Some of the names help colorblind people pick the right color even if they might otherwise have issues differentiating them. Like my giant box of crayons I had as a kid, they’re labeled with descriptive names, which helped me immensely. That’s not to say there isn’t a “blue” or a “red.” In fact, there are several versions of various colors included in each kit. The kits we got happened to be Citadel paints, so the colors were all themed from the Warhammer universe. The kits were for different steps in the painting process, which helps beginners like me ease into the process. We then made a trip to our FLGS and picked up some starter kits. My wife had previously bought some of their paints and brushes, but we didn’t have a wide selection. …014/07/og-troll-hag-1.The class introduced me to Citadel’s paints as that was what the instructor always used. Again starting with the base color, washing it with Agrax Earthshade and then applying lighter and lighter Highlights on the edges using the base color and Ushabti Bone. If I like to paint dead wood I alternate between Steel Legion Drab (lighter version) and Gortor Brown/Dryad Bark (darker). You can see the final result if you look at the vines between the Dreadsaurians toes on the left side (sorry, I don`t have a better close up) If you would like to do a more "juicy" version of a tree (jungle etc.) I am using Mournfang Brown -> Agrax Earthshade -> Mournfang Brown -> mixture of Skrag Brown and Ushabti Bone (3:1) -> mixture of Skrag Brown and Ushabti Bone (1:3) or Screaming Skull or even Ceramite White To answer your question about Bugman, I think this how it was done.Īs a reference you can see the result on these pictures (dont mind the big barrel, the color didnt really stick to it and I was kinda rushing the job in the end )) XV88 -> Agrax Earthshade -> XV88 -> XV88 mixed with Ushabti Bone (3:1) -> mixture of XV88 and Ushabti Bone (1:3) as final highlight for things like knotholes etc. The rest works, atleast for me, pretty much always the same.įor example to get a lighter, tone I would start using following colors: The base color is in my opinion more or less the most important part as it creates the base setup of how it should look in the end. It really depends on how dark or light you want to color wood.
