Bloody Red should map to a non-foundation paint, Blood Red in this case. I haven't used the GW spray gun, but I have used GW paints, and Vallejo paints in my air brush to help base miniatures.<br /><br />GW Foundations work great, the extra pigment really makes these the best for using with the airbrush. Can probably mix it just about 1:1 and get a good coat.<br /><br />Vallejo/GW normal paints are both require a bit less of water in the mix, maybe a 2:1 mix. I've only used the Vallejo once, but it seemed to coat better than the GW colors, but they were different colors and that could be the reason as well.<br /><br />As a side note, I usually mix all my paints with the Future Floorshine/Water Magic Wash solution instead of water. (mostly out of habit anymore, but also because there's bottle of it still kicking around.<br /><br />Try and get B to bring his Nids next club day, I just did his with the Vallejo brown they turned out pretty good.Xzandratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14727954909325918136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914667918658686076.post-69772991857270478652009-06-03T05:03:03.650-04:002009-06-03T05:03:03.650-04:00I prefer Vallejo's reds and yellows over GW...I prefer Vallejo's reds and yellows over GW's. <br /><br /> I use Mechrite Red as a base, and Bloody Red as a main color, and the results are very vibrant without having to put a million layers on the model.Wienashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16756262005166254202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914667918658686076.post-4553271035492855092009-06-03T02:02:55.356-04:002009-06-03T02:02:55.356-04:00I certainly agree Vallejo's line of paints are...I certainly agree Vallejo's line of paints are insanely good. As far as matching color GW does have a blood red although not sure how it would match up to vallejo's. The only Mechrite Red I have is foundation which is indeed a tad bit darker but helps overcome the black primer (if black is used). All in all though incredibly nice paint job with that spray gun. May have to consider it for my Saim-Hann.Guilliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14115075837239513781noreply@blogger.com
