Theduke08 Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 @Danny Cyanide Here are some rough outlines of the colors I use. I do all of my base colors with an airbrush and my zenethial highlights with an airbrush as well. Green: Prime black Base with Death world forrest Zenethial highlight with Goblin Green Vallejo. Edge highlighting with Deathworld forrest and Goblin Green. About a 3 parts DWF and 2 parts GG. I do some more highlights with just Goblin Green. Gloss coat. At this stage I do all my transfers. I use https://ak-interactive.com/product/dark-wash-for-green-vehicles/ this for my pin washes. I then seal it with a gloss/satin coat. I add lahmian medium to this to get a more matte/satin finish. I havent found a matte that I really like. Yellow: Prime black Base with Averland Sunset Zenethial highlight with Averland Sunset and screaming skull. If you have any further questions let me know. I hope this helps. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354347-mantis-warriors-plog-lt-finished/page/2/#findComment-5281191 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Cyanide Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 That is perfect! I probably won't be starting on them for a little bit, I have a need to paint up some traitors after I finish my Deathwatch, but I'll start up a WIP thread when I do! Thanks for the assist!

Brother Lunkhead Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Awesome work Brother Thanks also for the painting recipe. I'd say based on the photos, the formula you use for the finish is perfect.

Theduke08 Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 Ive been making very slow progress on my Lt. Ive finished most of the fig I just need to base him and add some more weathering. Here is a really bad image of his head.

Theduke08 Posted March 28, 2019 Author Share Posted March 28, 2019 I finished the Lt. I don't have any of the other shadowspear figures yet but if they are anything like this one I'm looking forward to picking them up.

Inquisitor Eisenhorn Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Very cool work. I've always been just inches away from painting up some Mantis Warriors but back away when I realize I'd have two red (Red Hunters, Blood Angels) and two green (Raptors, Mantis Warriors) chapters if I did, and I want a little more color variety in my chapters. But always stoked to see Badab chapters represent! I'm currently working on the Vanguard Lieutenant as a Star Phantom. Really like the base on that Lieutenant as well.

DaBoiKyknos Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Cool Reivers!
