				<title>Help! Painting Word Bearers</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ In painting my first army and I decided I would paint them as word bearers. Ive painted now a total of 3 models ( 1 champ, 1 <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(22);'>CSM</span> and my Landraider) and my colors arent coming out quite the way I was hoping.<br /> <br /> My paint scheme so far has been:<br /> <br /> Base layer of Mechrite Red, then a thin layer of scab red, and the trims and such in boltgun metal. I then wash it with devlan mud. <br /> <br /> But the models are coming out too purplish and dark. I was trying to get the color they are shown in the codex.( page 70? i think). SO my question is if anyone can give me some direction to achieve this? And also how I should wash the models, I read on another post that washing with red and then a thinned down Devlan Mud is my best bet.<br /> <br /> <br /> Thanks for the help.<br /> <br /> <br /> ok here are the pics, had to take em off my phone but its just to give a general idda of how the color is turning out (also i failed at the wash on this one)<br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://img706.imageshack.us/i/myland1.jpg/" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/3711/myland1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://img717.imageshack.us/i/myland2.jpg/" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/4341/myland2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://img143.imageshack.us/i/myland3.jpg/" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/131/myland3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /> <br /> ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Hmmm.... what your doing sounds like it should be making a nice red but indeed, try giving it a red wash first and a slightly thinner mud wash. If this fails, you could use a black wash to just shade dark areas and make something close to but more gradual than black lining.<br /> <br /> Hope they work out and post up some pics when you can, it'd be great to see them ^^<br /> <br /> <br /> ]]></description>
