Teun135 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 As we get closer to Prospero coming out, I have been thinking about upping my Iron Hands painting game and giving the oil-like sheen effect a try. Does anybody have any good guides on the internet they could point me to?

Slips Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Theres this old Scheme from Forgeworld: Please find below the painting scheme for the Iron Hands. IRON HANDS COLOUR SCHEME1. Undercoat the model with GW black undercoat spray2. Drybrush layers of Rub and Buff Pewter to blend up from black to silver. with the silver parts being the most raised areas.3. A small amount of Tamiya Clear Yellow was added to Tamaiya Smoke and this was airbrushed over the whole model and the model was then left to dry.4. GW Druchi Violet was then airbrushed over the model in random patches.5. Tamaiya Clear Green was then airbrushed in patches over the previous two colours.6. The whole model was airbrushed with a layer of thinned down Tamaiya Smoke and the model was then left to dry.7. The model was then protected with a coating of GW Purity Seal. Brass1. Basecoat with Runelord Brass;2. Wash with Agrax Earthshade;3. Highlight with Runelord Brass in striking motions to create a chipped and weathered appearance. Lenses1. Basecoat Kantor Blue2. Highlight Caledor Sky3. Paint a thin line of Lothern Blue at the bottom of the lens4. Paint a dot of white in the upper corner of the lens Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327174-30k-iron-hands-oil-armor-effect-how-to/#findComment-4542302 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teun135 Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Thanks, that is helpful! Any non-airbrush ideas though? Maybe something with washes and careful application?

Slips Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I did the following using only Brushes and GW paints, mostly washes. http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a598/stampeeder/2016-01-22%2000.33.04_zpsizpoenqf.jpg http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a598/stampeeder/2016-01-22%2000.32.39_zpsijg4uxai.jpg http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a598/stampeeder/2016-01-22%2000.32.26_zpslbeidi8w.jpg Basecoat was Silver. Then I went around tinting certain panels with colors such as Sepia, Green, Purple, Blue, etc. Before drowning it all in an all-over wash of Black with a final Drybrush of silver.

Teun135 Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 That looks pretty good! The other idea I was thinking was basecoat black, blend to silver in the high areas, like the guide says. Then using odd angles to pool washes differently... I'm thinking of agrax toward the bottom and using druchi toward the top with a nuln oil over everything to bring it back together... but it's obviously gonna take some experimentation. Good thing I have a lot of extra space marine models lying about. Thanks for the tips though, it's enough to steer me in a good direction.

Memento Of Prospero Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I do mine with dark washes/inks and Tamiya clear smoke to give it that oily gloss. Very simple and fast.

Hexagon Sun Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Here's the guide by Matt Kane who originally came up with the scheme I think http://m-k-painting-studio.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/iron-hands-armour-guide.html?m=1 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327174-30k-iron-hands-oil-armor-effect-how-to/#findComment-4542656 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantay VI Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Edt was using a paint on his models which was pearlescent maybe something like that would work?

Slips Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I have those paints Dantay and its basically a metallic cream-white. If you then dunk nuln oil on it it just looks like a very bright silver washed in black.

Paradigm Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Golden's Acrylic Green and Purple Interference Paints. It will give you an oily luminescence. Haven't tried on black, and it doesn't show super well in photos. But it should do what you want. If you want, I can do a quick test and post it for you. Keep in mind, the photos won't capture it well. The reason is interference paint reflects light in its color, but still shows the color underneath. In shadow if used carefully it would show as totally black, then when the light hits it, it reflects in whatever color you choose to use, at least in theory. Photos tend to show the reflections in the color, but don't show the strange quality of color shift well. https://www.goldenpaints.com/products/colors/interference-colors Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327174-30k-iron-hands-oil-armor-effect-how-to/#findComment-4545606 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slips Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I have the Luqitex Interference paints and theyre essentially Colored Metallic Flakes in an acrylic paint medium that dries clear. It might help you get the effect you want but it might also make them VERY sparkly. Check out some of the WIP threads from EDT, he's made some use out of them.

Paradigm Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I've found that when you mix them with standard acrylic colors it dramatically changes the effects. Liquitex and Golden have slightly different interference paints. I've seen the liquitex used, but haven't tried it myself. It does seem to have more opalescence, and brighter color shift. I mixed in matte medium and used the purple as a wash on my Slaaneshi warband, and used the blue and green for ethereal effects on some possessed tanks. A matte wash like nuln oil or thraka green tones down unwanted shimmer. Less is more in all cases.
