DA) and I really need something that is close. I add a little black wash anyway so it doesn't need to be exactly as bright but as close as I can get to the original is preferred.

Any ideas? I'm not sure one can mix some up because it is brighter than the reds that I currently have.

Almost forgot. I'm actually using this on orange not red in case that helps.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/539345/5837175.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/539345/5837175.page GMT Need to find a replacement for baal red wash. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/539345/5837319.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/539345/5837319.page GMT Need to find a replacement for baal red wash.

You could look around for the old paint or you could just thin down a regular paint that has a similar colour and use that as a wash. A wash is just watered down paint really. So just thin a paint to was consistency and use that.


dont use paint, use an ink.

try vallejo red ink mixed with a bit of vallejo violet ink to darken, add in water, glaze medium and matte varnish to thin. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/539345/5837979.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/539345/5837979.page GMT Need to find a replacement for baal red wash. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/539345/5838624.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/539345/5838624.page GMT Re:Need to find a replacement for baal red wash. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/539345/5839377.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/539345/5839377.page GMT Re:Need to find a replacement for baal red wash. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/539345/5839503.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/539345/5839503.page GMT Need to find a replacement for baal red wash.

Finally ran out. To my dismay carrobug crimson is not even close(but does have it's own use. I like it for my DA) and I really need something that is close. I add a little black wash anyway so it doesn't need to be exactly as bright but as close as I can get to the original is preferred.

Hope these help ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/539345/5840018.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/539345/5840018.page GMT Re:Need to find a replacement for baal red wash. the Les Bursley recipes and I'm pretty happy with them. Specifically to Baaal red, you can use Liquitex Naphthol Crimson with a tiny, tiny, tiny bit of black (like one drop) to make it i a fairly reasonable match. I say this having made this blend with my own hands, and as someone who paints a dark red army (Blood Ravens).

I'm at work and I don't have my notes in front of me, but from what I recall I'm using a 15cc bottle; filled with 60% matte medium, 20 drops of Napthol Crimson, like 2 drops of Carbon Black, and the rest filled with pre-mixed Flo-Aid and water. Something like that. You'll need to make an up-front investment of around $25 for the supplies, but once done you'll have enough stuff to make buckets of the wash, and you can add additional colors for the cost of a new ink, around $4 or so.

Note that the homemade washes like this will seperate and settle in the bottle quite well, so you also might want to add an agitator. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/539345/5840504.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/539345/5840504.page GMT
