Keyrl Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Hi everyone, I'm coming back to the hobby after ... 20 years So, in order to start again, I'm beginning with my old love: The Black Legion. I've done my first 3 marines and ... I'm not that happy with the result and in particular the edge highlight. For the black armor, I'm using the Thunderawk blue and Fenrisian Grey after that ... and the result is not so good I feel. So, you'll find the result of my work and I hope you can help me improving this poor work Thanks a lot for your help !!!

Marius Perdo Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 They are very cleanly painted, it is clearly coming back to you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephaniah Adriyen Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Mhm, clean lines are always good. They look great. Are these Shadowspear sculpts or am I blind or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyrl Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 Thanks for the feedback. I feel that these are too « blue » and not enough highlighted... not happy with what is done. For Shadowspear: no, classic Chaos SM :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyrl Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 If you have a receipe for my Black armor, of course I’m interested !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephaniah Adriyen Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 If you have a receipe for my Black armor, of course I’m interested !!! It's more of a "quick and simple" thing, and I came up with it for my Raven Guard, but... You start with a basecoat of a regular matte black - Abaddon Black is what I use. Simple enough. Then you drybrush on a medium-light grey - I use Army Painter Uniform Grey at the moment, but anything with a medium-light color works - light grey LEGO blocks are a good example of the color. Drybrush somewhat heavy, but don't drown out the black entirely. Do all your other details that need a black wash, then apply a black wash over all the armor to darken it back down and you're ready to rock.

Kolgrim DeathHowl Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 They turned out really nicely painted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosRaptor Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 As a fellow Black Legionnaire these look great to me, especially if you've been away for that long! Out of curiosity, what is it about the black you don't like? I've recently started doing mine similar to yours but with Dark Reaper as the first highlight instead.

Keyrl Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 Thanks for your replies and help ! Out of curiosity, what is it about the black you don't like? I've recently started doing mine similar to yours but with Dark Reaper as the first highlight instead. It’s more about the edge highlight of the black in fact. Maybe not enough highlighted and too « blueish » I’ll try another set of 3 Chaos SM and see if I can thin the Thunderawk blue a little bit more maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
