@@wafflesthecat6661 I did something similar on a squad of Death Company years ago, though I found Eshin Grey still a bit too light for my tastes. I ended up using a 1:2 mix of Eshin Grey with Abaddon Black, shaded with a 1:1 mix of Abaddon Black and Nuln Oil (the wash on its own didn't show that well.) After highlighting and other details, they still look really close to black, though still with notable shading. Now they have Corvus Black available, I'm finding that works quite well to get the same effect.

@Zumikito

3 жыл бұрын

You can try it, but drybrush can cause rough surface or "scratches" which would not really work with precise neat highlights,but if you make it look damaged, who knows? You could try glazing over the exposed part or airbrushing it instead

I'd recommend dry brushing models models with these colours if you plan on painting lots of models, it won't look as good but you'll get the desired effect minus the headaches.

what is the sister of battle video you mentioned, please? I can't find it. This is what I want to do with my BT's.

Very cool, i kinda wanted to see you paint the shield 😢

I may sound incredibly stupid for asking this, but if I am not supposed to paint my whole army like this, then how am I supposed to paint it? I would like to stick to the eavy metal style throughout my whole army so what am I supposed to do for infantry or these types of units?

Are you letting each Color Dry before Adding the Next Color..? Also is the Order you mention the Colors in. Is the Order it should be Painted..?

My girl saw this video and now she wants to do this for her Sister's army. But with blue robes. I think its going to look great

"if you don't start with black spray wtf are you doing?" escaping of the pain that is painting white?

I want to edge highlight with red, should i start with Khorne red or other ones?

How are you avoiding your touch ups being textured or thick? I've been starting on the panel lining recently and having trouble getting smooth coverage on small area's, I use a wet pallet.

I just apply thin layers, in case of white it takes even more. You could also try going a little but thicker but spreading it more

Do you use the wet palette while edge highlighting? I’m struggling to get a balance between the highlights being watery on the wet palette, and the paint drying out on the end of the brush in a dot when I don’t use it.

Thunderhawk blue? I have no idea, but maybe once you use fenrisian grey, it will get more obvious. Try one part till the end and I am sure you will get the same result.

Yes, but your initial highlights have to be quite dark red. Starting from simething like khorne red could work better

That paint brush you have looks so sharp you could use it as a weapon. What brush is that ? Was looking at your supplies you use and it says Winsor Newton. It just looks much longer and Sharper then that. Id like to know, PS I love this video your black looks amazing. I dare you to paint ANYTHING in musou black. Try not to get sucked into whatever you paint as it is rumored to have warp energy in it ! Its that dark !

But you gotta do the whole army like this and go insane. Right of passage for chaos black legion to arrive to the table looking insane from edge highlighting and blocking in all the gold trim.
