Painting Recipe
Whites: They're all experimental and there are 3 types,
each method is listed below...
Left Shoulder Pad (Tac arrow): Black undercoat, Codex Grey,
Fortress Grey, Elf Grey (old Citadel paint line - very light grey
with far less blue than anything GW make today - Coat D'Arms still
make a very similar paint and Vallejo have a number of 'grey' light
greys too). Highlighted with layers of EG/Skull White up to pure
skull white. Gives a warmer finish to the white.
Right Shoulder Pad (Chapter Insignia): Black undercoat,
Shadow Grey, Space Wolf Grey. Highlighted with SW Grey/Skull White
layers up to pure Skull White. Gives a colder, cleaner appearance
to the white.
Left Knee Pad: Black Undercoat, Codex Grey, Fortress Grey,
SW Grey, Highlighted with Elf Grey and EG/Skull white layers. More
of a middle ground between the two extremes, takes a bit more work
though as you need a fair few extra layers.
Iron Snake Blue: I mixed up a custom shade for this guy,
let's call it Iron Snake Blue for convenience's sake. It's a mix
of Shadow Grey, Space Wolf Grey and Rotting Flesh, the proportions
were eyeballed but at a guess it was something like 40/50/10. The
rotting flesh is there to add a touch of green a la the Insignium
Astartes picture. There was also a little bit of Fortress Grey to
lighten the colour and add some grey to the colour. Dunno how much
though, not a lot. This Iron Snake Blue is then highlighted with
layers of Iron Snake Blue/Space Wolf Grey up to plain SWG in the
end.
Red: Vallejo Game Colour Scar Red, highlighted with layers
of ScarRed/ Vallejo Gory Red up to a mix of Gory Red/ Vallejo Bloody
Red.
Insignia Blue: The snake insignia is Vallejo Intenso Azul
(925) highlighted with Intenso Azul/Enchanted Blue layers.
