Helias_Tancred Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Hail Brothers! I'm painting Tycho and Dante. I've never painted a gold figure before. What is a good basecoat to use on these guys? I have Mephiston Red and Black in spray, anything else will be brushed on primer. Thanks.

Crimson Devil Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I use Black Primer and then start with a brown base coat. I then use Vallejo's Bronze as the main color. When combined with Army Painter's Strong Tone Ink you get a very nice aged gold color.

Enzephalon Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 For my Custodes army I'm planning to use the Vallejo primer "Desert tan". Should be a nice basis to start from. http://images61.fotki.com/v52/photos/4/326584/11736542/IMG_2085-vi.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/300823-painting-tycho-and-dante-best-basecoat/#findComment-3897348 Share on other sites More sharing options...
