I have been struggling to find what order I wanted to go with, really wanted to do sacred rose but was terrified to do white armor. Followed along with this video and I was able to reproduce about the same quality as was shone here thanks to you. Much appreciated man.
yes, eventually I need to do my storm troopers for imperial assault and looking at them, you're best just going with a white primer, glossy finish and maybe the mildest of shading
I currently play Custodies and sisters of silence, but my partner is playing Sisters and we both agree this would be the best!! Just from the painting i am so excited to paint them!! thank yo so much for sharing with us!!!
Ooh! Have fun. :D Make sure to stop in at a Z service station and pick up a mince and cheese pie while you're there! It's a small thing, but best road snacks you'll ever have.
I use Gravelord Grey Speedpaint for the boltgun and it comes out really good without the metallic shine. Then I can use gunmetal for the barrel and magazine to separate the stock from the external parts.
Very neat, I use GW Apothecary White for base, but your method surely works better for armours, logically shading on a surcoat it's different . It's a pity that GW stopped selling single figures as in the past, except for some (very costly) characters.
That is really nicely done, I'm thinking this could work quite well for Imperial stormtroopers for SW: Legion as well. I've never heard of "marine juice" before, might have to mix up some for myself! Thank you and happy painting!
I'm using Contrast Medium with my current mix of Marine Juice. I like it better than Lahmian Medium because you get the same thinning of the paint but you also get some of the contrast paint properties. It really contracts back into the recesses and leaves the flat surfaces a bit less shaded.
I think if you want to reduce some time/get a different color out of the boltgun, when you do the black grey layer, you could also just throw that on the bolter. I prefer a dark undercoat for metal like that and it could save some time on a second coat there. Did you try/consider that and decide against it or just not something you thought was necessary?
I've found that Iron Hands Steel - and most metallics, really - will still need a second coat even over black to get a smooth, solid finish to them. It doesn't really save any time to put down the black or black grey on the bolter first, versus just putting a couple coats of metal on it over the white. The end result is more or less the same, and saves that fractional amount of time. It adds up across an army!
Is it allowed to have a love hate distance relationship with you? I love the easyness of the painting and the great outcome, but i hate that i usually end up doing my own painting in a way difficulter (yes it's a correct word) way.. keep up the fantastic videos!
I'm sure it'd work fine, but the point in this method is having everything shaded using the same all-over wash to save time. Soulblight Grey would give a much cleaner, slightly lighter finish, I'd guess.
In your experience would this technique work well for a bunch of white coats/cloth? I'm trying to decide how to do some 20mm Finns in snowsuits for WW2 and have been looking at various quick white approaches.
It'll almost certainly work just the same. I like to use the makeup brushes since it's a little harder to go overboard, but a drybrush is a drybrush as long as you're not applying too much paint at a time.
Probably, but it's far quicker to just *dry* drybrush and let the varnish cover up the chalkiness if it emerges. Wetting your drybrush is another step where things can get out of hand and go sideways.
Where did you get the stickers for the sisters of rose? Is there a set they come with? I currently am building some and this was the exact guide I needed to see thank you!
I've done black power armour a few times by now, too! 😅 The Deathwatch guide is probably the closest to how I see Dark Angels - none of the blue tint you see in some black armour, all monochrome and sinister.
I do not understand how people can put metalics over white and get it looking alright. Whenever I do it it ends up very dull and as if the white eats up the metalic shine. So now I always pre paint it black for metals and brown for gold since I’ve gotten tired of sad looking metal colors :(
