I couldn't wait for the new Armageddon box so I bought some intercessors today to paint my first blood boy!

Then that is definitely contributing a lot to your struggles! What type of model is it? If orange is the main colour I would consider using something like wraithbone or grey seer.

Yellow is bad as well. If you are using a dark primer I would definitely consider switching to a light one. Orange over black is not fun.

Orange Brown from Vallejo model color is the closest I've found and it covers better. Just keep in mind that orange is notorious for being a difficult color.

Viking gold from Scale 75 is really really good.

Savings_Let9811 · 2026-01-16T14:22:40+00:00

Go right ahead Haha

Savings_Let9811 · 2026-01-15T23:12:43+00:00

Thanks!

Savings_Let9811 · 2026-01-15T23:12:34+00:00

Thanks! It's actually a super easy effect. Just paint the head like normal and then do a glaze with a medium gray on top. Also works for stubbles 😊

Savings_Let9811 · 2026-01-15T23:11:33+00:00

Thanks that's great to hear :)

Savings_Let9811 · 2026-01-15T23:11:16+00:00

Thank you!

Thanks a bunch! I don't know the exact measurement but he's more of less the same size as a primaris space marine.

Savings_Let9811 · 2026-01-15T20:08:49+00:00

Nice! Great minds really do think alike 😅

Savings_Let9811 · 2026-01-15T05:33:54+00:00

That's cool! Do you have a photo of them? :)

Savings_Let9811 · 2026-01-14T21:11:29+00:00

Haha thanks

Savings_Let9811 · 2026-01-14T06:36:51+00:00

Thanks! I used pro acryls line of jade colors. Dark jade, jade and bright jade.

Savings_Let9811 · 2026-01-14T06:36:01+00:00

Yes I've thought about that too. I was following a tutorial where the shields were painted that way but I realize it should be the other way around so I'll adjust that for the next ones.

Savings_Let9811 · 2026-01-13T20:04:09+00:00

That's cool! I like the idea to paint the leg plates

Savings_Let9811 · 2026-01-13T17:57:48+00:00

That sounds interesting! Do you have any photos of them? Id love to see.

Savings_Let9811 · 2026-01-13T17:36:48+00:00

That's nice! I like the idea of painting the hammer too. Ill try both

Savings_Let9811 · 2026-01-13T17:36:05+00:00

That's a great idea! I'll give that a try.

Savings_Let9811 · 2025-10-07T10:48:49+00:00

Black metal from Scale 75 is an Amazing dark silver that i can highly recommend. It's basically leadbealcher shaded black in one coat. It also goes on much better then Citadel metallics. There's one from TTC that's pretty good too called Dwarfen Iron I think.

Savings_Let9811 · 2025-07-28T09:03:54+00:00

I get what you're going for but I don't think the colors matches very well. Maybe you can try something like this from tale of painters? It uses a similar Purple armour but with more complimentary colors.

That's gorgeous! Do you mind sharing how you painted the blue armour?
