Muckwarrior Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I want to build a new Primaris army, but I need some help/feedback on colors and ideas: I want to build a Primaris only force for the Astral Knights, but, they have some unique coloring and style. What would you think their base color is? What color blue is their trim? I'm not restricted to Citadel Paints. Where could find these decals? Thanks! http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/3/32/Astral_Knights_Colour_Scheme.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354338-paint-project-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighMarshalAmp Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I'd go Leadbelcher (Citadel suck at whites, but their metallics are top notch) with Runefang Steel highlights, Vallejo Ultramarine blue for the trim.

Panzer Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Yeah you'd be fine with just using Leadbelcher spray. Here are some of my Knights of Blood Baal for comparison. I'm a lazy painter so I didn't do it by the book and skipped a few steps. This is just Leadbelcher primer from their rattle can and then a heavy wash with nuln oil to give them a more dirty look. No proper basecoat and no highlights. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354338-paint-project-help/#findComment-5270764 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighMarshalAmp Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 It's refreshing to hear that I'm not the only one who doesn't do the whole highlighting thing on their minis Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354338-paint-project-help/#findComment-5270992 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muckwarrior Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Awesome, thanks guys! So spray with Leadbelcher and then drybrush Runefang? Is Runefang the brightest metallic?

thewarriorhunter Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I have a similar scheme for my homebrew chapter, the Spectral Sicarii: I was asked once if they were Astral Knights. I do a light gray for the base but the blues may work for you. My base blue is all Vallejo: Turquoise, then I recess/edge glaze/highlight with Dark Blue and then a finer application of Dark Prussian Blue.
