I was wondering what Vallejo paints one might use to achieve results like these:



I'm an old fart by 40k standards, and this is what Blood Angels looked like "back in my day."

It's a very orange red, but still red. I ask about Vallejo specifically because I've become rather reliant on airbrushing more troublesome colors than the tedium of layering with a brush, and oh how I loathe trying to use GW paints in an airbrush with the absence of nice, convenient dropper bottles. Plus the range is bigger, so that's a plus. I however don't have a Vallejo retailer nearby, and you can't really count on color swatches on a computer monitor, so I'm left with the option of reaching out to you fine folks.

As an aside, I'd like to know not just the matching paint for the basic color, but colors to use for zenithal highlights, zenithal shade, and edge highlights if possible.

If you're airbrushing highlights, mix the Bloody Red and Orange Fire; those minis were originally edge-highlighted, and most of the colour is the base Blood Red; airbrushing "area highlights" will make the whole model look more orange, by comparison.

(by the way, those are "new-fangled" Blood Angels to me; they should use terracotta as a base colour and be a brownish-orange colour )]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/748793/9788736.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/748793/9788736.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/748793/9789882.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/748793/9789882.page GMT
