Quick Equivalents

  • Closest equivalent: Blushing Flesh (Green Stuff World) – ΔE 13.1

How to Use Fulgrim Pink

This paint is typically used for:

  • Edge highlighting
  • Base, shade, highlight

Apply it over a suitable primer and build layers gradually. Coverage sits around low, so two thin coats usually give a more stable finish than one heavy pass, especially over a dark primer.

Paint Behavior and Tips

Consider the following when working with this paint:

  • Coverage: low — affects how many coats are needed over primer
  • Dilution: forte — keeping the right ratio maintains flow and prevents brushmarks
  • Interaction with washes and highlights: always run a highlight pass to verify the tone does not shift after drying

A good equivalent should remain stable after shading and highlighting. Test this alternative on the same primer and in the same recipe before switching a whole unit.

Miniature Painting Tips

For best results with Fulgrim Pink on Warhammer and other miniature projects:

  • Use the same primer across the project to keep tonal consistency
  • Test on a spare part before applying to a full unit
  • Compare after shading and highlights, not just the base coat

Even small differences can become visible on a finished miniature. This match may behave differently on textured surfaces like cloth, fur, and metal trim once the full recipe is applied.

💡 Tip

Use Fulgrim Pink as your main layer colour and build it up with thin, controlled coats. It has low coverage. Thin it more than usual. Good companion colours include Pink Horror, Screamer Pink and Pallid Wych Flesh.

Do not force the basecoat into an NMM-style finish. It behaves much better in a standard layered workflow.
