Shadowstalker Grim Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Hi brothers, Whilst being mostly loyalist, I've taken a fancy to a small number of models to add to my collection as I like them, amongst them is a Daemon Prince. I've decided that I want his armour to be red with a silver trim (word bearers I belive, though I elected it purely because its the antithesis of my ultramarines gold and blue) However I can't settle on a skin colour I think would work the best with the colour scheme on the armour. After much looking for inspiration I found this image recently on the GW website: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...Id=prod1250012a I wondered what you thought about how this would work with the red and silver as I do quite like it, though I would appreciate some input as to how to replicate the effects.... Thanks - Grim Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/232989-paint-scheme-worthy-of-a-prince/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowstalker Grim Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Noone has any ideas on how to get that Chimera's skin? :) Well i'll outline what Im thinking to replicate it: - Model has a chaos black spray as the base - Mix up a dark purple to go over the black - Apply patches of white thinly (not sure whats best to apply it with in order to create a nice even spread without the paint lines evident) - Apply over that a thin layer of blue paint to create that sort of lightning blue effect, possibly repeating this step a couple of times to create a gradient blue? -Apply an even lighter blue or some white to highlight and detail What do people think? Could that replicate the chimera skin? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/232989-paint-scheme-worthy-of-a-prince/#findComment-2804331 Share on other sites More sharing options...
