Emperor's Furor Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I'm trying to achieve this scheme from the front cover of Sedition's Gate but I'm unsure how to go about it. I was thinking of starting off with Naggaroth Night but it's a bit to dark, however I don't want it to become to purple, does anyone have any suggestions? http://warhammerworld.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/SEDITIONS_GATE_dustjacket_FINAL_CMYK.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303168-trying-to-get-this-colour-for-alpha-legion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Youd have to airbrush colors like the Tamiya Clear line over a silver base to get that kind of effect or use interference paints (google it) to get results like those, imo.

Emperor's Furor Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 I'd be happy with just the purple/blue colour, doesn;t have to be shiny other anything.

Slips Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 You could go for purple and put some blue interference paint on highlight areas for it to shine blue at certain angles. EDT is using some in his plog if you want to see. For purple, Id aim for a deeper violet/ blue-purple. Mix some up and test it on a throwaway surface; but I'd use more blue tha purple in the mix.

Emperor's Furor Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Hmm ok. Do you think this paint looks right? http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41qlNgRPT9L.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303168-trying-to-get-this-colour-for-alpha-legion/#findComment-3943229 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor's Furor Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Kind of confused on how Tamiya clear works, do paints like the purple above come as gloss and the clear makes them matte? or the other way around?

Slips Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I havent worked with them but think of them as potentially being thicker GW glazes or inks in general?

Emperor's Furor Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Ok I've ordered the purple, but also the thiner, the clear and the base ones just in case.

Slips Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Look into these too: http://www.liquitex.com/us/shop/paints/specialties/interference-colors/36099/ http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286355-eds-heresy-kill-teams-wip-thousand-sons-barque/?p=3934827 EDT used some here and you can see how this might help you get a metallic sheen on a matte base, if you want one.

Slips Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 You could paint your AL Blue/Purple and use Green/Violet as sheen colors.
