henrywalker Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I want to get the same sort of finish they have on their reds on a flyer i'm painting. I'm assuming its an airbrush job but i don't know much about that. I was thinking i might be able to achieve something similar by sponging on a couple of silvery/white colours to get a mottled pattern and then usings several coats of clear red from tamiya. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/DefaultFW/xlarge/brasss.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288431-how-would-i-go-about-getting-this-finish/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Prime black, spray or airbrush a metallic gold paint in the pattern on the plates, layer several layers of a clear red, varnish.

Ramell Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 BCK is basically correct, though the dark parts of the pattern were airbrushed red over the silver, before the red varnish. The process is detailed in Forge World's Model Master Class Vol 2, which I own, so if you want, I can go into more detail.

Forté Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 The silver was built up in patterns too which is how the blotchy effect was done. It shows through the Tamiya Clear Red that they built up in airbrushed layers.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I remembered most of it. When it first came out, a friend of mine bought one of these beasts and asked me to build and paint it for him, and FW emailed him the recipe. Shortly after that, he gave up on the game.

Honda Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 That one model (and pic) has nearly dragged me into Khorne soooo many times. I just love that model.
