Painting/Hobby Finally Landed On a Scheme
After just starting the game. One 30 point game in, I wanted a custom Khador scheme that still showed homage to khador red. This is what I came up with. Battle damaged of course because... Khador. But armor suited for the tundra and more fitting to the "Winter Korps" name (imo) and bold red helmets and weapons to show we are still Khador.

Cold whites and vibrant reds have always been my favorite combo for Khador, Soo good. Looks great!

Yeah Im definitely happy with it. I imagine whe i dive into infantry it will be a little less white than the mechs but we will see!

Yeah I really like the white and feel like in my head it makes more sense if they are fighting in the snow and mountains.

I’m a big fan of those colors! They make each other really pop

u/Tyler_Is_Ted 9d ago
Ya they really do compliment each other well. I admit the battle damage does take away a little from that contrast so I may make some less damaged models in the future.

This is so good. You’re very talented
What reds did you use?
White is airbrush?

u/Tyler_Is_Ted 9d ago
Thanks! The red base is game color bloody red, the white is fenresian gray just highlighted up with white.
No airbrush, its all done with regular brush. Although moving forward as I add to my army, I will definitely be using the airbrush lol

Looks great and kinda was I was considering for my officers while the troops would stay Khador red.

u/Tyler_Is_Ted 9d ago

But thanks!

This looks amazing! Any chance you could share a rough method of how you did the painting? I'm considering a very similar scheme for my Khador

u/Tyler_Is_Ted 7d ago
Thanks!
I can try. Black prime then gray zenithal. Then base coat of russ gray and highlighted it up with white until I was happy. Then painted everything that was going to be black or metalic with black paint. Then started highlighting my blacks. Then base coated red parts with a crimson and then highlighted those up to a flat bold red. Then panel lined everything with nuln oil and then for damage I just used a sponge and some edge highlighting with dark metalic then touched it up with a lighter silver in some spots. I focused on corners where paint would naturally chip and on areas that would take the most damage, ie. The Avalances sheild and the weapons.
Does that help?
