sitnam Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Hello, I'm hoping to pick up the new Immolator kit once my local store reopens; I was wondering what techniques and paints people have been using to paint the stained glass gun-shield.

Brother Tyler Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I'm just guessing (since I haven't painted any stained glass gun-shields or canopies), but anyone "painting" them with the intent of achieving a glass-like result is probably using inks, washes, and other translucent mediums (including watering colors down for [more] translucence).

Lord Grimskull Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Yeah, I'm going to try either watering down a wash or maybe contrast paint thinned with the medium. Thin coats are key!

walter h Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 My earlier post was, based on a immolater that came with a clear plastic gun shield. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363101-immolator-stained-glass/#findComment-5503719 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casual Heresy Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I saw on Twitter today, someone painted all the glass panels with Lahmian Medium first before applying thin layers of contrast paints. Some colours need more than one thin layer but it looked really good.

Aqui Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I did have a link saved showing how to achieve this, but I can't find it now :( If I find it, I'll share it here :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363101-immolator-stained-glass/#findComment-5503778 Share on other sites More sharing options...

vossyvo Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Hope this linking is allowed. Apologies if not. I was actually watching a Vince Venturella youtube video today and painting stained glass came up in 5 uses for Varnishes, and I thought of this topic. Tip #5 @8:15 in the Video - Painting Clear Surfaces / Stained Glass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6Ww5iAP250 Looks like a pretty decent result.
