So as some of you already know school's out for me for 3 months time. That means more painting less procrastinating ;) I've finally moved back home for summer and here's a couple of news, hobby related of course.
Firstly I've finished previous "black" project that has been haunting me for last couple of weeks. I managed to close up work on Morgul Knights, thus officialy that commission is over. I;m quite found of the effect, especially on the 'worn off' armour, the blacks themselves are not bad either.
Next on the agenda is Warhammer 40k piece or should I say pieces. Close Combat Terminator Squad is up on the horizon. Some 40k stuff to give me some break from Lotr sculpts.
I decided to go for the Ultramarines scheme and maybe alter it a bit. Typicall 'for fun' project since minis will end up on eBay probably. I think I'll go for shades of blue for most of Power Armor and mix it with some white/beige on shoulder/knee pads/hip pads finished with silver and gold. I haven't decided yet either I'll go with NMM or metallics on those. Well I guess I'll figure it out as I go.
Thous MM guys are much better then previous ones on foot. Good amount of powder, still nice black robes and interesting bases must make them look very good on table. I especially like armors and shields. Which paints have you used to reach this effect?
Thans Kris. Armor are painted the simpliest way I guess. Boltgun Metal, washed With Badab Black, then another leyer of Boltgun metal , highlightes succesively with Chainmall and Mithril Silver, then a wash of watered down Badab Black is added to emphasis shades and slightly watered Gryphonne Sepia for the worn out look. If you like you can give it a subtle drybrush with mithril silver.
