Bloodcrusher Red Metal

For painting the red armour on this bloodcrusher the stages are all quite quick and easy, there's no detailed highlighting involved as the shadows build the contrast.


First a basecoat of GW ledbelcher:

Then take GW runefang steel and wet-brush over the basecoat. What I mean by a wet brush is like the more common dry brush technique, except you don't wipe the paint off of your brush before moving it rapidly over the uppermost areas of the metal. Doesn't have to be too neat at this stage!

Wash with Agrax Earthshade

Wash with Carroburg Crimson

Next I used tamiya clear red paint and thinned it with isopropyl alcohol (as water makes the paint congeal) I applied this is two thinner coats, as not ensure it didn't go down too thick and block up being able to see the previous shading stages.

From here adding the surrounding details helps make the red pop more. 

Hope this was useful!
