Dibbler Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) I am painting my Skorne army purple and gold. I found great golds with PP metallic paints, so improvement now comes to the cloth.. The recipe currently is: Blood Red + Breonne Blue (2:1) for a base coat. Citadel Daemonette hide, then adding in white for the highlights. I am almost out of Deamonette, and it is annoying to layer with! Any ideas for a reaper equivalent? A dedicated color for the highlight would be nice as well! Looking at this: http://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/56837-reaper-paint-swatch-poster-with-msp-hd-hgb-ks-paints-rev-6/ I think maybe imperial purple or amethyst purple? :) Any ideas for colors to get for fun, to kickstart some painting motivaiton? :) Edit: heres a trooper BTW: Edited October 13, 2014 by Dibbler 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slendertroll Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 The main part of the cloak? Looks like Imperial Purple to me, yeah. I think Amythist Purple is the highlight for that, but it's not likely to go all the way up to the highest highlight you have there. Just a bit of a white will fix that up though.

Harrek Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 My problem with mixing always comes back to mixing the same color again. I need to take better records of what I used as well as what ratios I used I suppose. But I'm normally stuck in the moment simply trying to get a mixed color I like and often forget what I used and to record it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibbler Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Thanks everyone :) You might as well get the whole triad and save yourself the mixing, too. https://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/Master%20Series%20Triads/latest/09708 Oooh, Triad it is :D (Or the same colors bought seperate, if I order from miniaturemarket, to get some warmahordes stuff as well :) ) <Steeples fingers together>Can I interest you in the possibilities of self-mixing?<Feels unaccountably Mephistophelian> *Naively enters the trap*How do you do that, again? Do you start with a couple of colors only? Seems like a lot of work! I do mix different reapers with this many drops to that many, tho.
