I add some GW Dark flesh to the shade (A) and that gives a nice base colour to start with.<br /><br />@Christopher: I totally agree, you pay for quality and these paints are quality. I also believe that even though their figs are on the high end of expensive, most ranges are well worth it.Rob Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781438806968819357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976940783693915759.post-45009463925680163242011-10-01T14:57:00.904-07:002011-10-01T14:57:00.904-07:00Thanks for the tip!

If the highlight of the Madder triad is too pink, it might be worth stopping at a mixture of B and C. Will definitely give it a try!The Dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08610421577798361733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976940783693915759.post-78359860131533862852011-10-01T14:45:46.621-07:002011-10-01T14:45:46.621-07:00@Rob

Been using Foundry paints for years and still very happy.I think the quality justifies the price in this regards.:-)<br /><br />@Doc<br />I really like Foundry Madder Red as it's a very warm and a nice soft red. It's the red I used for my El Cid and if you haven't tried it then I highly recommend it.<br /><br />ChristopherChristopher(aka Axebreaker)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13205928451375232865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976940783693915759.post-76772558023683303602011-10-01T09:12:30.325-07:002011-10-01T09:12:30.325-07:00Thanks again for the comments guys!
@Axebreaker -...Thanks again for the comments guys!<br /><br />@Axebreaker - I agree that some of the shades and highlights are a bit too sharp on the contrast sometimes but you just need to work that little bit harder with the mixing. Worth it in the end though!<br /><br />@Doc - Yes i highly recommend the new flesh palettes. I picked up a whole host of new palettes from Foundry last week because of their 20% off everything sale. Totally agree with your ideas on reds, i picked up madder red and it was still a bit too pink :( Yes the offwhite colour is mixing through P3 Beasthide and P3 Hammerfall Khaki and then adding white. Bit long winded but it works!Rob Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781438806968819357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976940783693915759.post-20723140889837081832011-10-01T08:24:17.041-07:002011-10-01T08:24:17.041-07:00Beautiful work, Rob!

If the triad works so well, it needs to go on my list. I also love the foundry paint range... It's just a pity they haven't managed to produce a good red triad yet.<br /><br />Is your off-white/canvas the usual recipe? It works very well although it covers a lot of the mini. I'd be afrait it would make it appear bland, but with the colourful stripes it actually makes it more interesting.The Dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08610421577798361733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976940783693915759.post-76620107271060765102011-09-30T06:23:57.747-07:002011-09-30T06:23:57.747-07:00Looks just fantastic yet again!

If the final colour is too strong then I just mix it with the middle tone and that usually does the trick for me.<br /><br />ChristopherChristopher(aka Axebreaker)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13205928451375232865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976940783693915759.post-75708588560921322011-09-30T06:15:06.367-07:002011-09-30T06:15:06.367-07:00superb stuff matesuperb stuff mateFlags of Warhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00296821756835492775noreply@blogger.com
