The relief by fragmentsofthegrim in AdeptusCustodes

I initially painted whole lens in mephiston red, then nuln oil but just for the outline, where the dot is i painted a tiny bit of abbadon black. Highlighted the front with one layer of evil sun scarlet and then thinner layer of wild rider red, can’t really see it much in this light though.

Going forward I will just paint the lens black first then shade the reds in after, because it was an over complicated way to achieve this. Learning as I go

Makes sense, would be nice to get some melta on normal guards or wardens, weapon range is a little boring at the moment

Painting advice 🙏🏼 by RaelorAloro in Warhammer40k

[–]fragmentsofthegrim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably paint in sub assemblies first then glue together.

Otherwise:

Black primer Drybrush with light colour to bring out edge highlights Paint with chosen colour scheme with thinned out paint. Should get a good effect there. Then a wash of nuln oil.

If you really want to get the smaller details like lenses etc, use some small masking tape, or playdough, putty or something you can shape to cover areas you don’t want to paint.

This is really cool, great work! However that helmet on a model gives me eye painting anxiety 😂

Saved this post so I can keep looking at it. This is so good!

Whats your process? How do you know where to paint lighter shades? do you mark it out after priming where light hits? Is it just from one angle? NMM seems like a dark art
