crime fighting hog posted:I may start doing it that way. Templars are supposed to have them gray but it's so boring to look at. I'm thinking of doing them bone washed with sepia because it's my favorite color to paint models in (I secretly wanted to do Deathwing all this time!) None of those look awful. v  vI say let them be unless you really hate the look of them. That or just systematically work through a squad at a time, cleaning up and re-painting bits as you go. Also, I might be able to post a little tutorial for aquila if you're interested. I've got some AoBR models primed up and close at hand. Edit: Wet overbrushing? I'm actually mostly ignorant to the names of painting techniques and just do whatever looks good/works for me. To be honest most of my painting practices would cause most painting snobs cry. poo poo, I only really use white nylon brushes because they're cheap and I don't feel bad about ruining them.

I think overbrushing is like drybrushing, just with more paint on the brush.

Its just using a brush loaded with paint, dragging it sideways across the raised areas.

I dunno, its def got a turq color in it, but its probably mixed with white. That highlighting wont work unless you keep the lines super, super skinny

It's pretty. The paint seems a little thick but that's probably just the ultramacro photo.

If you're looking at the top, it is but thats because of the glue. For some reason I couldnt get it to go together without excessive amounts of the glue, and I realized I missed sanding it off halway through the basecoat.

I cant see how those formulas are right, there is almost no blue in any of those greys and the lines in that photo have a lot of blue in em. Then again, it could just be hosed up photography

That would drop the value a lot. Id mix a touch of hawk turq into the greys, if I wanted to get that effect

I don't know what the blue and green washes are like but the red and sepia are pretty friendly for tinting. Hawk Turq does own though- it's one of the few GW pots I own.

Awright, I'm gonna prime the marine I'm going to be working on right now. I figure I'll do a few tutorials of my styles on things, namely skin, aquilas and maybe Space marine armor or something.

Highlighting black, for me, consists of lots of swearing and the following formula: 1:1 Chardon Granite/Chaos Black Highlight Chardon Granite Edge highlight Adeptus Battlegrey

I've seen guides that just say to highlight the areas the light hits but I always just do all the sharp edges regardless of where they are and then the top of things like kneepads for power armor

Trip Report: The figure's looks pretty good so far but for some reason the lighting on all of my pictures is so blown out you can't really tell what's what.  poo poo. I'll post the final product at least. Trying the turquoise highlight and it looks neat but I'd need to see it on the whole model to really decide. Looks like I'm going to have to finally cave and build a fancy lightbox.

Shading large, flat areas: is it worth trying to do with a wash? Even after taking up the pooling paint, it looks uneven and streaky. Am I better off just painting the shadows in without thinning the paint to a wash?

I haven't experience with those, but you should know that Chapterhouse Studios is about to go into production of their own bioblades - honestly both versions look good, just wanted you to know about the choices!
