| Post subject: | Orange Hair |
I'm planning on repainting all of my dwarf warriors. For my rangers I decided to stick to brown, I just couldn't picture an old grey haired dwarf being a ranger, but since I've got two boxes of dwarf warriors I wanted to add some more variation when it comes to their hair. In addition to the normal brown and grey I also wanted to add a few more colours like the orange hair I've seen on a few dwarves. My problem is that I'm not sure how to do it. Has anyone done this before or have any ideas on how to paint realistic looking orange hair? |

If you can find an article about painting Warhammer Dwarf Slayers somewhere then that might be helpful. I'm not sure if their orange hair looks that realistic though... A painting article for Murin and Drar on this website also has some info about painting orange hair: http://www.one-ring.co.uk/phpBB2/kb.php?mode=article&k=316 Hope this helps.

I basecoat the hair it with bleached bone and then painted over with bestial brown. This makes a darker orange than in the article above. You could perhaps use both these methods for even more variety. |

I've used scorched brown -> bestial brown -> fiery orange and it works really well. You just need the smallest bit of the orange to pull it off. If you do a little too much, a bit of devlan mud wash will tone it down a little. |

Miguel's (MacGothmog) article on painting a Dwarf king had the best way of painting *auburn* hair I've ever seen. It's right here: http://www.one-ring.co.uk/phpBB2/kb.php ... icle&k=295 You obviously don't have to do it the same as this, but I think it's very helpful personally ie which colours etc. |
