Hello people, I am soon starting to paint some Khornate models. I don't want to use pure red (be it light or dark), since I dont really like striking colors. So, I thought I could give them a dark brownish/dark reddish color, with a dark bony trim. For the color of dried blood, I see that Valejo's Burned Cadmium (black red) is good as a basecoat, and then a highlight of Cadmium Red should finish the job. However, it's kinda hard to come across those colors in my local hobby store. Are there any combinations of GW colors that can match the effect? #1 · Nov 22, 2011 Hello people, I am soon starting to paint some Khornate models.

On a serious note, i would go for an even mixture of GW Scab red, and Chaos Black, then highlighted with a more 3/4 mix of Scab to Black, and then just to top it off, straight Scab. Hope this helps in some way, shape of form.

On cloth dried blood is the same shade of brown as the brown used on the US Army Desert Combat Uniform (DCU). #6 · Nov 22, 2011 if you want to darken red, use dark angles green instead of black. but be warned it goes a long way, so be careful on how much you add.
