Sersi Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 So I want to start painting my Slaaneshi army soon, but I'm at a loss as to how I should paint the 36 pairs of wings in the army. I want to paint black or a very dark grey. My daemons are angelic but....evil after all. Anyone got a link, tutorial or a good method for painting wings? Here's the model by the way: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2010/6/22/114877_sm-.JPG Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Thats a very nice model, whered you get it? Anyways, for black wings Id undercoat white, and then drybrush black over the whole thing- giving you the glistening effect that youll find in natural bird feathers in the recesses.

SquigBait Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 An alternate method would be to paint them a dark blue or purple first and then drybrush with black. If you look at a crow or raven feathers you will notice that they are so black that they sometimes have a slightly blue sheen to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njm3 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Definitely drybrushing... on a textured surface you can really get all the details through with drybrushing. It is also reasonably fast, and you can do multiple drybrushes with progressively lighter shades (and lighter brushing) for some layering. Might want to ink/wash lightly afterwards to unify. Prime them black, then use dark grey to white for the drybrush and you can keep em as evil looking as you want. Reversing the scheme as posted above (prime white, drybrush black) can give a different look, but may end up being lighter than you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sculpted it! :) Hey thanks for the ideas guys, I got extra wings so I got some testers to practice on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemal Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I would go for painting stripes of black + green, black + purple, black with blue, then wash with chaos black to shade teh recesses, and then drybrush lightly with the basal green/purple/blue colours, as then you get that irridescent hseen. Varnish the wings using satin finish to enhance the effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
