jimbo13 Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Is it really? What purple wash would you recommend to get this look? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305105-alpha-legion-color/#findComment-3986977 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastelAvenger Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 There doesn't look like a single metalic colour in that purple, I would say grey primer with Drakenhoff wash leave it in the recesses and then work through the GW purples Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305105-alpha-legion-color/#findComment-3987603 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smaller picture looked like it was, but the larger picture clearly shows that it isn't.

jimbo13 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 This is the blue i've been happiest with. I used a purple undercoat a wash of nuln oil. Then azure blue, followed by a nuln oil wash, then a gerry rigged purple wash (waiting for my secret weapon mini amethyst wash) then anothe coat of azure blue. Can't decide between a really light blue highlight or a really light purple......? Ideas from the peanut gallery? I WILLL GET A REAL MODEL UP. BY THE FIST OF ALPHAR..... I mean DORN it shall happen!!! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305105-alpha-legion-color/#findComment-4017521 Share on other sites More sharing options...
recon0321 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Looks great! What purple is that? I think a light purple would be awesome... Is the blue wash from GW?

jimbo13 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 I used xerus purple for my base coat. It came out just right. I didn't use a blue wash, I watered down my xerus purple a lot and mized in some nuln oil. Like i said waiting on my secret weapon mini wash. I'm between genestealer purple or lothern blue for the wash, definitely leanng towards the purple. Sorry for the wait, I graduate in a few weeks and my internship is coming to a close so it's a nightmare. Happy you were on the lookout though Recon!!!
