nismogrendel Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I'm picking up painting some old guardsmen I had half done. I want to do the grenades in green, similar to this old one I painted: I had a text file of all my paint recipes but can't find it. I have almost all the GW green paints on hand. I remember it was basically just a base, the green GW wash, then a drybrush. Anyone able to help me out and figure out the dark green base / light green drybrush?

Fajita Fan Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I used to paint them Dark Angels (aka Caliban) green, just dab some brighter green on the faces and top ridges, then wash brown. If they guys are green, brown, or black I have used red before too.

Rik Lightstar Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 This is a perfect job for contrast paints, I'd base coat in Ogryn Camo and then use the medium green (dunno the name) contrast.

Rik Militarum Green? Or Creed Camo for a bit darker, I always thin contrast paints quite heavily and go to a 2nd or 3rd coat if necessary.

nismogrendel Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 I misspoke... I have a lot of the regular GW paints, not many contrast. This is what I came up with, it doesnt exactly match my priest grenades but I'm ok with it. I'm not sure what the base was, but I think it was deathworld forest Then nuln oil Then drybrush elysian green Going to do the metals next and grenades are finished Base + wash on right / base, wash, drybrush left Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364315-how-do-you-paint-green-grenades/#findComment-5535522 Share on other sites More sharing options...
battle captain corpus Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I'm a big fan of Elysian Green with a green wash then rehighlight with base colour. :) BCC nismogrendel 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364315-how-do-you-paint-green-grenades/#findComment-5536964 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 It certainly looks like Deathworld Forest and Athenian Camoshade. I use Deathworld Forest => Elysian Green => Ogryn Camo, with Athonian Camoshade to shade. nismogrendel 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364315-how-do-you-paint-green-grenades/#findComment-5537055 Share on other sites More sharing options...
