Lord Captain Sam Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 This is a reposting of a summation made in another thread in PCA General about painting. I thought I'd bring it over here for comment from Vet Wolf Painters. Original Thread Having mediated an evening on painting in general, I have made a tentative plan to use the following treatment on two more Wolves: 1. Flat Black Undercoat 2. Fortress Grey Basecoat (should this be watered down?) 3. Black Wash in recessed areas (should I use ink or badab black? Which gets in the cracks better?) 4. Watered-down coat codex grey on raised areas 5. Watered-down coat codex grey + skull white on raised areas 6. watered-down coat codex grey + skull white + SW grey on raised areas Now, it appears to me that next would come either the detail work (guns, pelts and such) or a SW grey edge highlight. Which tends to work better? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180149-painting-wolves/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
DV8 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Personal preference really. I tend to save any edge highlighting till last because if I find I have to touch up the armor, I don't want to then have to go back and re-do the edge highlight again (mainly because I use different sized brushes and don't enjoy having to constantly switch back and forth).

DV8 this. i find its more time saving to do all my highlights at the end purely due to touchup work and the like.
