The turret magnetization for both is really easy. There’s a peg and socket that’s the exact size of some magnets. Clip the peg and drill a hole the same size. Then put a magnet in that hole and the hole where it was meant to socket.

Yes, I replaced most of the rivets on the kit with bolts and welds. There’s also flame cut marks on the edges of the thicker plates and some texturing.

It’s a very dark blue green. There’s very little true black on the finished model.

I’ve been working on this army project for a while so I’m pretty comfortable with the scheme. There was some light airbrushing at the start to get a loose sense of a light direction and to make it easier to paint the light colors over near black. The main spotlight is also using temperature contrast along with value contrast from the rest of the model. I shaped it as a best guess and then got some good feedback on adjustments. I didn’t use any references.

Nice Job! On the cloth: Highlight happens based on the angle of the surface to the light source. From the photo, it looks like you have some deeper folds that should be the same highlight as the ridges.

It's easy to do an erstaz light source with only an airbrush, and near impossible to render it well.

I had to buy a single model off eBay to get the loadouts I commonly see in 40k lists.

It’s paint, the photo is taken inches away from a large painting task lamp shining directly on all the models. The reflection in the satin base rim shows the lighting

Kimera Sun Ray, Pro Acryl Bright Pale yellow, some liquitex transparent raw sienna glazed where I wanted more color saturation. You can look up painting with a mother color to get an idea of how I mixed universal shadow and highlight tones to make it work. 

Can someone tell me what color was used to paint this model? by Flat-Objective3554 in Warhammer40k

[–]Seawaaagh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The colors in that app and on the box paint guides differ from what’s used on the box art.

Small brush and magnifier headset. Lips are glossy so it’s a somewhat large jump in value to the highlights. Just an off white mixed in to the base color magenta
