misterkho Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) Well after today's FWw news i'm definitely going to paint my archeon knight in house malinax colors and then starting a knight house:) First layers of paint are already done, Edited July 17, 2016 by misterkho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_r_parker Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Nice - which painting route are you going down? I've now got two schemes from Mak Bedford, the first being a Tamiya scheme, and the second being a GW paint scheme beginning with Zandri Dust.

misterkho Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 thanks! first base with zandridust, then a nuln oil wash. zandridust again to smoothen the wash edges, karakstone and a highlight on the edges with palid whych flesh. I saw Mark Bedford's models, absolutely stunning i just wondered why he also painted all other mechanicum units in malinax colors? Oh and what GW paints did Mark Bedford use?

Grand Master Laertes Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 i just wondered why he also painted all other mechanicum units in malinax colors? Probably because he likes the idea of fielding a coherent force? From a fluff standpoint he can always say that these units are attached to House Malinax as servants and that they are tasked to deal in battle with the lesser threats, those unworthy of the attention of a Knight Titan. (Or, at least, that's the explanation I am using for my Incaladine Mechanicus, painted in the livery of the Tiger Eyes Titan Legio) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterkho Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 Ok fair enough ;) I just looked at the artwork again, tonight i'm going to darken the metallic parts..a mix of storm vermin fur and leadbelcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I definitely prefer consistency in paint schemes over eclectic styles. Can't wait to see more of this beast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterkho Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 small update: Did the metal trims with a 50/50 shin grey and leadbelcher, pretty happy with the results. Did some work on the tandoori dust and karakstone. i like the colors but it's missing a touch of yellow in comparison with Mark Bedfords model. I guess i'll have to finish this knight with karak stone but will be looking for a bit more yellowish color once i'm starting on new knights. Oh and the wash mix of seraphim sepia and nun oil works really well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
