Highlighting Administratum Grey

[Brother-Sergeant Valorum]

Brothers, I have a problem. I’ve recently started painting up a batch of Adjudicators—my DIY Chapter—and am in a bit of a pickle. I’d like to paint the lighter parts of their color scheme—the arms, the backpacks, the lower legs and the pauldrons—in Administratum Grey, but I’ve been struggling with figuring out what color to use for the edge highlights. I’m going for a light grey, but a grey nonetheless, and I’m planning to shade it in Nuln Oil. Any ideas would be very much appreciated! For the Lion.

You may have to mix a highlight color unless you want it very stark - I would consider a 1:1 mix of Administratum Grey:Ulthuan Grey, and then do the final highlight with Ulthuan Grey. If you wanted to do bright point highlights, use White Scar.

 

If you want to look at stark highlights, just go in with straight Ulthuan Grey.

Thanks a lot! I’ll check that out. Much appreciated.

Vallejo Sky Grey, Silver Grey, or or Off White do the job well. I use Sky Grey, myself.

Or just go old school and cut down the initial colour with a different mix ratio using white to use as a highlight(s).
