Games Workshop Citadel Base: Balthasar Gold

Product Information

In step 4 above switch the Vallejo metal color gold and Vallejo metal color chrome mixture to Scale 75 cintrine alchemy. Umber Ink Wash (this is a custom mix of Umber Ink 1:1 with matte medium + about 4 drops of flow improver to mimic contrast paint- Sub Contrast Wyldwood) Beanith: Let’s see if I can finally understand this. You’re telling me that with the recent launch of Warhammer Mortal Realms in the Land Downunder where I end up with a hundred Chainrasps for whom I have grand plans for, I didn’t actually end up with a bunch of Primaris Veterans in bathrobes to shove deep into my Pile of Shame Cairn of Opportunities waiting for the day I accidently start a Dark Angel army and I find myself needing a bunch of Primaris Veterans in bathrobes to tag along with my beloved biker/land speeder army which I will totally one day paint and it will be awesome and Greg and I will be the best of frie… ahem. The Ultramarines Legion paint scheme during the Horus Heresy era was primarily blue with gold and white accents. The main color of the armor was a bright blue, achieved through a base coat of Macragge Blue followed by layers of Calgar Blue and highlights of Lothern Blue. The trim and other details were painted in a bright metallic gold color such as Balthasar Gold or Retributor Armour, and white accents were added to denote rank or specialization.

It looks like a Christmas card drunk on Trappist beer, the festive season taken to magical extremes. Sloping rooftops are white. The ground is white. But not all the people are white. As WH Auden wrote in his poem Musee des Beaux Arts, the old master Bruegel makes every incident, however tumultuous, part of a much wider canvas full of everyday, unremarkable events. Here he shunts the adoration, supposedly the main action, way off to the left and even keeps it partially concealed. Three foreign kings? The birth of the Messiah? It’s just part of village life, with Balthasar just part of the European scene, his presence accepted and little noticed. Amulet of Sea Gold - An ancient Elven heirloom unearthed by Balthasar in the ruins of one of the abandoned colonies of the Elves on the coast of Estalia. The amulet grants Balthasar a modest resistance to magic. [5a]The Fall of Damnos, Dead Men Walking, and The World Engine all show Necrons as antagonists, but do so in a strong way, with Dead Men Walking considered the strongest of the bunch. I wanted a nice dark green here so I dug out the Contrast Ork Flesh and once again I smooshed on some Base Wraithbone on the face plate. Gun Metal: A dark silver, similar to GW’s Leadbelcher, but while Leadbelcher has a nuance of oily brown, Gun Metal is slightly more neutral, cooler silver. My recommended highlight colour: Plate Mail Metal.

Step 9: Wash the whole thing with Nuln Oil. Once that dries, drybrush it with Celestra Grey. Credit: Robert “TheChirurgeon” Jones Do a final reflex highlight with Citadel Wild Rider Red. We didn’t break any new ground with this red recipe, but I’ve always thought it looked great.Balthasar Gold is a warm-toned paint, so it pairs well with cool-toned colours like blue and cool-toned colours like red, creating a striking contrast. Ultramarines Blue, Calgar Blue and Mephiston Red, Wild Rider Red are analogous colours which allow for a balance and harmony between the colors I am aware that there are companies that make "identical" versions of the old gw colour line, IE vellajo game colour. I have tried the Vellajo game colour metallics thought there were mediocre at best, other agree. I have not had any experience with model colour metallics. I have tried the model air metallics, and they are quite good, but cannot fill all the roles of the old GW metallics.

Once that’s figured out, I based everything that was going to be metallic in Leadbelcher thinned with Lahmian Medium, and everything Canoptek or an energy blade in Caliban Green thinned with water. Previously when working on Canoptek stuff I’ve used Caliban Green Spray (now out of production), and what I found here was that CG paint alone was a little bit more of a vibrant green than I really wanted for the base on the legs. Here I salvaged it by darkening down with a wash of Dark Angels Green contrast, for all later models I used 2:1 Caliban Green/Incubi Darkness, which gave what I wanted straight away. Once both are applied, I then apply a layer of thinned Ironbreaker to the silver as well. Do a pin wash with a dark brown oil paint (Van dyke brown or burnt umber) heavily thinned with odourless white spirit thinner in the recesses. Use a synthetic round No1 brush. Let it dry for an hour and clean up any dried pools of oil wash with the brush damp with pure white spirit. I love the ostentatious colour scheme of the Nihilakh Dynasty, not afraid to show off their riches on even the lowliest Necron Warrior. In their earliest incarnations, Necrons were a simpler force, consisting primarily of robots clad in metal bodies with little adornment. As the faction has been revised, they’ve become more elaborate, and subfactions that call for different color schemes have emerged, creating a good deal of variety in the way you can paint them.

Considering the age of this model, basecoat the area with my everlasting pot of Citadel Mechrite Red. If you don’t live in 2009, I think that Khorne Red is a decent substitute. The Horus Heresy boxed set is nearly upon us, and one question that I have seen cropping up again and again online is “Can I use any Horus Heresy paint schemes for my Space Marines that I want to?” This question generally comes from Warhammer 40k players who are very used to painting Space Marines in any color scheme they want. After all, in Warhammer 40k there are 1000 Space Marine Chapters, and you can really make up any chapter you want with any color scheme that you want, and you can consider it game legal.
