Helias_Tancred Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Hail Brothers! I stumbled on a different way to paint the blood drop gems that are popular in our iconography found on our armor .... I used to do the typical khorne red, sickle of Meph red, another sickle of Evil Sunz, bottom crescent of Fire Dragon Bright, dot of White Scar, etc then coat with Ardcoat. Now I just use Blood for the Blood God. Put on several coats, then a coat of ardcoat, and it looks good! So far I've been happy with the results! Also this is probably old news but just in case some of you guys don't know this, another way of doing our eye lens is to paint them white (White Scar) and then coat with Waywatcher Green glaze. Eyes look good, sorta like a glow, and its fast and easy. /salute Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329682-painting-blood-drop-gems-tip/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainHelion Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 That's essentially the idea behind the new gemstone paints, by the by. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329682-painting-blood-drop-gems-tip/#findComment-4618260 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Nightman Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I love the gemstone technical paints! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329682-painting-blood-drop-gems-tip/#findComment-4618704 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTaW Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Any pics of any of the techniques people are talking about here (aside from the laborious multi-layered red-to-white with 'ardcoat since that's been around for a while)? GW's currently kinda crap at displaying the varied uses of their paints, I wasn't sold on the gemstone paints when I saw them and I've only ever seen BftBG used as a blood splatter paint (which is works very well at being).

Lord Janos Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I do the same myself on both counts. I find the spiritstone red a bit too bright for what i'm usually after. Huge fan of waywatcher green that for eye lenses, it saves so much hassle.

Grazcruzk Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I've been using waywatcher for lenses and I love it. BftBG is really nice for gems, also. I don't have a great picture of use for gems, but I used it down the length of the relic staff for my libby. Black, white drybrush, BftBG. It has a nice, glassy look to it. Hopefully the picture gives a good enough idea, I know it isn't the greatest quality.
