SB's Chaos Army WIP

[sword brethren]

Good work. I've got to say i think your use of metallic is hindering your progress. It looks like you're coating the whole guy in chainmail or mithral and then giving him a wash. While that's a quick dirty way to get models up to table top it doesn't do a kharne counts as justice. I think you should slow down on this guy and try a different technique. You don't have to start over, and all the work you've already put into him isn't lost, it'll work well as a good base coat.

 

If i were you i would try one of a couple different things. Start by finishing up the mettalics with a very heavy wash, but only in the cracks and recesses. Then when he is dry apply two to three thin, smooth coats of boltgun metal only on the armor between trim, and joints. You should be leaving all the angles, cracks, and crevasses dark from the original wash.

 

now you can apply a thicker than average highlight of chainmail or mithril at this step. Only hit the edges or armor with this step.(this can be skipped)

 

The last little bit would be washing the whole model in a thin coat of badaab black or delvan. You can go back and drop some delvan in armor joints if you want to dirty him up, but remember less is more in these stages.

 

Your final step can be hitting your armor edges with a small highlight of chainmail or mithral. If you highlighted before your wash keep it smaller and inside the last highlight.

 

Give it a try if you'd like. it'll add depth to your models and clean up the inconsistent metal/wash look.

 

 

 

ill give that a try, thank you for your help :)

 

ill follow your steps and post the result, thanks you
