Games Workshop Citadel Pot de Peinture - Layer Cadian Fleshtone

Product Information

This tutorial assumes you have a good understanding of how to paint. Underneath each picture are the corresponding instructions. Each step shows the paint(s) I used during that step. Drybrush a mid-silver (it doesn’t matter which one; I used the old Citadel chainmail but these days I’d use Army Painter Plate Mail Metal) The armor plates get edge highligting with Sotek Green, completing the classic Drukhari look, albeit with a more blue tint.

Make up a 4:1 Carroburg Crimson:Khorne Red mix and then thin the hell out of it. You want it almost transparent. Then get some on your brush, wipe most of it off, and carefully glaze anywhere that’ll be flushed (eyes, nose and mouth are the key ones). You can just use Khorne thinned way way way down, but I think carroburg gives a nice tone to it. Then re-highlight with your last flesh mix just on the most raised parts. Xereus Purple– Xereus Purple is a deep, rich purple paint that can be used to create shadows and add a sense of depth to the Cadian Fleshtone paint. Purple is a cool color that will create a contrast with the warm flesh tone, creating a sense of balance. People come in all shapes, sizes, and colors and the warriors of the Mortal Realms/41st millennium are no different. In this article, we’ll cover the basics of human skin in a variety of different shades, including the principles behind color and different techniques for giving flesh to your tabletop warriors. Note that in this article, we’re only covering regular, bog standard human skin, and any races that have similar skin, such as Aelves, Aeldari, Dwarves, Squats, Scrunts, and whatever else. If you are a transhuman/magic space elf/extragalactic existential horror you can do pretty much whatever you want, but rest assured that we’ll be covering more fantastical races in future installments of How to Paint Everything. Why bother?In Kill Teamthe Sisters recently received rules in White Dwarf for their own kill teams. We’ve written about them and our thoughts on playing these kill teams here.

If you’re keeping things grounded, a general rule of thumb is to think that, if you removed all of the colors but your accent color and the brown in the mix, would the color still read as brown? This means you can mix in a tiny bit with your lighter skin tones, while as you get darker (and thus have more brown), you can get away with adding a lot more color into the mix. For example, I love the tone I get mixing purple into brown to almost reach a plum color, while if you put any noticeable hint of purple into a very pale skin tone, it would look quite odd. Since Cadian Fleshtone paint was created to portray human flesh, it was decided to list these particular armies because they are all human factions or have human features in the Warhammer 40k universe. These armies are some of the most widely utilized by both players and painters in the Warhammer 40k universe. The Cadian Fleshtone paint is a versatile paint that may be used to paint a variety of various factions because it can be used to create a range of skin tones. Cadian Fleshtone Colour Schemes & CombinationsZIVth has probably told you a whole lot of stuff about the specifics of melanin and the biology of skin. I don’t know all that much about those things. I did, however, take some serious art classes and really enjoyed portraiture, so I had some experience with portraying skin, and mixing colors, as well as some of the theory about how light interacts with your skin. Earlier, I promised to talk about how light is typically a white color and what this means for skin. Now is the time, and I will try to make it as understandable as possible (and I am sure my understanding is grossly simplified to start with.) The light making up what you see when you look at skin is actually made up of light that come from three different things occurring on and inside the skin. You don’t need to worry about this too much unless you’re doing Golden Daemon level work, but a basic understanding can help inform your color choices when working with skin. For a basic example, consider a less extreme example of the weird sea elf colors in Games Workshop’s color range. By taking a touch of grey and mixing it into your flesh tone, then highlighting up from there using flesh tone (or even white, depending on the look you want to achieve), you will get a skin tone that is much more desaturated than one that has more red/orange tones in it. Mix the Mournfang Brown with Rhinox Hide and glaze again. At this point you should be coverring less than one thirds of it (roughly).

Now add a little dot of White (Scar, or your choice of flat white) and keep going in the same way, until you’re at 1:1 with your starting Cadian:Ushbati mix and your white (that’s 1:1:2 overall). You’re getting just teeny tiny details at this point. The first is light that is bounced off of the skin retaining the color of the source light. In typical conditions (outside, under a blue sky) this is a slightly cool (tinged with blue) white color. Typically, when you’re taking flesh tone and mixing in white to highlight, this is what you’re approximating. On the surfaces where light is shining directly, you get more white showing through. Bring out your base colour Tallarn Flesh [or Cadian Fleshtone or RMS Fair Shadow] and layer over the skin, leaving the recesses dark. The face above is an angry superhuman Space Marine, so we want a lot of contrast to bring out his expression. For female or younger faces, you want to be more subtle and layer the base colour all over the face, just leaving a few key places in the darker colour created by the wash, for example inside the ears, below the eye brows, and where the skin meets other parts of the model.You can then push that further and get a more pallid look, verging on your sea elf colors. Playing at the very edge of what looks reasonable can be a great way to sell something as inhuman. With my Custodes skin, I tend to push towards grey from a flesh tone base, to really push that these are massively genetically altered giant men in golden armor, and you can use a similar effect to emphasize the otherness of eldar or elves. Glaze most of the leather with thinned Mournfang Brown . Use quite a small brush and drag towards edges in rough lines. This should create some extra texture. Add a little Tallarn Sand to the Steel Legion Drab and layer up, leaving the darker tan in the recesses
