This is a general collection of hair colour recipes for any gaming system. I will endevour to update it with new colours as I find what works for me.
Black Hair (Blue Tone)
- Basecoat with Abaddon Black .
- Pick out hair strands with a 1:1 mix of Abaddon Black and Kantor Blue .
- Mix some Kabalite Green into the previous mix and selectively highlight curved edges.
- Now mix in some Fenrisian Grey and pick out an even smaller area.
- Finally, use pure Fenrisian Grey to very selectively highlight curved edges where the light would hit.
Black Hair (Warm Tone)
- Basecoat with Abaddon Black .
- Pick out hair strands with a Rhinox Hide .
- With Dryad Bark , selectively highlight curved edges.
- Now mix in some Wraithbone and pick out an even smaller area.
- Increase the amount of Wraithbone in your mix and very selectinly highlight curved edges where the light would hit.
Brown Hair
- Basecoat with Mournfang Brown .
- Wash with Agrax Earthshade .
- Mix Lugganath Orange into the Mournfang Brown 1:3 and pick out strands of hair.
- Increase the amount of Lugganath Orange in the Mournfang Brown to about 1:2 apply smaller highlights within the last stage. I find it effective to start to create a "halo" of highlights around the top of the head.
- Finally, make an equal part mix of Lugganath Orange and Mournfang Brown , make these highlights very small and use this colour sparingly.
Dark Brown Hair

- Increase the amount of Wraithbone in your mix and very selectinly highlight curved edges where the light would hit.
Blonde Hair

- Wash with Agrax Earthshade .
- Mix some Ice Yellow into your XV-88 (about 1:2) and highlights strands of hair.
