BOBMAKENZIE Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 So I was flipping through the Blood Angel Codex and I noticed Tycho's gold is rather different from what I've seen before on a model. Its brighter or something maybe? It looks to me as though it must be NMM (Or some kind of crazy metallic gold applied like NMM system maybe?) Im not a great painter but it certainly makes me wonder. SO anyone have any Thoughts? here is a LINKY in case you arent familiar with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 That's NMM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrion Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 It's a brilliant example of NMM, one of the best Eavy Metal has done. The Sanguinor NMM is more like the norm, which is still good, but doesn't 'shine' like Tycho does. Don't ask me how to do it. I see stuff like that, look at my primed HQ, think 'whats the point' and put my brush down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exact same here ;) Ah well if its just a prime example of NMM I guess I'll give up and return to looking dumb (This thread didnt help XD) Maybe oggle tycho some more...

The Normish Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Definitely NMM. I personally don't like the idea myself, but I imagine it takes a great deal more skill than I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsmarriner Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 For gold pieces I use Liquid Gold Leaf. It puts a very very thin layer of gold on whatever you paint. Then I wash it with a dark Brown to take a little of the shine off. It normally looks good but then again I am not going to be entering an a painting contest anytime soon (like ever).

Redfinger Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I dont think that is NMM, rather I think it is metallic paint, applied in a NMM fashion. If you look closely on the chest and face, also some parts of the legs you can actually see the reflective pigment. I would say all the GW golds were used, plus the some washes, mithril, maybe some tin bits, and some various browns and black. Ashton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DV8 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 It is NMM. If I had to name the colors: Chaos Black Scorched Brown Snakebite Leather Vomit Brown Golden Yellow Bleached Bone Skull White DV8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr tough guy Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Think Redfinger's right, looks like TMM (True Metallic metal) to me, at least the gold parts, which is basicly NMM with metallic paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Added to the above, the technique they specifically used for this mini is detailed in one of the newer White Dwarfs (can't remember which # but it was around time release of C:BA), it has a white cover with a Blood Angel on it.

Brother Valerius Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I have the WD that is from the launch of C:BA, and they have an article on painting the Sanguinor, not Tycho. I also have the one with the cover you mention (it's from Feb 2011, #373), but that has nothing on Tycho either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think it is NMM painted with metallics Ashton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Valerius Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I'll look when I get home, at work currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Valerius Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Actually, I didn't look at the Sanguinor article closely. They don't go into detail about how they painted Tycho, but they do show two versions: one with metallics and one with NMM. The one that is in the picture in the OP is the NMM version. They also do the Sanguinor in NMM in the article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
