    Years ago I wasn't a fan of the 30k series of models but now it's grown on me. Really love those paint schemes for the original legions.

      It's taken a while for me to come around on them, but there's a certain clunky, angry charm to the Mk III armour that's hard to pass up. Especially since they started doing plastic kits for them!

    I like the Gunship Green as it looks a little subtle. I will make up a batch of the wash as it really looks great on the figure. Thanks for sharing this and the wash recipe.

      A couple of people have mentioned using the early war German Uniform Green from Vallejo for a slightly richer colour, and that would work well in its place. I prefer the slightly more grey, muted look from this, but everything's a matter of taste!

    This is great little tutorial. I'll be sure to give the "Marine Juice" a try sometime. One thing regarding the eyes:
    The glow effect will be much more impactful if there is more dark colour around the glow. So, darkening the recess with nuln oil or black paint, then doing a much thinner white line might work a little better. I also find brighter colours like Blood Angels Red or Warp Lightning work a little better for this effect, too.

    • @SonicSledgehammerStudio
      @SonicSledgehammerStudio  4 роки тому

      True on the eyes, and something I'd spend the time on if I were painting Sergeants or characters. For the line infantry, though, they can go marching out the door as quickly as possible! ;D

    Such a good colour. Any thoughts on an approach for a painting skitarii cloaks in a worn leather look..steampunk/wildwest inspired? Thanks

    • @SonicSledgehammerStudio
      @SonicSledgehammerStudio  4 роки тому +2

      'Leather' is such a broad range of colours it's hard to just settle on one. Something like Mournfang Brown or Vallejo's Leather Brown would be nice, rich and darker colours - shade with Nuln Oil, highlight with the base colour again and go for a slightly brighter brown to highlight. Or something like Vallejo Mahogany Brown shaded with Agrax Earthshade looks great with a Vallejo Red Leather highlight. That's much warmer and probably would look better maintained than you're thinking, at a guess, but worth looking at.

    • @SonicSledgehammerStudio
      @SonicSledgehammerStudio  3 роки тому +1

      I couldn't really say. I don't have it to compare. Honestly, I think a cool grey helps pull away some of the green from the final finish, but if you wanted that then you could try Light Green Blue and see how it looks.

    • @SonicSledgehammerStudio

      If you need a final bright highlight after following all the other steps, using Administratum Grey as your edge colour will strengthen where you've drybrushed it and make that highlight much sharper.
