40KHW1: Daemons of Khorne by Lawnor

Rather than write them down as I go I thought I’d list my recipes here up front.  Then when I’m painting I’ll be more likely to update with WIP shots as I won’t feel obliged to describe in detail what I’m doing along the way.  Here are my recipes, as I’ve already used:

All paint schemes assume a zenithal preshade, unless I say otherwise.

Red Daemon Flesh

Highlight 3: Foundry Nipple Pink Shade

Highlight 4: Foundry Nipple Pink Base

Highlight 5: Foundry Nipple Pink Highlight

A Glaze of the base colour, or GW Nuln Oil can be used to unify and darken.
