlight continually increasingly lighter mix of bloody red/white

browns doing the same thing with
beasty brown as base
and cobra leather highlights

Same for the toned seals, just highlighting all the way up to pure skull white.

Finally skin tones... I'm looking to avoid them, but I'm going to make them rather pale, and am thinking some mixture of elf skin tone, pale flesh, and cadmium skin.

black for all the black, with some black/cold gray highlights

and gunmetal metal/chainmail silver for metallic weapon bits.

I prime in black and paint cloth with scab red and armor adeptus B.grey, highlight with black and boltgun metal as nessisary and wash with more black.
It ends up with a tasty, but muted warm/cool contrast.

Looking forward to your finished product!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224718/478598.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224718/478598.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224718/478625.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224718/478625.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224718/478675.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/224718/478675.page GMT
