Champions of Athel Loren: #14 How Do You Mix Black?
Posted Wed, 24th Jun '09 at 1:00pm by 8people
So yeah, I have no chaos black, which is a bugger. I can't really paint easily without it! Am currently going over all my Autumn models though to try and get a decent flow of colour on them that I like, they're currently the ones that stick out most obviously so am playing with their tone and warmth to get the right combination of colours on them.
Have got hold of Alice who will (hopefully) bring some black down with her and I'll be able to touch up all the undercoats and make some nice darker colours for my models, huzzah!

Did you try brown? I mean something dark like ummmm Bestial Brown? if you want autumnal colours its all going to be based on browns, yellows and reds anyway...just so you know I have no idea if it would work just an idea lol

I need the black because a lot of my models were spray undercoated and areas were missed. I also cannot use the spray because my lungs whine about it too much, so leaves me with hand undercoating parts of models
Also some browns are too light for what I need as well
Can use Scorched or Dark Flesh if I just need to tone down a little. But when doing the crevices in Dryads I'd like to be able to have a black handy.
I will be putting more brown on my Autumn models though probably mixed with a little Catachan to tie it in more
Really need a camera and some photoshop time to illustrate
