Ahmato Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Thanks Ran, I'll have to use that on my minis, would you do the same as this on, say, a shoulder pad? I mean the layering and all :tu: Cheers mate, Ahmato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Thompson Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Just curious I always like my eagles gold, what colours would you recommend?Id think>> Undercoat - Boltgun metal Basecoat - Burnished gold Wash - Flesh wash Layer - Burnished gold/water Highlight - Shining gold 2nd - gold/white 3rd - gold more white First of all, there's no need for the boltgun metal base-coat. Second, if you use a wash of scorched brown (1:3 sb:water) it will give a duller finnish then flesh wash. Third, don't ever use white to high-light metallics! Use a tiny bit of mithril silver to high-light the gold.. John T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranulf Posted June 11, 2005 Author Share Posted June 11, 2005 what did you use to highlight the black? The black was highlighted with: #1 - 'Dark Grey' (3:1 Codex Grey/Chaos Black) #2 - 1:1 Dark Grey/Codex Grey I'll have to use that on my minis, would you do the same as this on, say, a shoulder pad? I mean the layering and all In a sense - although the technique would vary a little. I'd probably use the following: #1 - Basecoat with Bleached Bone. #2 - Shade the recess (where the rim meets the inner pad) with Graveyard Earth. (watered down a little so it's a bit like a wash) #3 - Tidy up the shading with Bleached Bone. #4 - Highlight the inner pad (just inside the shading) with a thin line of Bleached Bone/Skull White. (3:1 ratio) #5 - Highlight all other raised areas (edges of the rim) with Bleached Bone/Skull White. (3:1 ratio) #6 - Highlight the outermost raised areas (corner edges of the rim and the top) with Bleached Bone/Skull White (2:1 ratio) Hard to explain without pictures, sorry. Just curious I always like my eagles gold, what colours would you recommend?Id think>> Undercoat - Boltgun metal Basecoat - Burnished gold Wash - Flesh wash Layer - Burnished gold/water Highlight - Shining gold 2nd - gold/white 3rd - gold more white How would that work out? Metallics have always been an issue with me - I've yet to be satisified with my attempts. :( However, I do use the following when painting gold: (Chaplain Des actually gave me a few pointers on gold-work, so he's not all hot air! ^_^) #1 - Basecoat with Bestial Brown. (I find the brown gives a 'warmer', more even tone to the gold layer) #2 - Layer with Shining Gold. #3 - Wash with Scorched Brown (keep the wash heavily watered or you'll ruin the gold - the wash is there to take some of the 'bite' out of the gold) #4 - Highlight One - Burnished Gold. #5 - Highlight Two - 1:1 Burnished Gold/Mithril Silver. IIRC, Des adds a final highlight of Mithril Silver, but I've never been able to get the highlights that high with stuffing it up,... :tu: -Ran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
