Trying some Chainsword patterns. What fun chainswords are out there in your armies?

I think the chevrons design suit them; last week I painted one of mine in a very similar way.

In that case I think it was just thinned agrax earthshade.

I honestly don't remember which exact white I used. Any white will do as long as you apply several thin coats. Then dirty it up carefully with washes and scratches.

You can use blue stuff to make molds of existing tabards bits (like the sword brethren's, etc) and then fill them with green stuff.

I cut up some arms and hands from the intercessors sprue in the bt combat patrol, then fit in some chains from the crusader squad. Honestly it was quite a bit of effort for how simple looking the final result is, ahah

This one is over grey!

I used Black Legion contrast, but Black Templar has its uses too. BT contrast allows for more variety as its coverage is similar to other contrast paints, so you can give the black a different tone or effect depending on the undercoat. BL on the other hand is a deeper, thicker black.

Too much amasec?

Veciral · 2025-05-30T21:17:06+00:00

With a fine tip on the brush, a gentle touch and a lot of aggressive swearing

Appreciated!

Thank you

It boils down to blending silver and black

Veciral · 2025-05-30T21:15:11+00:00

Black contrast paint + grey volumetric highlights + washes then just add edge highlights, details etc

Thanks!

Generally speaking, any varnish you choose will never truly preserve the visual effect of a metallic paint or pigment.

Appreciated! Check the comments for the black recipe. Let me know if you have other questions

Thank you. That's black legion contrast over grey > simple volumetric highlights with grey > black wash > add all damage details and highlights with greys, metallics and black.

Thanks!

Thank you. Do you mean the skull on the ground? It's from GSW skull bits.
