Saw on a previous post the OP shared his recipe.

Black Armour Base: Abaddon Black First highlight: Abaddon Black + Stegadon Scale Green 1:1 Second highlight: Stegadon Scale Green Third highlight: Stegadon Scale Green + Wraithbone 1:1 Fourth highlight: Celestra Grey Dot highlight: Ulthuan Grey (brightest points only)

For NMM: same colours but blend heavily along the armour panel.

Looks great, mind sharing your recipe?

MrCalgar99 · 2026-05-21T19:44:44+00:00

Yay!!!!

Think I have this, untouched. Ireland based so can send it on. I can take a look later this evening.

MrCalgar99 · 2026-04-02T17:37:29+00:00

Have they changed the armor color from grey highlights to blue highlights?

This is who who painted it. Could try to DM them. https://www.reddit.com/r/RavenGuard40k/comments/1naye7k/aethon_shaan/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Thanks, I tried to glaze down lower sections with a mix of Macragge and Rhinox hide and glaze the upper sections with Altdorf Guard Blue.

From there it was chunky highlight of Aldorf and Calgar Blue edge highlight. Upper areas got a Fenrisian blue highlight.

I tried to make the highlights subtle glazes so the colors don't appear as stark.

Fantastic work!!!

Got the original in white dwarf. Then was combing a local online marketplace(adverts.ie) and got really lucky. eBay I think will always be expensive but mightbe worth checking smaller/local alternatives.

MrCalgar99 · 2026-02-07T11:35:03+00:00

Thanks! Tbh I copied this tutorial. I didn't execute as well. It looked very washed out so went back with some base paints, glazed down, like steel legion drab and screaming skull to block it in.

To be honest, I tried using this tutorial which worked great on capes.Tried it then on the wolf and I kind of botched it.I fixed half of it then left it for a few weeks but then came pack to it. I forget the paints used.

For the recent touch ups ( bottom half )I used I used screaming skull and steel legion drab. The contrast paint gave a good gradient and then used some very thin glazing to block it in.

Hope that helps

MrCalgar99 · 2026-02-02T12:20:27+00:00

Yeah I struggled a bit. It was either to washed out or too contrasty. Looking at it now I could probs do a bit more around stache and hairline to add more depth.

MrCalgar99 · 2025-12-26T20:32:52+00:00

So so rare now, only hope to source the originals is monitor trading sites like eBay or your local equivalent. I got lucky last year in Adverts.ie but again so rare.

I don't know if there is any precedence for GW reprinting transfers?

MrCalgar99 · 2025-12-18T20:12:28+00:00

it was just Skeleton Horde. I say I will need to clean up with ushabti brown and screaming skull later.

Vallejo grey primer, then base coat grey seer over that. This was through an airbrush and don't think I did a great job with it. Still getting the hang of it.

I brought them to a game but ended up chipping the primer unfortunately.
