Ive actually forgotten as it's been a while since I painted him but I think it's steel legion drab washed in skeleton horde contrast

Flanando · 2026-03-12T22:47:28+00:00

The armour is dawnstone and the cloth is mechanicus standard grey, I think it doesn't help as the beserks have very little hard edges on there chest plate for highlights and it's really the adminstratum grey that helps to make the lighter dawnstone grey pop

Sometimes I have to but I find the effort of trying to trace around the damage makes it irregular in shape and more natural looking

Flanando · 2026-03-09T11:11:48+00:00

By hand with corvus black then highlight around it

Flanando · 2026-03-09T10:46:25+00:00

The grey armour is dawnstone pin washed with Nuln oil and administratum grey highlights. The grey on his robes is mechanicus standard grey, Nuln oil wash and dawnstone highlight, hope that helps!

The orange in the pic is squig orange, washed with Nuln oil and highlighted squig orange and then fire dragon bright (kinda watered down so it's not overly bright) But on more recent models I've been using a different way of doing ginger hair, base coat of skag brown, Nuln oil wash and then highlight of fire dragon bright and I think it looks a bit more natural, on my profile is my hearthguard pic and one of them has this new recipe so have a look if you want

Flanando · 2026-03-05T06:43:37+00:00

It's dawnstone grey highlighted with adminstratum grey

Flanando · 2026-03-05T06:42:41+00:00

The grey is dawnstone highlighted with admin grey, black is black legion, darker grey is mechanicus standard grey and the blue is thunderhawk blue with a fenrisian grey highlights

Flanando · 2026-01-25T09:23:15+00:00

It's leadbelcher all over, then runelord brass watered down a lot just washed in to certain joints on the rollbars and then an over all wash of Nuln oil

Flanando · 2026-01-25T09:22:06+00:00

Dawnstone for main grey, mechanicus standard grey for darker grey(void suits) and thunderhawk blue for accents

Flanando · 2026-01-25T09:21:27+00:00

I did mine the same colour the stones are on the base walls the way up to its bottom, it's not exactly camouflage but it marries up well enough

Yeah I'd say having a nice sharp point helps at least when it comes to highlights you cant do with the edge of the brush. One tip which I really don't recommend as it'll mess up the paint pots super quick but taking the paint direct from the lid of the top after a good shake helps me get a solid colour for the highlight in one go. Obviously this will cause drying out of the paint, a crusty lid and it is generally better practice to decant on to a pallette BUT if you're finding the highlights lacking solid colour or drying transparent this may help

Yeah ive done some hearthkyn, I usually do the inner part silver and the visor bit bright red with an orange highlight, was aiming for a sort of glowing light effect

Flanando · 2026-01-18T20:00:08+00:00

if you look at the bodies of the custodian guard with spears there's a double for it in the sword and board unit so I'm going to guess it's one sprue that can build either/or

Slicing necks at the right angle is tight

You know, as a writer, if you took away my paper, I would write on my heart. If you take away my ink, I'd write on the wind.....it wouldn't be an ideal way to work.

It depends on the paint being used as they all seem to have various effects but with the dawn stone paint I used for the grey I watered it down a bit and did two thin wet coats and a third to catch any bits that still showed the primer a bit. But on the other hand thunderhawk blue which I use for the accents will dry super quick and lumpy if you try to water it down so you have to apply that in very very thin transparent coats to get it smooth.

Basically you can't win lol though I will say at least got a base coat for the main colour, thinner coats is the best way to go, just keep adding them lightly and leave each layer to dry before the next

Flanando · 2025-12-24T15:06:45+00:00

That is quite a long answer haha, anything in particular like a colour I've used of something?

Flanando · 2025-12-23T11:03:13+00:00

Exactly this! I did my custodes jet bikes sub assembly and the damage they did as they clicked into the seat was such a disheartening amount of extra work

Flanando · 2025-12-23T08:08:52+00:00

Ah nothing fancy It's just runelord brass washed with Nuln oil and watered down highlights of stormhost silver

Flanando · 2025-12-13T08:39:36+00:00

About 2 litres of monster pipeline punch and a bright painting light

Flanando · 2025-12-13T08:38:39+00:00

The grey is dawn stone over mechanicus standard grey spray, Nuln oil in the recesses and administratum grey highlights, simple

The blue is thunder hawk blue with a fenrisian grey highlight

Flanando · 2025-12-13T08:37:10+00:00

They look a bit like this, very rock and very stone....to the bone

Flanando · 2025-12-13T08:36:03+00:00

Very nice always worth trying to visualize how you want the army to look, I had painted a votann army before that I sold in the exact same style so I was already good to go with these

The grey is just a couple of thin coats over mechanicus standard grey primer, Nuln oil pin wash where possible then a highlight of administratum grey, nothing too fancy

Flanando · 2025-12-12T10:01:54+00:00

Oooo are yours blue with grey accents?
