How do you do red hair and beards??
What I do is Brown base, reddish brown than highlight with yellow. Must it's more reddish than red. What's your tip?

I prefer blondes...
Anyway, start with Dark Flesh and then blend fiery orange / blazing orange in. For the final highlight, mix a bit of Sunburst yellow with fiery / blazing orange. It worked for my Marauders...

for my Dwarf slayers I started with blood red as an undercoat, then I drybrushed a (good) layer of Blazing orange then (some) Fiery orange (that's the lighter one of the two, right?) and finally a bit of yellow (sunburst, I believe)
It worked pretty good; if you want more layers, you can always start mixing paints for more layers in between...

I did my troll-slayers the same way as RedFang, though with only one color of Orange, and a little white drybrushed over the yellow.

| In my opinion, it depends on the effect you are going for. The methods described above create a blazing, bright orange head (or beard) of hair, which is decent for troll slayers. However, if you're looking more for a redder hair, I generally start with a deep red color as a base, and sucessively add brighter layers of red on top of that. Generally I'll highlight with a mixture of blood red and fiery orange to create a shinier feel to the hair. |

for genuine red/ginger hair (and speaking as a ginger myself) start with dark brown and then mix either small amounts of orange or the dark red to ir (scab or gore.. can't remember which is darker)
red hair is never red or orange, it's nearer brown  |

I do it the other way. I put an orange base and then apply a wash of bright red. The color you want depend on the amount of water you put in your red. That's for bright red head! And then drybrus with orange mixed with yellow to your taste. (sounds like a recipie! )
By the way, what'a red head? I guess you should mail me to explain that! |

For trollslayers "orange" hair try undercoat white, paint golden yellow and then ink it with orange ink - simplest way. To get a little variation between figures, change your yellow, darker and lighter tints.
For red heads, try undercoat white, paint bloodred, and then magenta ink for a smack-in-the-eye red. For a more realistic colour, try undercoating with snakebite leather, heavy drybrush with blood red and then highlighting with a 50:50 yellow/bloodred. |

I do my redhaeds similar to Elan, White undercoat then I dip the brush into the orange paint and then into water, dab a bit of the water off and use the paint like a wash, this will give you a light orange colour. You need varnish after this as the colour will wear/fade quickly. After the varnish it looks fantastic.
