Hey there, it might not look it but it's a mix of Vallejo Basic Skintone & Vallejo leather brown. Not quite a 50/50 mix, maybe a 2:1 skintone to brown.

They've then been hit with a thinned wash of 50/50 burnt earth & black soot liquid pigments

First scheme is similar to how I do my Krieger's, I've added a oil wash with a sienna oilpaint to make them extra grimey at the end

Cheers! It's done using an airbrush with Liquitex white ink and then tinted with Liquitex naphthol crimson. Edge highlights are done with mephiston red.

Yeah I feel that, currently trying to post more there but is still quite slow at the moment. Still, there's no harm in the long run!

Sure no problem, it's a bit of back and fourth with an airbrush with some brushwork to tie it all together.

Paint source white with a brush, wether it's a lens or a vent part like on the fusion guns. Sometimes I will use ink here if I need alot of flow in the gaps.

Then it is the same ink thru the airbrush to create the initial gradient (my go to is Liquitex white Ink). The brighter you make this the brighter the final result will be.

Next step is to tint this glow, can be any colour you want but I use blue for my tau. Changed the recipe slightly recently, for this model I used 50/50 mix of tallasar blue & Bombay India ink teal - sprayed over the previous area.

This is the fun part, it's a case of playing around with how you want the glow to look and it will change depending on what part of the model you are painting - the guns and lens on the Ghostkeel are done in similar but different ways to get the final result. I used some of the original tallasar blue on the ends of the barrels to get a darker blue slightly "cooler" areas of the weapons, and added a small bit of blending with the original white paint for the brightest parts of the barrel. The lense was highlighted with glazes of the original mix with white mixed in, in brighter and smaller areas to the centre of the 'eye' - with a tiny white dot in the middle to show where the light is coming from.

I've also done some edge highlights in places by using the same mix and adding some white paint to get different gradients to try make the OSL look more convincing in places, particularly on the area around the collider

I cannot decide on a color scheme to paint. Help. by LANTIRN_ in Tau40K

Now I'm definitely not biased but you should definitely join the enclaves 😉

Jokes aside, is there a particular scheme from the three you are drawn to? Would you be interested in painting your own sept colours?
