After reading one too many painting guides and being fed up with not
having the right colours for the model I decided something had to be
done about it. I remembered I lesson learned at a very young age, that
is that any colour can be made from the 3 primary colours, red, yellow
and blue and also black and white. I decided to put this to the test
and set out to see if I could make a few colours. I succeeded so I then
produced formula, through many hours of testing for each colour that is
featured in the ROTK rulebook, minus the metallics and inks.
While I have tried to make sure that every colour is as close as
possible I understand there may be some results that do not come out as
expected. I have tested the paints once myself since doing them, and
they have also been tested by another person, many thanks go to
Silverscott for doing this.
Unfortunate other paints cannot be substituted for these easily as
the formulas will be wrong. I would not recommend you use this chart to
mix every colour you need, as the paints tend to dry out quickly when
mixed so add some water to any paints you do mix.
Here is an example of how to use the mixing charts…
If the colour does not come out as expected (I find it is good to
keep a sample of the colour so you can check it, or alternatively check
with the paint list in the Return of the King rulebook) then if it is
too light add a bit more of the darker colour, and if it is too dark
add a bit more of the lighter colour.
