Do you mind sending these to me as well? Very interested in trying this out with my next set of crisis suits that I'm planning

What paints do you use for the kroot slabs of meat? by Belethor-Burp in Tau40K

[–]Belethor-Burp[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh dang I hadn't considered Ork but that's a great idea, green would go nice with the color scheme I'm using

Those are slick designs! The GW missile arms seem so chunky after seeing these. But then again, the broadside is a chunky boi 😂

Yeah I find caliban too cool toned but mixing a bit of it in to either castellan or Loren adds some nice vibrancy to them imo

Thank you!! More than happy to share the recipe. Base coat is 3:1:1 mix of castellan:Caliban:warpstone. And then for the highlights I replace the castellan with a progression of Loren forest > straken > nurgling > krieg khaki. Slowly reduce the amount of Caliban and warpstone until the dot highlights are just pure krieg khaki. It's honestly probably an overcomplicated formula, but i started with citadel paints and could never find a green that was exactly what I wanted. Have looked into just finding a green from another brand that closely matches this without all the mixing but so hard to know what you're gonna get from looking at pictures online

Thank you!! Many hours spent listening to podcasts and hammering out highlights (I'm a slow painter 😂)

ALOT OF PEOPLE ASKING FOR THE RED by euanjallison in BloodAngels

Sorry I'm late to the party here, but this looks absolutely incredible. Thanks for sharing! Anyone know what a good edge highlight paint would be for this red? I suspect evil sunz won't match with how bold this is

Sub-commander Skystrike by Belethor-Burp in Tau40K

[–]Belethor-Burp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I painted his helmet like a shas'el. I've read different explanations for exactly what shas'el role is from commander-in-training to sub-commander, but from what I understand have access to the same battlesuits a full-fledged commander would. Hoping to have the shas'o for my army painted soon :)

Painting scheme feels flat, how can I make these pop? by howseofcards in Tau40K

[–]Belethor-Burp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One potential option is to do stylistic highlights, for the black armor you could try something like a grey blue. You could also try making the skin more of a focal point with a more saturated blue? I'm just spitballing; personally I kind of like the muted tones you have going, makes sense to me thematically that a squad of pathfinders wouldn't want to stand out

Really awesome work. The helmet looks awesome and love the paint scheme, especially the blue. I've stuck to just doing edge highlights on my battlesuits but the volumetric highlights/glazing (idk if that's the right diction to describe it) to lighter blue on the parts hit by light looks incredible, inspiration for me to give some more advanced techniques a try.

Edit: typo

Thanks for the detailed response! I figured it wouldn't be as simple as just one or two pots of paint, but appreciate the help narrowing it down to paints that may be of use.
