War Angel Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I'm always trying to find ways to improve my painting. I think if it wasn't for the bolter and chainsword I would still be painting the same way I did when I was 12, prime the base color, blacken the soft armor and grills, add some yellow to the eyes and shoulders, call it a day. I probably owe 90% of my painting to the B&C, the other 10% coming from my mom's genes. I've been searching for a good way to paint bolters, and I found a great tutorial by Pingo here on the fourms for how to paint the casings, which I plan to use, but nothing for the metallic parts. Now granted, I think we have a few ways on how to do heat stanning for barrels, but nothing for the barrel itself. I've tried looking on you tube, but it seems all I found were people asking questions on it, and no real tutorial. Is there anybody out there who can give me a hand?

Firepower Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 The metal bits of a bolter have lots of raised details and recesses, so a simple Nuln wash works wonder on a solid Boltgun-metal basecoat. I personally go with Chainmail rather than Boltgun, but potato-potato.
