Question About Bronze

[Son of Carnelian]

Hello brothers! I was looking through GW's flickr and I saw these marines by user Sanctio Avitus ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/99490091@N05/). Does anyone have any idea how they got that shade of bronze? It's just striking. Anyway, thank you for the help!

Honestly it looks like mithril silver washed with devlan mud then washed with gryphon sepia....

That looks fairly similar to my own bronze effect for my Minotaurs. My formula is Khaki base coat, VGC Bright Bronze and a sepia/black wash. The wash dulls the orange of the original bronze color.

Wow...those are gorgeous.

Not exactly helpful, I know, but it needed to be said

I'm skeptical what kind of wash that is, as the GW ones are rather thick and it is very very evenly distributed.

 

Very pretty though :)

Really, Firepower? Nothing to point out? You usually have a keen critical eye. I thought I might be alone in admiring such a simple color scheme but when even you have no observations... boy. This scheme really rules, then!

(Not trying to snark at all, I am just genuinely surprised you have nothing to critique.)

Actually, I hate the eyes. But since it wasn't your work, there wasn't much point to noting where I saw mistakes. C&C is kinda pointles if it can't be acted upon

Looks like the color I used to get when I was doing my Salamanders

 

Chaos Black base

Bright Gold

Chestnut Ink Glaze

Bright Gold Drybrush

Bright Gold mixed with Enchanted Silver lightly drybrushed on high reliefs.

 

That looks more like Chestnut ink than any of the current GW washes IMHO. I could be wrong though.

 

Those are wonderful models. I love that color scheme

You could try a mix of Tin Bitz and Boltgun Metal, looks similar

Or maybe Dwarf Bronze with a Chestnut ink wash
