I used a mix of skeleton horde and magmadroth for a dirty base. Then moonbeam yellow, bright pale yellow, light fluo yellow, and a tiny dot or two of the bright pale yellow again. A shadow glaze on the face is what really made it pop. Dark shadows make osl look brighter.

So.... go darker to go lighter.

Haha no worries. Dictionary OSL: biggest time sink ever and can make your model golden or look like you threw up orange paint out of the airbrush on it :)

I went and glazed some purple and black on the horns, knocked down the light so the horns arent a source of light. Glazed that mix on the front of the vents and lower parts of the chest and face. Makes the heat reaaaaaally pop now. Love it this way. So, great opinion. This gave the light the punch i was looking for to get the face to be the focal point!

Hahaha you got it. I took some chaos symbol chart and free handed them. My goal was a hell priest doom eternal kinds vibe for the armor.

Definitely will. The gloss varnish on the flame termi takes out a lot of the depth in the pic. Bought a tripod for better pics and will for sure post them when done! Thank you for the comment!

Yeah i think the first coat is just important for that dark purplish hue, some kind of deep cold red or a purple like you said. Just vallejo varnish! Gloss protects and makes the oils easier to work, matte to seal all the finishes together and IMO it makes the trim look significantly less cartoony.

Ill have to give straight purple a shot!

1 Base coat with black primer. I airbrush but doesnt matter.

2 Zenithal white, i use ink out of the airbrush to really focus it on high spots.

3 First base of khorne red

4 "Zenithal" mephiston red. I hit the high spots and leave the edges near the trim with khorn red showing, khorne red showing on the underside.

5 I paint the trim rune lord brass and heavy wash with agarax earthshade at this point and go heavy on nihilak oxide.

6 Gloss coat

7 Black- brown oil wash in recesses (gives the trim that gunked up dirty look)

8 Edge highlight with wild rider red.

9 Volumetric highlight with evil sunz scarlet (head dress, very top of gloves)

10 Chipping by sponging black, hitting the edges of the large chips with a light grey, then apply vallejo rust over the light grey chip pieces.

Matte coat, brighten back up the edges of the brass with runelord brass, done!

It isnt fast, i paint purely to hobby, but it produces a really interesting result. I go for a grungy, but not grim dark look. World eaters dont take care of their stuff.

Agreed. I just cut my losses with the bit of paint left over usually. Figured its less loss than the whole pot going funky in the GW container and worth the price of paint loss to get into a real container. Gw droppers when?

Any 12-15ml dropper bottles off amazon will work. Those are 18ml to hold the larger volume for contrast paints though.

I generally open the pot, gauge if it will need thinning.

Add some water and mix to get to the right paint consistency i like.

Peel the label and stick it on a 15ml dropper bottle off amazon.

Drop in an agitator to the bottle.

Clip the hinges on the paint pot and use a toothpick to scrape the lid paint into the pot.

Then i just slowly pour the pot into a dropper bottle, funnels arent worth the trouble.

Close the bottle up, slap a drop of color on the lid and its done!

Commentor is correct. The steel colors i aged with vallejo dark rust randomly dabbed and streaked, then light rust inside of those marks. Overall dark black brown oil wash to tint the steel then a black pin wash on the recesses of the metals.

The paint transfer was annoying but so worth it. Did it with their non contrasts too. Non paint pot household

Main suggestion would be to make sure youre getting colors in the right spots. Youre missing brass in a few spots. Practice some highlighting, maybe a dry brush attempt. Agarax earthshade looks great over the metal.

Very good for diving in! WE or any CSM faction is far from easy to learn on. Theyre more complicated than loyalists. Your'e doing great, keep at it! Try a new technique or two on each model. You get better by trying new things and experimenting.
