Captain Antargo Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I am continuing with my army but have decided to add some changes, perhaps a new shade of red, what would you suggest? Again I am sorry for putting this into the black templar forum, I don't think there is a current one Red templar, it would be very helpful if you point it out for me.

Brother Tyler Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Since the Red Templars are a Successor of the Imperial Fists Legion and are not known to be descended from the Black Templars Chapter, I'm moving this over to the Imperial Fists forum. As for the color, what shade of red have you been working with? The red color of the armour in your avatar would seem to indicate a brighter red, similar to that used by the Blood Angels. If that's what you're looking for, I suggest checking some Blood Angels tutorials. The Sons of Sanguinius book (Blood Angels painting guide) suggests the following for red armour: Mephiston Red basecoat Agrax Earthshade wash Mephiston Red layer Evil Sunz Scarlet layer Fire Dragon Bright highlight Ungor Flesh edge highlight Alternately, the Flesh Tearers are painted in a darker crimson. Sons of Sanguinius suggests the following: Khorne Red Nuln Oil Wazdakka Red Cadian Fleshtone Or are you looking to try other manufacturers' paints?

Captain Antargo Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 I have been using Mephiston red, and I would like to stick with Citadel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 My BT Ancient is red. (Inspiration taken from a Blanche image) He's Khorne Red with an all over Agrax wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Tyler Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Since you intend to stick with Citadel paints, I strongly recommend that you get the Citadel Paint App. It's free and can be used on your mobile device to find paint recipes and to keep track of the paints you have/need. You can find more information at Games Workshop's site. I can regurgitate the recipes from the app as I did above, but those paint swatches are guesses. One of the benefits of the app is that is shows what the paints actually look like on a model (they use Space Marine backpacks), so you'll get a much better idea of which recipe works best for the effect you desire.
