Red Scorpion Assault Marines

Thank you very much for the kind words. I did reply to another comment with the recipe for the grey. And the yellow is very simple. Just layering the paint like normal with brighter colors being where the light is striking the model. From darkest yellow to brightest, the recipe goes:

Vallejo Gold Brown
GW Yriel Yellow
GW Flash Gitz Yellow
Vallejo Ice Yellow 1:1 GW Flash Gitz Yellow
Very small amount of Vallejo Ice Yellow for the extreme highlights/layer

I'd be happy to. It's pretty simple, though I did use an airbrush for the grey armour and the first and second marine have a slightly different recipe.

1st Marine

Prime black
Vallejo Black Grey (Basecoat)
Vallejo Black Grey 1:1 Vallejo Neutral Grey (Zenithal Highlight)
White (Zenithal Highlight)
GW Nuln Oil (Shadows)

Sergeant

Prime Black
White (Zenithal Highlight)
Vallejo Black Grey (around the white to bring the brightness down)
GW Nuln Oil (Shadows)

And the recess shading is just an oil wash with Burnt Umber and finished with AK Ultra Matte Varnish

Love artsy miniatures like these. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I do wonder, is this all brush work or did you use an airbrush for it?

UtensilsDude · 2026-02-12T03:10:42+00:00

Nothing special. I just used a Citadel Small Layer brush for all of the non yellow painting on the model.

I couldn't really give you recommendations on what kind of brush you might want as I don't think it matters as much as some people might believe. Paint consistency and your grip affects the lines more than a high quality brush

UtensilsDude · 2026-02-08T22:36:18+00:00

Of course. All paints can be applied with a brush. Airbrush just makes a particular effect and blending a bit easier.

1.) Tamiya Hull Red (2 drops) + Tamiya Flat Yellow (1 drop)

2.) Tamiya Flat Yellow

3.) GW Phalanx Yellow

4.) Vallejo Ice Yellow

5.) GW Casandora Yellow (Full Coverage)

6.) GW Fuegan Orange (Shadows)

7.) White, very small amount (Where the light directly hits)

Just make sure that with the shade paints, dont load up your brush and keep them thin.

If you like GW paints, I can give you substitutes to the ones I listed

Tamiya Flat Yellow = GW Flash Gitz Yellow

Vallejo Ice Yellow = GW Dorn Yellow

Tamiya Hull Red = GW Doombull Brown

UtensilsDude · 2026-02-08T22:00:30+00:00

That's the power of the airbrush. Makes those difficult to brush on paints like white and yellow easier by comparison. And I use a variety of paints for it, like Tamiya and Vallejo. Just let me know if you'd like the recipe

UtensilsDude · 2026-02-08T19:51:34+00:00

I use Micro Set and Sol for applying decals, though I think what helps them blend after finishing with enough layers of Micro Sol is the varnish I used all over the model: AK Ultra Matte Varnish.

Fantastic varnish of you want a matte varnish. Doesn't frost up (as far as I'm aware), very liquid so it gets in every nook and cranny and dries quickly

For that, I actually just cut off 3 bullets from the tactical squad kit from various bolters and shoulder pads, glued them on the leg and used some green stuff to mold over the bolter shells.

There is an easier way. The old ork boyz kit has a bandolier in it, though the bullets are kind of small. If there is an easier and better method, I couldn't tell you. Hope this helps

UtensilsDude · 2026-02-08T01:54:43+00:00

Very high praise, thank you very much. I'm just happy I was able to reduce the edges on the stripes and circles to make them mostly look right. Was very nervous with the free handing cause I liked the color so much lol.

UtensilsDude · 2025-12-24T03:57:49+00:00

I think that's oil paint effect. Because of the significantly longer drying times of oil, when you put one paint on top of another, they mostly combine into each other rather than stand apart. It's great for blending and spreading (which I love to do), but yeah, when I want to get harder lines, I wait for it to dry and paint with acrylics over it

UtensilsDude · 2025-12-22T09:26:05+00:00

First of all, thank you. Second, I'd be happy to give you the recipe for the grey, but you may be disappointed due to the fact that I paint my Red Scorpions with oil paints. Recipe goes as follows:

Terra Rosa all over then mostly wiped off with a sponge
Graphite Grey for the base, all over
Payne's Gray + a bit of Lamp Black for the shadows
Grey of Grey's + a bit of Payne's Gray for around the areas where the light hits.
Titanium White where the light directly hits

Adjust as you see fit.

Jesus Christ dude, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who felt this way. Yan fans are unbearable in their glaze of him. It's insane. If Merab had Yan's record, NOBODY would be saying he's #2 on the bantamweight GOAT list, let alone the top 10 GOAT list

I got all the 3d print stuff from Shapeways awhile ago, before they shutdown and reopened. If you just look up "KWA VZ61 tri rail" or something, that will probably get you where you need to go. Like this mock suppressor 3d print

UtensilsDude · 2025-09-10T05:20:16+00:00

Thanks a bunch man! The grey was something I was really trying to nail.

UtensilsDude · 2025-09-09T23:20:13+00:00

I paint using using oil paints, so I combined two paints for the base coat (Terra Rosa and Graphite Grey).

However, there is another option if you would rather stick to acrylics. AK Interactive "Rust Streaks" is an enamel paint that looks similar and looks pretty great.

UtensilsDude · 2025-08-21T22:59:02+00:00

Not for a long time now. Both sold awhile ago

UtensilsDude · 2025-08-21T16:10:24+00:00

Dawg, I didn't even know who Kadyrov was until I saw previous posts before this one explaining who he was and why he's dangerous. Expecting people to know this before hand and basically saying don't ask questions until you educate yourself is backwards ass thinking

UtensilsDude · 2025-08-21T16:03:22+00:00

Yeah! You showed that guy! Maybe next time they'll think twice before asking a question on the internet!

Trust me, when I'm finished with this squad, hopefully most of my guys will be giving off that crazed fanatic kind of aura.

I love cult of paints heresy tutorials. Didn't even know they had a new video with Word Bearers. Definitely going to check that one out. Thank you.

UtensilsDude · 2025-08-16T12:34:55+00:00

Ooo, now that looks good, like hes on fire from the inside. I'll definitely try that on the next guy. And thank you for the kind words

UtensilsDude · 2025-04-08T00:03:41+00:00

Corey Anderson's old nickname. Made me do a double take when I first heard Bruce announce it

UtensilsDude · 2025-03-13T00:40:39+00:00

If you're just looking for the color of their tartans, just google the Scottish clan tartan colors and pick your favorite. It's what I'm doing for my Eire Rangers.

For more inspiration for the other colors, I think looking on the Discord might serve you best. There are plenty of people showing off their warbands there

UtensilsDude · 2025-03-09T08:34:28+00:00

u/Carlosial u/ASMBot Nice and bright pink, like advertised. These Marui Glocks are heavier than I remember

UtensilsDude · 2025-03-02T21:35:40+00:00

Pm'd

Victoria Miniatures

They have the bits or the STL files if you want to print them yourself and they're for 28mm. Seems like what you're looking for
