Very nice Method, I think i'll use this for black armor of chaplains. The Dark Rubber color is hard to get in my area, do you have an idea for a substitut?
I'm coming up with my own Homebrew and stumbled upon this beaut of a model. The colours are similar to the Destroyer colours of 30k, most Destroyer units wore a blackened or greyed colour scheme throughout. Maybe this chapter was originally a Destroyer outfit within the Fists that eventually became its own Chapter, much like Nemisis for the Ultramarines. Just an idea if you are planning creating some Lore. They look amazing.
Thanks to your method, i have +2000 points of greenskins (+200 miniatures) after 2 months. I used xpress colour and the result is very similar. Thank you again, now i dont hate painting.
I don't know why but I don't like this technique at all, maybe it's because I'm used to more advanced techniques that give more emphasis to the colors than using an old sponge to give it an antique effect.😂
@rickyspanish6596 I use both and oil is easier to work with as a wash. Any mistake you make is easily fixed. You don't have baby sit the wash and make sure it doesn't pool like you do with acrylics. I'm guessing you've either never used oil or are new to the hobby and think slathering your minis in devlan mud is the best thing since sliced bread. Try reductive painting with oil paints, it's a game changer.
@rickyspanish6596 Do you have any actual reason why you feel this way or do you always try to silence people with implied threats of social ostracization when you get some push back?
Hey man, amazing job! What paints did you use for airbrushing? I can't find the same colors in air-paints selections. Altdorf guard blue is only available in Citadel Layer range. Thanks!
Stone Hearts - Descended from the stoic Imperial Fists, these cold marines recruit from a near stone age world. The men there attributed materials and precious goods to people in their naming process. When the Astartes came and claimed the hard cold world as their recruiting grounds they heartlessly pulled children from their tribes and mothers and put them through brutal trials of aspirants. The primitive people would soon come to accept their new way of life of subservience to these large impenetrable warriors. In the end calling these reapers of their young the Stone Hearts. Devoid of love and unbreakable hides. However this callous nature did not only extend to the primitives of the Imperium but all. As they heeded no cry for help unless directed by orders and spare none in their path. Inquisitors will enjoy the company of a kill team of these Marines for more dubious missions, ones that others might question or flinch at. The Stone Hearts however carry out their duty with stern cold hearts.
Yeah sometimes coming up with the name is the hardest part. How about The Grey Ghosts? The marine on display there looks like his chapter has spent quite a bit of time around Raven Guard and learned to adapt their ways of war into the classic Dornian style.
Nice video. I see some similar comments about mixing the techniques, and I'd say the same: the same first few steps with the airbrush, maybe even SLIGHTLY lighter in the mid-tones, followed by a thinned wash/contrast (50/50, or maybe ever 60% thinner/water to 40% contrast - if you use the new Agrax I don't think you would need much thinner at all, and very little if so) just to bring out the textures a bit more in the lighter areas, and THEN do those few thin lines for highlights. You could also drybrush, of course, but the "classic" thin line highlight looks crisper and neater, so if you've got the time do that instead. Then also the same for the face as the airbrush version; white ink followed by Aethermatic Blue, maybe even a 2nd very careful layer in some of the deepest recesses. But overall a great result for anyone looking for a good tabletop standard, like you said! :)
Nice, thank you. I usually start cleaning the oil wash right way, when it ii's still wet. Allows you to modulate tone a lot more, than when it's dry already
Just bought an imperial guard combat patrol and this is the scheme I’m going with. The finished product looks amazing. Did you do any highlights to the model? It looks like there are subtle highlights, but that might just be because the oil was removed from the edges during the qtip stage. You should revisit this tutorial with the new guard models!
