Greetings!



So I'm still paint testing here, to figure out how I'm going to paint the rest of my Crimson Fists units. You might have seen my last test, but of course I didn't write down any directions for that one....I'm a moron.



So I've been painting a couple of figures and paint stripping them the past month, until I remembered that I had this fine figure laying around so I thought I might as well paint it.





I used mainly Vallejo colors for this figure, actually I think I only used Vallejo colors :-p





For the Power Armour I used the following colors:





Base coat:

72.019 - Game Color - Night Blue (It's very dark, a lot darker than GW Regal Blue (Or whatever its called now))

Hightlights:





Night Blue (See above)

72.022 - Game Color - Ultramarines Blue

70.902 - Model Color -Azure (Most likely a paint in the Game Color range that match this one aswell)

Painting:





Night Blue base coat Night Blue 6(7):1 Ultramarines blue ratio + a few drops of water to thin it down Azure 1:1 water mix added to above mixture Repeat the above highlight if needed. Depending on how much time you wanna spent. Finish of with a fairly fine edge highlight of pure Azure (probably thinned down slightly) Depending on how much you have highlight it might be needed to tone down the recesses of the armour. I used a black wash to pin wash where needed.

















For the cloak and Fist I used the following colors:





Base:

72012 - Game Color - Scarlett Red





Highlights:

70.909 - Game Color - Vermillion

White (any white will do to be honest, but I used a white from the Vallejo Model Color range)









Painting:





Scarlett Red base Apply black wash, I used Vallejo Model Wash - Black (You could also just do the base coat with Scarlett Red and add drop of black and then continue from there with highlights) Scarlett Red + water highlight Add a few drops of Vermillion to the mix Repeat step 4 if needed. Add a drop of white to the mix for the highest edges.









For the rest of the gear you can use whatever colors you want :-)









Finished figure (Still missing base)

































*Update 25.10.23* - Base Done

So I manged to get the base finished. I should probably have used a 60mm Dreadnought base, but sadly I didn't have one laying around.













Hope you like it.
