I have just started a chaos army for 40k and want to paint it to a good table top standard or better.I played about 3-4 yrs bak and just didnt have the patience then to do so. lol. My painting knowledge is also limited, i would rather just play the game, but have changed my attitude about this army i want it to look good.

How would u guys suggest to paint the CLEAVED Colour scheme out of the new CSM codex. Wat colours and techniques ect.

Help would b much appreciated

cheers Zac

if you find out let me know cause ive been racking my brain trying to figure it out.



JoD

wil do mate lol.

I'm thinking it mite be a combination of rotting flesh, bleached bone and maybe skull white?

had another look and its almost a very light pinkish colour..

Any thought??

Got an online link?

ill have a look for one mate

Oh wow, I see what you mean.

Hm, I guess it's experimentation time. My gut reaction for the pink is Tentacle Pink and Bleached Bone with a touch of a grey to dull it down a litte?

the main colour looks like it is:
White undercoat>Bleached bone> Rotting Flesh with Bleached Bone 1:2 highlight> Elf Flesh with Bleached bone 1:2 highlight/drybrush> Skull white drybrush

the oil / blood:
Green: Dark angels green and green ink
Red: Chestnut ink and scab red

Bolter:
Black>grey highlights
Boltgun metal >black ink > chainmail drybrush/highlight

NEW GW Foundation paint Dheneb Stone would make a good colour for it. Mix in a tiny bit of lich purple for the base coat. Highlight iwth white.

Funny you say that BWS, I was just looking at the pic and siad to my self, that looks very similar to the lightest grey foundation paint GW do. Typhoid, go and have a look at the foundation paint range, they are worth they're weight mate. I've been using a bit of the foundation paints lately and love them to bits.

For what it's worth, probably Astronomicon Grey (Foundation paint) with a touch of purple added for the base. You probably only need one highlight, add a little white.
