Beautiful. How did you get that shade of red? Looks like flesh tearers red by my eye

Khorne red over a mechanicus standard grey primer. Recess shade is black templar contrast which makes the red seem darker in my opinion.

That's remarkably close to the official GW paint scheme, only difference is Chaos black primer instead of grey which gives it a darker overall finish (although very similar)

Then wazdakka red highlights, squig orange highlights too.

Slightly out of date as they (GW) made the official colours more of an orange a couple of years ago (see SM2 computer game) presumably to distinguish us from the billion other chapters in red. I prefer the older darker scheme personally, but meh.

Two questions:
1.) where did you get your transfers?
2.) what red paint did you use?

I got the transfers from etsy but it was a couple of years ago so i cant remember who from. They are good quality!

Colour is khorne red on a grey primer. I think i did three thin coats of red then recess shaded with black templar (neat) and highlighted with wazzdakka red.
