Hey, guys, lets paint our warhammer miniatures hair!

I decided to paint my primaris space marine sergeant hair in blonde!

Step 01

Army Painter primers:

  • Base Primer Matt Black;
  • Base Primer Matt White.

Step 02

Citadel base paint:

  • Bugman’s Glow.

Step 03

Citadel layer paint:

  • Cadian Fleshtone.

Step 04

Citadel shade paint:

  • Reikland Fleshshade.

  • Nuln Oil.

Step 07

Citadel layer paint:

  • Ulthuan Grey.

Result

Well, here’s what I’ve got in the end:

As you see I finished painting base and apply highlights. To be honest it was better to do before painting head because it’s much easier to fix armor color then head.
