War Angel Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I bought a few of the new paints from citidel yesterday, and I'm wondering if I can use "drakebhof nightshade" to add some shadow to my white. Any one know or try this yet? If not I also bought the layer color "ulthuan gray" and "white scar". If I need to, I'm thinking that I can possibly water down the gray to make a shadow, and then highlight that with the white. Any thoughts? Thanks for the help Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/268902-shading-white/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellChyld Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 maybe thinning it and using it as a glaze to shade the white might work. the blue would probly look alot better then the gray but its up to you.

pingo Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 White is slightly unusual in that you can shade it in several ways: - with greys for a neutral shade - with browns for a warmer shade - with blues for a colder shade These Veteran models are a great example: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...Id=prod1600058a You can see the warmer look of the fabric, shaded with browns, compared to the colder tones of the helmets, shaded with blues. Using the Drakenhof Nightshade wash sparingly in the recesses and shaded areas should work, but take it slowly as mistakes show up more on white than any other colour. If the Drakenhof turns out too blue for you, try mixing it with Nuln Oil (about 50:50 should do it).
