How to Paint Bloodletters - Commission

Some more Commission work - Fantasy Bloodletters

Here's how I went about painting them. Apologies, no step by step photos for these guys (was on a deadline)

1. Flesh - Mechrite/Mephiston Red (Khorne Red is also appropriate)

2. Fur, Shafts of Axes, Satchels etc and the Base - Calthan Brown (GW's conversion chart tells me the new one's Mournfang Brown, but that seems much too red)

3. Metal - Leadbelcher

4. Gold - Balthazar Gold

5. Horns/Bone - Rakarth Flesh

6. Drybrush Fur and Base - Rakarth Flesh (to mix it up a bit you can also try grey fur - drybrush Dawnstone over the Calthan Brown for that grey/brown look, or Dawnstone over Eshin Grey)

7. Wash the entire model (including the base, recommended but not required) - Agrax Earthshade (These guys were done with the last of my Devlan mud)

8. Layer the Flesh - Blood Red (Evil Sunz Scarlet)

9. Drybrush Flesh - Vomit Brown (you could do a Red wash/glaze over this if you want a brighter red)

10. Tounge/ Mouth - Xereus Purple

11. Pick out Teeth and Nails - Screaming Skull

12. Eyes - Pure White (White Scar)

Finish off with a little flock on the bases
