Hey guys, today I thought I’d show an old Khorne Great Brass Scorpion that I worked on way back in 2012.
Back then I was really heavily influenced by the Forge World Imperial Armour painting books. I still really love these two books and I would really like Forge World to release a third book, which I’m sure will at some point. For the Scorpion I copied a painting guide for it from the second book. The paints used are mainly Tamiya, something which at the time was completely alien to me as I mainly only ever used GW and Vallejo paint. Tamiya paints have a really nice quality about them, especially when using them via a airbrush. I also put some other photos below of some Khorne models that I painted around that time. What do you guys think of Tamiya paints ? And have any of you given the Forge World painting books a look?

The books are great. Literally two of my favourite books. Great photos and advanced modelling techniques. Highly recommend both of them.
Yes, those books are fantastic.
so, how to luscious red?
I believe it was a steel followed by a deep red then followed by a clear red.
Scorpion is very cool =)
Don´t own the books, although I have planed for a year now more or less to buy them :p
