Crimson Wolf Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Okay so never actually painted anything at all, ever x.x but I have am mindset on what paint scheme I want my question is, what paints would I need to make the dark brown metallic looking (yes the marine painter says paints but that's only for a basic non metallic color), and maybe the black too?

Imperial Deceit Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I would go with Dwarf Bronze followed by washing with Badab black until it has the shade you like. As for the black, just mix a little Adaptus battle grey into chaos black to take the edge off it. 4:1 ought to do it. Oh I forgot to mention, if you feel that the wash has take to much shine off the metal, just touch it up with clear coat to make it all shiny again.

Imperial Deceit Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Dwarf Bronze is a metalic paint. It just is a brighter tone then i believe you are going for. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254227-paint-question/#findComment-3086897 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GumbaFish Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 They don't make dwarf bronze anymore so that isnt going to be very helpful. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254227-paint-question/#findComment-3086956 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperial Deceit Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Oh, your right. I only have the old paints. Try Hashut Copper or Brass scorpion. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254227-paint-question/#findComment-3086980 Share on other sites More sharing options...
feuer_faust Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 The equivalent for Tin Bitz (Warplock Bronze I believe) is a very dark brown/red metallic. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254227-paint-question/#findComment-3088115 Share on other sites More sharing options...
