red armour
PDF tutorial
Before we start painting the
miniature, we locate the light
reflections on the armour by
taking a picture of it under
our desklamp. As you can see
in the photos, i have 4 angles
of light on this model. I
primed it in Chaos black as it
has a great shine to it. I have
added a guide for how to
locate light reflections in the
patreon post.
Paints used :
- Abaddon black
- Mephiston red
- Wild rider red
- Evil suns scarlet
We start by basecoating the
armour with a 2:1 mix of
mephiston red & abaddon black.
We now glaze the frame of the light
reflections on the armour, by
adding 1 more part of mephiston
red to the basecoat mix. Add 2
parts of water.
We now take pure mephiston red & glaze
towards the center of the light reflections.
We furthermore add a ½ part of evil suns
scarlet to the mephiston red & glaze the
center of the light reflections.
We now add a ½ part of wild rider red to
the previous mix, & glaze the center of
the light reflections. We furthermore
highlight around the trim & add
scratches by painting thin lines & dots,
with the same mix. Add 1 part of water.
We now add 1 full part of wild rider red & glaze the very center of the
light reflections once again – we also highlight around the trim, where
the light reflection are the brightest. Finally we blackline, in between
the trim & the red armour, with abaddon black. Add 1 part of water.
