Purdy81 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Does anyone have any tips for painting the bunches of cables? I'm mainly on about the one front Terminator power fist to thunder hammer, but they are also on heavy weapons and dreadnought weapons. I don't just want to paint them one color but I'm finding it really hard to make them look decent Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223875-space-marine-cables/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmine_the_Wolf Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Try using a wash or ink to exploit the natural lines of the cables? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223875-space-marine-cables/#findComment-2677083 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solid Zaku Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Aye. Use a wash, then, if necessary, use a light drybrush of your metal to bring out the cabling.

Carmine_the_Wolf Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Which was are you using? In addition you might get a better effect undercoating the cable behind the wrist in black, drybrushing with boltgun metal and then using devlan mud.

I use devlan mudd over the entire mini, and apply another wash of 50/50 Devalan mudd and Badab balck over the rear cables and bolters (anything thats painted boltgun) etc, but its the front cables that im never happy with, Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223875-space-marine-cables/#findComment-2677113 Share on other sites More sharing options...
onipunk Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Do what I do: black undercoat, boltgun drybrush over only the raised parts of the cable, leaving the recesses between the links black.
