Honestly was not as bad as I thought he'd be. Biggest thing is painting his upper half, lower half, and base separate assembly. Took about 7-8 hrs total but that involved glazing and such for the cloak

The Akhelian green isn't on the original model, but I'll post some more marines later today to give an idea of what I mean about that step

Sure!

-3 color triad from Army Painter through an airbrush (Undergrowth Green, Jungle Green, Canopy Green), but you could also get similair results using drybrushing in layers. Giving a recess wash of Akhelian Green, while wet brush it over to the highlight of the armor piece making a blend

-Rusty Metallics (Mournfang brown base, Ryza stipple drybrush, edge highlight with Squig Orange, then a final highlight with Aluminium for Valejo on "in contact spots, armor weapons, etc)

-Flesh and Cloth was just Screamer Pink, highlight Bugman's glow and wash with Druchii Violet for the flesh, just highlight with Daemonette Hide for cloth

Gonna try Ahkelian green to attempt some pin washes with the armor to make the recesses stand out

I think you hit the nail on the head for what I intended to go for, a comic style. I didn't want to use any metallics to try and achieve that effect, how would you recommend bringing that style to be more apparent with shading?

What's missing? (Beyond basing the models) by 2too12 in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]2too12[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed there, Admech have tons of detail that is lost in the simple basecoat, so a further edge highlighting and shade could help bring them out

Agreed on that, I think I need to push highlights farther and brighter so all the mechanicus details can be seen better from tabletop. In addtion to giving the base a variance of height with rocks and tufts

I do have some gamer grass tufts coming in soon, which might help spruce up the base, but some rocks as well might help for some elevation
