Dark Eldar: My Kabalic Warrior Painting Recipe

March 22, 2011 | Reading time: 1 minutes

I’m typically an “open source” guy and I wanted to share my paint recipes for my warriors that I’m working on (the rest of the army should be a derivative of these color recipes).

This is straight out of my TextWrangler .txt document so the spelling probably isn’t accurate 😛 😀

 

Oh yes a big announcement: NOTE THE LACK OF DELVAN MUD!!!
