Irongills Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Updating my painting process and project log with a new paint recipe to follow! I use an airbrush for base coats of grey on the power armor. Prime with Vallejo Surface Primer Grey Airbrush layers of Vallejo 'Track Primer' (yes it's a paint color and not a 'primer') Recess shade of Agrax Earthshade (thinned with lahmian medium when on white) Edge highlight with Dawn Stone Seal with Satin Varnish Other colors follow pretty reasonable lines with GW paints or Scale 75 paints used mostly.

Irongills Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 Next steps are to go through the process above for the other 8 Intercessors and their weapons that are basecoated and then start working on edge highlighting with Dawnstone. Will Finish up with the eyes and basing! I don't have any Red Scorpion transfers, sadly, so I'll have to wait for those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irongills Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 Got the rest of the first intercessor squad up to speed with grey basecoat, yellow trims, and black shoulders. I'm finally really liking the results. Just dreading the edge highlights the grey, yellow, and black need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irongills Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 Currently tweaking and making changes to my grey base coat colors. Shooting for a more 'warmer' grey. Hopefully will have an update on those soon, but for now, here is my Lieutenant/Captain and an Ancient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irongills Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Been a long time, but finally got back into the swing of painting. This captain was painted mostly as a test for my new set of chosen colors. I really like how it's turning out. Needs a little bit of clean up here or there, but think I'm going in a good direction. Will have to update the top post with new army changes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Carnelian Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Loving everything so far! How will you base them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Looking good! I like the lighter grey paint scheme for the Scorps a lot more than the very dark grey one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irongills Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Probably do a simple base using the GW technical stuff. Think I’ve got armeggedon dunes? Not super complicated I don’t think. As for the grey base, I agree! I don’t like the black versions. However, all greys are not created equal. The easiest would be mechanicus standard grey because it comes in a can, but it’s a blue/cool tone grey. I prefer the brown/warmer grey. So I looked into skavenblight dinge but settled on Track Primer from Vallejo after seeing Greyfox studios paint job using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borky Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 That paint scheme is brilliant, the models look great! The only problem that I have with them is that it’s making me want to paint some of my own... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Beautiful work on the CAPT. How will you decorate his base? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem that I have with them is that it’s making me want to paint some of my own... I’ll try to put up the whole paint scheme here at some point. I just wanted to get the grey colors down because that’s the biggest part to get right for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit for the grey armor goes to this guy: https://www.facebook.com/GreyFox.Studios.Painting/ He was kind enough to walk me through how he does the power armor, even suggesting the satin varnish over others due to the way it makes the grey look. His stuff is amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
