1Drop Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 What blues do you use to paint devs helmets? I want to start my devs this weekend if possible but I'm not sure what blues to use... Help please. I promise this will be my last devs question or in fact *thread (lol) Thanks for all your help BA brethren, what would I do without you guys :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228117-devs-helmets/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGPO Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 To be honest dude this really doesn't warrant another thread, seeing as you've asked in the other two already. TBH it really doesn't matter which blue you use, just pick yuor favourite then highlight it up by mixing in some bleached bone. At the end of the day there's all sorts of variation in the different shades used by people collecting the same army.

1Drop Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 I didn't wanna make another thread I just wanted an answer and as no one had answered I thought no one had seen that I had asked it, obviously people have recipes for it and I wanted to know what people use before I go out and buy the paints! What I should have asked is *what colours are used in the GW pictures of BA devs But thanks anyway.

Brother Nathan Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 personally i use regal blue and then enchanted blue (not high lighted as it dosent fit my marines) if i rember or have time ill post pics tomorrrow. see th think i wanted was i didnt want it to be to bright so as to outshine my red, but not so dark that it made the assault squads look like a bunch of idiots with a shoot me first sighn at the same time...

1Drop Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 Yeah.. I was thinking of using necron abyss as a base (although I feel this may be too dark) with enchanted blue shading like I do on my force weapons although for that recipe I go through to ice blue!

Losfer Werds Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I use Mordian Blue, the highlight with a 2:1 mix of Mordian and Bleached Bone. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228117-devs-helmets/#findComment-2733683 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Drop Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 My brother has mordian blue somewhere but I can't find it... Damn. EDIT: found it but it really just looks the same as necron abyss, is it lighter?

Lesek Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I use Enchanted Blue, highlight with 50/50 Enchanted blue/Skull White, end on a heavy wash of Asurmen Blue. The wash pulls the blue down to a nice midtone. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228117-devs-helmets/#findComment-2734592 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wash pulls the blue down to a nice midtone. Sounds like a pretty good formula, I'll have to get some asurmen blue and try this out.
