thanks for the feed back.
As for the black, black templar is almost without Contrast when applied, so one could either add Contrast medium, or in my case add I think, it was garganta fur – to give a sort of reddish brown tinge, which I find is great for felt hats, or black gaiters, also then the contrast is obtained easier, maybe sometimes one has to add a second layer at those parts where a shadow effect is desired.
For the boots, to create a sort of a bit dusty effect, black templar and gryph charger grey, while for cartridge boxes black templar and space wolves grey.
There isn't any subtlety of applying paint, I try out how the flow and dilution is on the figure holding cup (of an old plastic bottle) – which is primed as well – in case I don't like, either contrast medium or also a bit water is added.
As for the blue, yes a mix of leviadon blue and ultramarines blue, was not content so with the result and added a bit artist water colours Prussian blue.
Don't be afraid to experiment and mix those paints with each other to achieve the desired effect.
AWI – miniatures, cannot see a reason why they shouldn't work, the red seems to be easier to handle than the dark blue.
For the red, I used in this case just out of the bottle blood angles red – one could also add a bit gryph hound orange, just according to taste.
It is almost like a cooking book, you have to find out eventually how you like the colours – I can only describe my way which may no suit your taste.
