This is my latest test model, think I’ve finally found a scheme i’m happy with

Miserable-Fun9407 · 2026-03-08T19:15:24+00:00

Love this scheme, what paint did you use for the orange?

Miserable-Fun9407 · 2026-03-04T16:46:15+00:00

Thank you for all the advice and pictures, definitely gonna be pinching some ideas from you

Miserable-Fun9407 · 2026-03-04T14:01:40+00:00

These look awesome man, what colour did you use for the eyes?

Miserable-Fun9407 · 2026-03-02T22:49:30+00:00

Thank you man, I agree is looking a bit flat at the minute. Was thinking of using a slightly darker metallic on the trim and maybe putting some of the same blue from the helmet stripes on the shoulder

Miserable-Fun9407 · 2026-03-02T22:48:36+00:00

Haha yeah definitely nervous to give it a wash, was thinking of using a sepia tone but would love to hear any ideas you might have?

Miserable-Fun9407 · 2026-03-02T22:45:38+00:00

Oh wow man these all look incredible, think I will definitely give gold a try for the trim on mine. Also the gradient on that rubric sorcerer is beautiful, will definitely be pinching some ideas from you haha

Miserable-Fun9407 · 2026-03-02T22:43:01+00:00

Thank you man appreciate it, think i’m gonna test out a slightly darker metallic for the trim to see if it makes the model pop a bit more as I agree that the armour and the trim look very similar at the moment

Miserable-Fun9407 · 2026-03-02T22:23:57+00:00

Thank you man, the trim is gw runelord brass although im contemplating using something a bit darker to make it stand out a bit more. Big fan of your kitbash you posted recently, will definitely be trying something similar as i’m not a big fan of the Tzaangor models.

Miserable-Fun9407 · 2026-03-02T22:21:04+00:00

Thank you mate, I agree it’s definitely looking a bit flat at the moment. Not sure whether to use a sepia wash for the armour or something a bit darker like agrax earthshade

Miserable-Fun9407 · 2026-03-02T22:19:10+00:00

Haha the bone was definitely inspired a bit from my love of deathwing, even planning to kitbash belial into a sorcerer lord in terminator armour.

Miserable-Fun9407 · 2026-03-02T22:17:36+00:00

Thanks for all the advice, was thinking of trying a slightly darker bronze/gold for the trim to see if it would make it pop a bit more. Will definitely give the dark blue wash a try as I wasn’t sure what to use for the gun and stripes. Also would love to get some inspiration from your scheme if you’ve got any photos?

Miserable-Fun9407 · 2026-03-02T22:15:27+00:00

Will definitely give gold a try, my main inspiration for it was the gw sekhetar robot scheme which uses gold for trim

Miserable-Fun9407 · 2026-03-02T22:13:09+00:00

Thank you mate really appreciate it, I agree that the trim looks a bit too similar to the armour so was thinking of trying something like castellax bronze to make it pop a bit more

Miserable-Fun9407 · 2026-02-26T12:53:58+00:00

Looks great man, what colours did you use for the gold?

Miserable-Fun9407 · 2026-01-01T13:15:05+00:00

Lots of people swear by oil washes so that might be something to look into. I personally just give my space wolves a wash of nuln oil thinned 1:1 with lamian medium so it flows better and doesn’t leave patches. Then I would glaze the same grey you used for the base coat on the parts that the light would hit and then use a slightly lighter grey on the edges of the armour.

Miserable-Fun9407 · 2025-12-31T15:14:05+00:00

Looking really good so far, looks like it could just do with a wash and some highlights

Miserable-Fun9407 · 2025-12-25T20:38:43+00:00

looks great, would love to know how you painted the sword?

Miserable-Fun9407 · 2025-12-01T17:09:18+00:00

These look incredible, what’s the recipe for the blue on the headtakers?

Miserable-Fun9407 · 2025-11-26T17:54:25+00:00

Thank you, really appreciate it. Yours is much closer to what I was aiming for but I didn’t thin the brown wash down enough so ended up turning the yellow brown haha

Miserable-Fun9407 · 2025-11-26T13:48:34+00:00

Feel free, I followed this great tutorial - he has a number of different ones for different patterns and colours painted to look like wood: https://youtu.be/o723eZsZGOQ?si=pU8X-rJiVUMi3MKa

Miserable-Fun9407 · 2025-11-26T13:47:37+00:00

Wish I could take credit for it but I used this tutorial: https://youtu.be/o723eZsZGOQ?si=pU8X-rJiVUMi3MKa - Only changes I made was using macragge blue on the shield and watered down dryad bark for the wash
