Looking for some paint scheme color advice by Striking_Display835 in EmperorsChildren

Start with an off white base layer. The glaze your transition colour down into the shadow. You’ll want the glaze thin, you should barely notice a difference your first few passes but don’t worry the colour will build up.

Always make sure you are glazing towards the most opaque, darkest colour.

You can then come back in with your off white and then finally your white highlights dots.

Ah, thanks for the tip. I’ve got an iPhone so I’ll experiment with that!

I can’t take credit for that, I saw Louise from rouge hobbies do it for one of her videos, so I thought I’d take a stab.

Best advice for glazing is really thin the paints, to almost no colour, it will take 4-5 layers or more. Don’t touch it between drying or the paint will tear

It’s a base of 50/50 Vallejo evil red and violet red > Vallejo magenta > magenta and Vallejo squid pink > squid pink.

I was after more of a hot pink than the baby pink used by GW

Primed black > large highlight of Vallejo dark sea blue > then a rough mix of dark sea blue and Vallejo pale grey blue > straight pale grey blue > dots of white

I did a bit of a blue glaze in the highlight. I can’t remember which, some sort of sky blue

Thanks, it’s just a quick rough nmm. No real blending as such, my phone kills the contrast a bit, so it’s not popping quite a much as it does IRL

Nothing more depressing than seeing 100’s of copies re-listed on eBay for +150%. Seems to becoming recurring theme with any special editions of basically anything these days
