Aqui Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 As GC has said, very clean paint job ^_^ Over the years, I've seen Ultra's painted in nearly every shade of Blue imaginable, but that colour is how I "perceive" them ^_^ One of the days, I'll be able to do highlights to that consistency.

Vodunius Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Wow. I have to echo the compliments. Pray tell how did you do the blue? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/249340-second-tactical-squad-painted/#findComment-3019901 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Flawless, to my eyes. Beautiful blue and, as others have mentioned, the highlights are great. A squad to be proud of!

Techmarine Data007 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I like the way you did your blue, and how it almost looks dusty, as though it's been worn down, but not gouged.

Forza St. Pauli Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 Although I'm quite satisfied with the result I'm even more overwhelmed all your nice comments and compliments. Thanks lads!

Basecoat is a 50:50 mixture of Chaos black and regal blue Armor color is a 50:50 mixture of regal blue and ultramarines blue First highlight with pure ultramarine blue (thinned down with water) second highlight is a 50:50 mixture of ultramarines blue and space wolves grey The result is a "flowing" color progress: chaos black<-> regal blue -> regal blue<->ultramarines blue->ultramarines blues->ultramarines blue<->space wovles grey.

Harold Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 That's how I'd paint them (if I was any good). Love the clean look and crisp detail. Hope they fight as good as they look. Well done, mate!
