I think that he is using only GW paints.. but which ones ?:)

And maybe someone have idea what colors have he used to paint face.. ?

Somehow I've got the feeling these are Vallejo colours.

Start with Scab red to get a good coverage and a solid layer on which the lighter reds will catch better. Or alternetively start with a white undercoat and work with inks...

looks like one of the dark of GW reds (Cant really say which...long time no using) and highlighted to blood red, then shaded with black. (I'd still add very little orange)

If you think that he usues vallejo paints, can you tell me whichc colors ?:)

it dont matter that much...take a dark one, highlight it with a light one, shade it with black.

Im was thinking about adding purple to the base color.. how do you think ?

If you want really bright reds, you can also use a thin base coat of yellow before putting on the red. But it turns out REALLY bright.

Never heard that before! Thanks for the tip!:D
