Rider-75 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 James. What colours have you used to get that NMM hold on the banner? Still struggling to get something that actually looks gold. Tried the WD Sicarius method and if looks off.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestat Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Theres a slight dusty look to the armour which I like - it makes him look as if he's in the middle of a battle, not on the parade ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Of Sparta Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Thanks for all the comments guys: @ Midnight Runner: Thanks mate, I used the same method when layering the highlights and the same grey (Ulthuan, one of my new favourite paints :)) mixed with the red and the blue to keep the tones similar. @ Lestat: woo hoo, it worked. That was the look I was trying for as I felt that parade ground polished would have looked wrong on this mini. I like to think that he's actually one of the marines fighting in the defense of New Rynn City on Rynn's World. @ Rider-75: on this mini I think it was something like this: Basecoat Snakebite Leather Wash Devlan Mud Layer Snakebite Leather Layer Snakebite Leather/Vomit Brown mix Layer Snakebite Leather/more Vomit Brown mix Layer pure Vomit Brown Layer Vomit Brown/Bleached Bone mix Layer Vomit Brown/more Bleached Bone mix Layer pure Bleached Bone Layer Bleached Bone/Ulthuan Grey mix Layer pure Ulthuan Grey Layer Ulthuan Grey/Skull White mix Layer pure Skull White Glaze Gryphonne Sepia and then another once this one's dried Can you post up a photo of the NMM you've done? I'll try to offer some pointers if I can, not that I'm an expert but I'll do what I can. I've found that the more layers you have to smooth the transition between colours the better effect you'll have and also you need to make sure you're concentrating the highlights where the light would naturally play across the surface of what you're painting to give you the proper effect, hope that might be of some help... @ Biohazard: thanks mate, I'm really happy with how the fist looks. I noticed that whoever painted the 'Eavy Metal one didn't have the blue strips on the fist but the marine in the artwork does so I had to, dare I say correct(?) that oversight :). @ KhornateKiller: the base was done as follows: Basecoat Chardon Granite Drybrush Adeptus Battlegrey Drybrush Khemri Brown Drybrush Rotting Flesh Drybrush Drybrush 50/50 Rotting Flesh/Ulthuan Grey Drybrush Ulthuan Grey for some reason that mix seemed to most closely match the ground in the artwork on the RT Rulebook, although to be honest I did that from memory as even though I own a copy of the RT book I haven't actually looked at it for ages! @ Battle-Brother Ludovic: thanks :) I'm super-pleased with the banner as it's been so long since I painted a banner let alone did NMM. I can't wait to get him finish either as I've got a mountain of stuff to start getting paint on queueing up behind him :o. cheers James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
