Dracul Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Hi, I'm wondering how to shade my UMs (the armor parts I mean). I guess the most obvious choice would be blue ink but, since I don't have blue ink, I was wondering if anyone knew another way that would give nice results. Thanks! Dracul.

Khrangar Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 What about just adding some black to UM blue and watering it down a fair bit. If you have regal blue or a darker shade of blue, water that down extensively and use it as you would an ink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artimis Vergadin Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 No black isn't a good color. Try dark angels green. Or possibly if your feeling well a dark red. :blush: Artimis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 You can make your own ink by mixing a little matte medium and water with paint. Regal Blue and Midnight Blue are both good choices for making an ind to shadow Ultramarines Blue. Black mixed with blue comes out purplish.

Obliterator Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Basecoat Regal Blue Layer/blend up to Ultramarines Blue Highlight by adding Space Wolves Grey to the Ultramarines Blue This is pretty much the only non-xeno example I've got. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Obliterator/Imperial%20Fists/DSC00635.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubal Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Inks work best for me when shading but blue ink is too light and black is too dark :( Personally I'd mix black ink with UM blue and thin it as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
