Pre-heresy Dark Angels colors, how would you?


Recommended Posts

I was happy to find this image of Pre-heresy dark angels! This should settle some of the often asked questions and debates concerning the legions color scheme and markings!

My question is how to achieve this look? It appears to be a metallic black with metal trim to me. I had thought about a heavy wash of nulin oil over a runefang steel base but really don't know! What do you think would be the best way to do this?

All IMO:

 

Dark Grey mixed with an Equally Dark Silver (Like Leadbelcher) or just Dark Silver; in both cases with generous Nuln Oil and/or Drakenhoff Nightshade Washes.

 

Or

 

Black with Dark Silver Highlights and a Mix of Dark Blue and Black washes to tie it together.

Thanks for the replies! Both are good ideas! Do you think a zenithal highlight of white then a black and or blue wash would work?

 

Personally, if you're committed to the zenithal highlight idea, I'd advocate a mid to dark grey rather than white.

*cough*
