Mercy 0f Spades Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Howdy B&C! Time for my second question for the day! What is the best GW wash to use when doing the standard bone white color scheme for Deathwing? Thanks Mercy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJB Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 The majority of painting guides I've seen tend to use Gryphonne Sepia, have a look in the painting tutorial forum, I'm sure theres a few in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonReaper Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 sepia if you want a creamy bone yellow bone look... devlan mud if you want a more dirty look like they have been out for a couple of week killing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 sepia if you want a creamy bone yellow bone look... devlan mud if you want a more dirty look like they have been out for a couple of week killing.

Brother dean Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Bedab black will give a much colder and stark effect. Tengo, if you find any chestnut, i am out.... Gryphonne just doesnt wash gold the same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercy 0f Spades Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Which looks better for washing faces (like the models actual face, not the helmet) Devlan Mud? Gryphonne Sepia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercy 0f Spades Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 orgry flesh i use really mate... but on my space wolves i used sepia over talern flesh... hope that helps mate. It does, thanks. I guess I was just hoping to knock out two birds with one stone. I've used the black wash on a lot of my fellow's faces and it gave it a pretty cool shadowy look but I was just hoping for something better. What is interesting is that I've give all my Marines with exposed faces warpaint that's central to my chapter. So everyone has half of their faces painted a dark burgundy color. The black wash went well with the warpaint but only decent enough for the flesh tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother dean Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Leviathan purple is also quite effective for a flesh wash, you just have to come back and drybrush over it with Dwarf or Elf flesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

he_plays_guitar Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I normally use Gryphonne Sepia wash over all the armor, then go back and paint Devlan Mud directly into the creases and low parts of the armor. Then Sepia wash gives it a nice creamy look and the Mud gives a little bit more grit to the armor. I also use Devlan Mud as a wash for gold, it gives it a kind of dulled down look to it. But I prefer my gold to look more dirty, less shiny, so it works well for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to mix a drop of goblin green with the gold before painting,youll remember me ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Neo Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 personally i use bubonic brown as a base with a chestnut wash then repaint the bubonic then build up from their for deathwing armour for the faces, believe it or not, i use a blue wash, there is no such thing as black in nature so i almost never use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bringer of Redemption Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I've found that badab black on bleached bone, followed by highlighting with bleached bone gives the armor a distinctly used look, but still keeps it looking like the original color was bone. --BoR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
