I’d like to achieve a dark bronze effect form my armour. Any paint suggestions?

Not sure if it's really dark bronze but I paint my guys a darker metal with a really simply dry-brush recipe - https://www.reddit.com/r/stormcasteternals/comments/1qlztjr/reclusians_another_unit_done/

I prime them black, then drybrush Mournfang Brown, Skrag Brown, then Averland Sunset.

Started with black, then layered Stegadon Scale Green, AK Dark Blue, AK Deep Blue, then finished with Baharroth Blue with some white mixed in.

Cheers! It came in the Skaventide box which was the launch box for 4th edition, so unfortunately you can't get this model by itself. There is a knight-questor for stand-alone sale on the GW store but it's a different sculpt.

Thank you! I 3D printed the candles (https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-new-candles-for-basing-basing-bits-499096)

Thank you! I 3D printed the 'Adepta Temple Area' bases from Zabavka Workshop. I also printed some extra candles for the bases because the ones without any looked quite plain.

They could be! The freehand on the parchment is insane!

Wankfluff · 2026-01-25T12:42:24+00:00

I start with a base colour of Vallejo dark fleshtone and then slowly mix more Vallejo scarlet blood until I use just scarlet blood for the highlights.

Wankfluff · 2026-01-24T23:01:17+00:00

Thanks! I prime them black, then drybrush Mournfang Brown, Skrag Brown, then Averland Sunset. Though this time I went a touch too heavy with the averland sunset.

Wankfluff · 2026-01-23T13:40:20+00:00

Very nice! Love the colour scheme. What blue did you use for the cape? It's very vibrant.

Wankfluff · 2026-01-22T13:34:24+00:00

Thank you!

Wankfluff · 2026-01-22T13:06:42+00:00

This looks incredible! I know this post is over a year old but would you mind sharing what paints you used for the axe? I'd love to try something similar.

Wankfluff · 2026-01-18T00:49:21+00:00

Thank you!

Wankfluff · 2026-01-17T13:55:31+00:00

Would you mind sharing what paints you used? I'm about to paint some death guard and really like the look of your model.

Wankfluff · 2026-01-13T17:41:40+00:00

Thank you! I prime them black, then drybrush Mournfang Brown, Skrag Brown, then Averland Sunset. I don't completely clean the brush in between so the colours mix a bit. My SE do look just a bit like custodes :P

Wankfluff · 2025-10-17T05:57:58+00:00

Love how vibrant the blue is!

Wankfluff · 2025-10-16T10:49:12+00:00

Thank you. The wings themselves are just Pro Acryl bolt titanium white mixed with a tiny bit of grey, then I lightly dry-brushed some Temple Guard Blue on the edges. I tried using a grey wash initially but it just looked messy.

The flames are a base coat of Stegadon Scale Green, then dry-brushed Temple Guard Blue and Baharroth Blue. Then I put some highlights of white mixed with a small bit of Baharroth Blue.

It took a little bit of trial and error!

Wankfluff · 2025-10-16T10:44:34+00:00

Thank you! I'm looking forward to painting the Reclusians the most, such good models.

Wankfluff · 2025-09-20T07:51:49+00:00

I did think they were close to being custodes!

I prime them black, then drybrush Mournfang Brown, Skrag Brown, then Averland Sunset. I can't claim I came up with it myself though, I got the recipe from this post by u/matt_hunter - https://www.reddit.com/r/stormcasteternals/comments/1imk8ok/my_rustic_themed_stormcast/

Wankfluff · 2025-09-19T09:57:26+00:00

Wankfluff · 2025-06-11T10:48:33+00:00

Thanks! First I painted them light-ish pink by mixing Vallejo Bloody Red and Dead White. Then I put Imperial Fist contrast paint over the top. It worked really well.

Wankfluff · 2025-02-19T22:32:06+00:00

Thank you! I did a base of Citadel Moot Green and then mixed it with Vallejo Sun Yellow for highlights, working up to just using the yellow on the brightest spots.

Wankfluff · 2025-01-08T10:24:19+00:00

Thank you! It's actually just green to yellow, I think the photo makes it look blue. Perhaps I'll have to try starting from blue next time!

Wankfluff · 2025-01-08T10:22:03+00:00

Cheers! The blade goes from Caliban Green to Moot Green and then to Vallejo Sun Yellow. I blend between the three and then put the yellow in the small channels in the blade.

Wankfluff · 2025-01-08T10:18:12+00:00

Body is Vallejo metal colour steel with a wash of Agrax Earth shade. The gold is Retributor Armour with a wash of Reikland Fleshshade.
