AMBS PAINTS RED - PART ONE
Now kiddywinkles, I'm going to show you how I paint red properly. None of this bright and happy rubbish mind you! This is Khador and in Khador we're tough and gritty.
We begin with Scab Red as the base. It's best to apply a second watered down coat for better colour consistency.
Here we have komrade Orsus and his steam powered companions.
Howdid you get that colour over black with Scab red?

It looks a bit more purpley/pink in real life....like Scab Red. lol.
Stick to that way round - since I got together with my now wife, I haven't even managed to put a model together...

I'd better get painting then!
Don't worry, they grow up and love the hobby, look at my mob!
Watching closely..
Oh man, those new Khador models just look amazing. I cant wait to see you finish em off, Ill be following this thread!

Don't wanna go to work today.
Wanna sit n' paint models.
Bah!
Also, I really do wonder if I bought too much Warmachine stuff.
I'm never going to play 1000pts, so Vlad, 2 Destroyers and the Behemoth are kinda pointless.
We'll see how things progress...
The Behemoth is great fun. He can be fun for a 500 pointer or two.

Yeah, the Behemoth is fine at 500, as is the Avatar and Deathjack. Only the Thunderhead really struggles at that level. And 2 Destroyers + Sorscha = Win my friend

So metal I make my own sushi. And then eat it. With green tea. Made from babies.
Done a fair bit o' painting this evening. I was meant to take photos of the red in stages, but...I just couldn't help myself and kept on painting.
Just need to do the final highlights on the juggernaught's red, then I'll photo and compare it to the Scab Red destroyer.
Khador Red Base is RUBBISH! It's not red, it's bright orange.
I may try it on some orange models in the future with Khador Highlight as the second layer.
I feel a Van Saar gang coming on painted in the Yu Jing colours from INFINITY.
AMBS PAINTS RED - PART DEUX!
Last time I showed you how to paint Scab Red (oooooh!), but now I'll show you the finished article. I could have shown it in stages, but I'm a busy man and my camera sucks.
Scab Red base on the left, finished red on the right.
Base coat scab red.
Second coat is Red Gore. Make sure you paint all but the darkest areas. Once again, judge this by the light and it should be made easier on the squarer bits.
Highlight One mix up a pot of 2/3 Red Gore, 1./3 Blood Red. Be careful how much Blood Red you add, as it totally kills the other colour if you use too much. You then begin highlighting the brightest areas with this, namely the edges. The majority of the model should still look very Red Gore.
Highlight Two get some Blood Red, water it down a bit so it's not too bright, then paint on where the highlights are brightest and along the edges. You can layer up the highlights over particularly shiny areas for a great effect, but keep it minimal. Too much highlighting and it'll look orange.
And there you are! One brilliantly rich n red Khador warjack. This also works well on Necrons, Blood Angels and Khorne Bezekers

Whew! Just finished the juggernaught, now onto the Butcher
No photos yet because the camera battery is recharging.
If you wonder why I complain about the camera, it's only got 2 mega pixels

I'm liking your warmachine stuff, will be watching closely
It's terrain time!
First of all, I did a bit of what business boffins call 'outsourcing', known to you and me as 'payting someone else to do it for you'.
As I'm sure those of you with careers can appreciate, I am a busy man, so I paid Gerard Pitt, young lad who lives up the road, to get the Macragge shuttle, slap it on an MDF board, then flock and paint it. Good job he's done too!
Stay tuned for more scenery in the future!
Gerard also made my gaming boards for me...or his older brother did, then Gerard repainted them in the fine grey finish you see now.
I also sprayed up the barricades and cars with Halford's grey primer over a blakc undercoat, followed by a little dusting of Halford's beige for a softer toned finish. Magnifique!
Very nice red. Will you be detailing the terrain a bit more? Especially the barricade.
Where did you get the cars from? They look perfect size just not futurey enough, i know futrey isnt a word but its the most descriptive i could come up with!
