Brother Captain Andrecus Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I found something interesting at the Warstore. Now, this Viva Metallica style is a really great technique and gives an excellent metallic appearance with a lot of depth. But if you just want quick and easy metallic marines, I recommend this: metallic blue paint which comes from this series of paints. It doesn't give as much depth, but it's fast and easy. I think adding a Badab Black wash would deepen it a bit. They also have metallic orange, red, green, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perry T Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I am going to be painting up a squad of Celestial Lions and I was wondering if it would be possible to paint gold with this technique? I was thinking that over mithril silver, badab black, then various washes of devlan mud and/or gryphone sepia. would this work or would i be better off painting with gold paints? Great tutorial and scheme by the way metcalfedan I would try it out on some marines but i don't have any of the washes yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a link to the post in the Viva Metallica HOH Thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perry T Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 wow thats good. Just what i was looking for. I might give it a gryphone sepia wash over the top to make it look more gold. Thanks a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meltaface Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Has anyone used this technique on vehicles other than dreadnought? I've started painting my chapter this way and love it.. But now that I need to paint my Vindicators and I'm not sure if it will look good or should I paint it "the normal way". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lacrymon Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 In my experience, metallic reds work better with a golden base, it avoids the pinkness that going with silver gives. Only ever seen it by mixing metallics and colours rather than washes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daismith906 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Has anyone tried this technique using just metalic silver as the basecoat/ primer 1st? If so what was the result like? Humbrol do a metalic silver spray which im thinking of using. Also has anyone tried replacing the mithril silver with a darker metalic such as boltgun metal?

Captain Belzakare Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 yellow work or not? yes yellow would work if done right. may try some practice things first. like a random bit painted yellow and go from there. each wash would do something different though. i did something similar for my imperial fists. i also did something similar for swords and talons for some nids. good luck also thats a sick color and a very nice job on it. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedric Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Has anyone done this on dreads/vehicles and solved the problem with washes on large, flat surfaces becoming blotchy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Kaelgrim Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Just wanted to say I love this method for my Grey Knights and makes painting a breeze. Cedric: I'm planning on picking up an airbrush and using Hawkeye's platinum metal paint with a bit of blue mixed in to mimic the wash effect. Check out awesomepaintjob on youtube to see what that would look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
