Bringing up the silver will bring down the rest to get the black areas to read darker, but also some really bright specular highlights for the silver(some corners, partial edges, not edge highlighting everything) can help that as well.
Very "no time for frivolities like dusting off your armor" vibe, perfect.
Hard to tell. Looks like the light has blown it out? Good job on the eyes and shells tho.
Fuck off.
Agreed. There’s an entire thread for this stuff @Angelos32, please take it there. I’m sure you’ll end up getting more support for your personal army there too.
I fully agree with this, but take it to the tabletop community watch thread please.
Gotcha, I didn’t realize that was a thread on here, I mostly hang out in happenings
Np man
Sorry for the double. But I just noticed. Is the power pack glowing from the inside? That's a neat detail I've not seen done before.
Yeah, it’s the old light blue edge highlight paint that GW used to make. I did it on a whim to break up the sea of black.
In theory the helmet should be the same blue as his armour, with the ridges on the headdress being golden
I don't have any pics unfortunately because my minis are currently a couple of thousand miles away, but the way I did mine was a mid-to-light blue base, then use a darker blue wash to paint random splotches on the blade, and then use a light grey or white to make jagged lightning-esque patterns coming from those.
was thinking gold on the helm then a nice bright silver and blue for the headdress with a ghostly green in the eyes. I don't fully understand P3 being primarily funded through kickstarter but I saw these pure metals they're working on and I need that silver and gold
P3 being partially funded through kickstarter... a number of paint brands have done this(scale75, kimera, etc.) as it's a way to ensure a volume of sales for the initial batch. P3 paint has existed for years but due to Privateer Press fucking everything up(search the tabletop community thread about warmachine and privateer press, this is a company so fucking stupid they were on the verge of overtaking GW and then spent the next decade fucking everything up) the only way to get the funding to re-release the paint range was to do a kickstarter since steamforged wasn't keen on funding it themselves.
I think he said he liked the vallejo silver I can't recall. I need to get my hands on a good one before I fill in my army. I'm also determined to make that adrian smith painting a mini reality and I will need a good bright silver.
Vallejo metal color(not model color, they've got too many damned paint ranged named the same) is probably what he was referring to, he also uses that range for his gold blend(along with GSW gold pigment powder, but the pigment powder isn't completely necessary). If you want a really sharp set of highlights on a good silver paint, get a molotow liquid chrome pen to do the specular highlights with after you've varnished(and then don't touch it because that liquid chrome takes a good 2 days to set properly) and you'll be able to see it as glints off of edges and points from a few feet away when the light hits it.
It is never not funny how well the Stormcast lend themselves to bring converted to CSM, they are so not heroic looking it’s hilarious.
