Electrolytes Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 So I'm making my own DIY chapter and they are white and a very "dark" gold (I will upload a pic tomorrow of one of the models!) my problem is I'm so used to washing my models with something to get the detail out that they don't feel finished if i don't wash them. But if i wash over the white its going to go really, really badly. So is there a way around this? my method of painting them is fairly lazy i guess i spray them all white then do the gold bits with iyanden yellow (I think thats what it is called) then paint with a mix of Gold + Boltgun metal then wash with Devlan mud. the reason i spray them white is because i like the "crisp" finish of it.

Terminatorinhell Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 maybe asurmen or Ice blue in the darker recesses of the armor for a nice cold white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Fury Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Use a thinned down badab black wash, don't thin it too much or you start to get pooling and water marks instead of the normal wash results. Then go back and highlight with white. You could use a sepia wash or something else but they will change the color of the white where as the black looks like a normal shadow transition.

Angel Descendant Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 If you want a dirty white, check out xenobiotic's log on Heresy Online, he gets some great results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typical Cricket Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 You could also give it a coat of gloss varnish prior to washing; that will prevent the wash from sticking to the raised areas and it will only flow into the recesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
