Br0ther Rafen Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 hey guys recently, i have finally started to paint up my SW minis and i am having some difficulty getting that "baby blue" colour that GW has. Does anyone have a tutorial, or some tips to painting this colour? I would prefer to ust using GW paints (though mixing/washing etc is fine) because i don't want to have to go and find paints online, or in hobby shops, etc. Thanks for any input in advance.

The Son of Russ Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 i just paint the armour shadow grey and mix in a bit of skull white for highlights, and the basecoat is black.

Brother Caleb Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I've also started painting recently. I am using an adaptation of Alaitoc's Regal Blue/Mithril mix/drybrush technique. I use a 1:9 blue/silver ratio. Comes out really well. Because of the metallic nature of mithril, there's really no need to highlight because the natural light reflects around the edges.
