Mac the knife Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Greetings brothers, After taking a few months off of painting I thought i'd get to work on finishing up my force. I ordered 3 packs of FW heresy era heavy weapons and a squad of Mark V PW. I kind of see it as a form of heresy to paint my soon to be new wolves in the current light blue that the rest of my army is and i was curious if it would look horribly out of place if i painted them using a Black primer with codex grey basecoat and fortress grey highlights? The rest of my force is based with White primer, Fenris Grey foundation basecoat with Spacewolf grey armor and white highlights. Hopefully i'll get the FW minis soon and post some stuff up for your C&C Edit: Foundation =/= Fountain Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222592-paint-scheme-for-forgeworld-mark-v-minis/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Son of Russ Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 no it would look good, try and go for the foundation paint adeptus battlegrey and then highlight with fortress grey, it is more pre-heresy colour then.

Mac the knife Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 solid idea forgot about adeptus battlegrey Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222592-paint-scheme-for-forgeworld-mark-v-minis/#findComment-2661358 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Son of Russ Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 the scheme i got given off of wolf lord mjolnir was black basecoat, adeptus battlegrey, 50/50 adeptus battlegrey and codex grey, then highlight with fortress grey and codex grey. I even emptied a pot of chaos black and filled it with 50/50 adeptus battlegrey and codex grey to make it more permanent! Still need to buy some fortress grey though. Go to his blog (wolf lord mjolnir), and look at his army. You. Will. Be. Inspired.

That works well, but I'd add a black wash after the coat of battlegrey Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222592-paint-scheme-for-forgeworld-mark-v-minis/#findComment-2661476 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Lord Mjolnir Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Sorry Son of Russ, I do a wash of badab black after the battlegrey base coat. Sorry if I forgot to say that in the message.

Mac the knife Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Thank you for the recipe brothers. My painting skills aren't the greatest but i shall shoot for a TT quality at minimum due to the cost of FW minis and imo the awesomeness of the Heresy era armour. To keep my little self in line and ensure i get it done. Once I recieve said minis I shall create an entry in the works in progress section.
