Picking up from last post where both armour and bases were based with a single layer (
Macragge Blue and
Scorched Brown, respectively).. Since then quite a bit has happened :D
First the armour plates were washed with
Drakenhof Nightshade for shading effects. Secondly, the bases were finished with successive layers of drybrushing (
Calthan Brown followed by
Bleached Bone).
I've also finished the guns which I'm painting separately until the final highlighting. Metal areas are painting with
Leadbelcher and gunstraps with
Scorched Brown. All elements are then washed individually (blue, black and brown).
To paint the larger gold elements (chest sigil and shoulder rims) I've followed the advice of Ron on
http://fromthewarp.blogspot.dk/ and based with a light warm brown (
Calthan Brown) before painting
Shining Gold on top. This allows for a single thin application of the metal paint, which leaves a smoother finish.
Finally, I've started on the remaining smaller elements such as belt and pouch (
Calthan Brown, washed with
Devlan Mud), grenades (
Warboss Green washed with
Badab Black) and purity seals (
Bleached Bone washed with
Devlan Mud)
.
Now all I'm missing is the remaining small outside elements and then some line highlights to make everything stand out a bit more... To be continued :D
Works somewhat halted on my eldar for the moment so much stuff going on that i'm having to juggle I just havn't had time for painting recently... I have gone and ordered a large 72 pait set from vallejo along with the new 6th edition starter set to get some variety to what i'm painting. my friend wants me to paint his defiler for him along with some of his 1000 suns marines too so theres plenty to be doing when i do get round to it. Looking good on the ultramarines? though!!! :D
