Black Undercoat -> Warpfield Grey -> Ulthuan Grey. Watered down of course. Layered. And then White Scar for ultimate ultimate highlights.CrAzY424https://www.blogger.com/profile/04046206772087768569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740875544340165673.post-26813433021249209262013-11-14T10:30:12.910+11:002013-11-14T10:30:12.910+11:00Wow, it looks like a hard process but I´m sure it´...Wow, it looks like a hard process but I´m sure it´s totally worth it. I would love to see some examples of your painting to see the final result.

Using greys allows you to avoid using pure white altogether (unless you want to do so for the very final edge highlights). Using Vallejo Game Color, over a grey primer, I will usually start with Cold Grey, then move to Stonewall Grey, and then finally to Ghost Grey (again, you can go to Off White at the very end if you want something brighter). This is NOT a three step process. Rather, I will start with Cold Grey, and then mix in a couple of drops of Stonewall for the second layer, and then a couple more for the third layer, and then Ghost Grey with a couple drops of Stonewall for the next, and then a couple fewer drops of Stonewall for the next, and then finally pure Ghost, and then Ghost with a couple drops of Off White if I'm not happy with the brightness. With each layer, you are bringing the lighter colors our further to the raised areas where light will naturally hit them and leaving the Cold Grey in the recesses, etc. If you are using the GW range, your analogous colors would be Mechanicum, Administratum, Ulthuan, and then a bit of White Scar if necessary). Regardless of how you do it, many, many, very thin (i.e., watered down) layers are the key to getting a smooth finish. And yes, you have to let each layer dry before you apply the next one, and the first couple of layers will look like garbage in their coverage and their blotchiness. However, if you do it this way, you get a lot of control and can blend the various shades of grey very easily. It pays to be patient (or just insane).J.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09580608074523309425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740875544340165673.post-55394878929046102752013-11-14T06:26:09.339+11:002013-11-14T06:26:09.339+11:00I paint white a bit different.

Since i do it this way i'm much faster at painting and it's pretty easy to do.<br />http://img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/wraithscythesp6e3x0yu5j.jpg<br />I chose on purpose not to highlight the gems with shade. But i still need to paint them. :P<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
