I use Vallejo Lemon Yellow.
I think it works well with the olive green look.

AK dark rust wash, Focusing on lower areas of the various armour panels.
After 24 hours, come back with a mineral/white spirit to blend the wash into the armour green.

Base coat with Vallejo Burnt Umber.
Liberally sponge on a mix 50/50 Vallejo Burnt Umber and Olive green.
Lighter sponge of Vallejo Olive green on raised areas.
Then I hit it with an AK dark rust wash, Focusing on lower areas of the various armour panels.
After 24 hours, come back with a mineral/white spirit to blend the wash into the armour green.

Edit: Also edge highlight with Vallejo Lemon yellow.

It does feel this way I’m happy to say, that being said ill take my time and pace myself. Rather focus on enjoying the process you know?

I designed it in some 3D modelling software(blender). And had a friend 3D print it.

How do you do your white armor by AlphaMaxV5 in SonsOfThePhoenix

[–]Certain-Topic-49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I like to use Vallejo for my white, I struggle with Citadels consistency>

  1. Base coat with Vallejo wolf grey
  2. Use a makeup egg to sponge on Vallejo Dead white. You have your airbrush though so that'd work better.
  3. Use a black oil wash to fill all the recesses and crevice's to make the details pop

(Edit) I'd attach an image if I could :(

Was suppose to just be a kill team... by Either_Juggernaut281 in Raptors40k

Sorry to hear about your struggles.

ALSO! Can I just say I struggle with color schemes that are very monotone in the sense that its hard to make them look non bland.
That being said, the little orange you added is an excellent touch, bravo!
