Last week, we looked at some of Warhammer TV presenter extraordinaire Emma Robinson’s favourite colours from the new Contrast paints range. Now, we’re sitting down with Emma once more to get her top tips on using the new (and freshly-reformulated) Shade paints . Add smaller highlights, closer to the noce with Evil Sunz Scarlet , mixed with an equal amount of Wraithbone . Basically what Bryan Blaire said. Short of a 'Eavy Metal painter giving a step-by-step, the GW tutorials are the closest approximation. Yeah, the models you've linked are done by the 'Eavy Metal team, who are definitely using more advanced techniques, including mixing paint colours and blending of colours on the models. http://www.acrylicosvallejo.com/en_US/media/e588d28183cec31ffd6dcee6d3718fc3.cms/equivalencias-rev05.pdf

GW's new range matches with the old range are the matches claimed by GW. However, many of the paints do not match very closely at all and some mixing will be required to get close to the original colours. If you are trying to match old GW with new GW, you'd be better just getting Vallejo game color or coat d'arms for the closest match ) In the world of miniature painting, choosing the right colours for your models is an important part of creating a cohesive and visually appealing army. One way to select colours that will work well together is to consider color theory, which is the study of how different hues and shades interact with each other. If you want to add an aextreme highlight to points, mix a little White Scar or an off-white, like Wraithbone into the Ionrach Skin and place specular highlights, sparingly.Skin: Celestra Grey, shaded with Druichii Violet, cleaned up with Celestra Grey, layered with Warpfiend Grey, layered with 1:1 Warpfiend Grey:Pallid Wych Flesh, and highlighted with Pallid Wych Flesh. Hair:Dechala Lilac, Shade with a watered down carrobug crimson via medium and then highlight with a dechala and white scar mix. Genestealer Purple– This dark, muted purple color is a good choice for shading and highlighting models painted with Ionrach Skin. It could be used to create contrast and depth on the models, helping to make them look more three-dimensional and realistic.

Add chip and scrathes to edges with Stormvermin Fur . Id recommend underlining them with the Deepkin Flesh / White Scar from earlier.

Wait – maybe this is the angriest of the new Shades? Berserker Bloodshade is a great way to add a different, slightly redder finish to your miniatures than Fuegan Orange . Go over the withe with Iyanden Yellow , pulling pigment towards the edge. Dont worry if a little goes on the armour around the outside, this will hopesully look like glow. With smaller amounts of 1:1 Dark Reaper and Loren Forest , add fine lines to the deeperst recesses. I'd really suggest playing around with that some until you get the skin tone that you want before digging into your models, either on a sacrifice model or some sprue, etc.

The Citadel Colour paint range gets a truly blue Shade, which works wonderfully with colours such as Caledor Sky on the cloaks and capes of the Lumineth Realm-lords . To celebrate the release of the new Idoneth Deepkin battletome , March’s miniature of the month is a Namarti Reaver , ready to unleash a barrage of arrows to claim souls in the Mortal Realms.* You may have to modify this, play with it a bit, maybe make a mix of Drakenhof Nightshade, Carrowburg Crimson, and Lahmian Medium to shade with instead for a more ruddy, less vibrant shade, or even a mix of Guilliman Blue, Bloodletter Red, and Lahmian Medium. It may also help to mix 1:1 Ionrach Skin:Slaanesh Grey as the base color. You may also want to look at Rakarth Flesh in the mix or some such.Emma: I love Targor Rageshade for really rugged light leathers, and for the tanned skin tones of warriors who roam the open plains of the Mortal Realms. It also looks great in the recesses of Rakarth Flesh for a pallid but wartorn skin tone – ideal for Chaos Space Marines . Highlight hte cloth with chunky lines of Sons of Horus Green mixed with equal amounts of Ionrach Skin . Ionrach Skin paint dries rapidly and evenly when applied with a brush, making it a perfect choice for creating texture and depth to small miniatures. What armies can you paint with Ionrach Skin? Emma: This is a fantastic shade for making things look grimy, but not too dark or green – perfect for the Death Guard . It also looks great over silver metals and light bone colours, and works a treat for the worn gear of Orks and Chaos alike. Love it.
