irishoneall Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Hello All, I am an old 40k player dipping his toes back into the hobby. I have a Sternguard Veteran squad I would like to paint up as Brazen Claws to get a battle force going. However, I have no idea where to start on the paint scheme. It is worth noting that I have never been a great painter but I want to take my time and try to do these guys right. I have been watching tutorial videos like they are going out of style. I am particularly impressed with Lester Bursley's work - found here: https://www.youtube.com/user/awesomepaintjob/video But back to the Brazen Claws, has anybody painted up these guys and would you mind sharing your paint list? I assume I would start with a white underbase and the base colors will be: - Kantor Blue - Mephiston Red After this very basic start I get lost. Any idea on decent shades/layers/washes/highlights? Any and all input is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishoneall Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 Recon - thank you sir!!! Did the e book happen to mention a final wash, over the entire model, that might bring both colors together after the edge highlighting or dry-brushing? So how would you guys approach the painting the armour with these colors? Bases first obviously, then shade/wash over the entire model, then edge highlights with the layers? Would you suggest another layer with 50/50 Mephiston Red/Wild Rider red and 50/50 Kantor Blue/Lothern Blue on the respective areas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
