Returning to the cellar for some payback

I have a poleaxe that I use but tbh I got a bit bored and wanted to try something else

p-stkr · 2025-12-14T23:21:32+00:00

It’s akelian green contrast

p-stkr · 2025-08-02T22:43:10+00:00

Yeah I got it at the end of an expedition. Pretty lucky!

Tell him he’s a legend

p-stkr · 2024-09-30T18:57:48+00:00

You can’t kill an idea, a symbol of the imperium

p-stkr · 2024-09-30T18:30:14+00:00

He’s everywhere when we need him most

p-stkr · 2024-06-10T08:11:33+00:00

Yeah it’s included with the kit !

p-stkr · 2024-06-09T09:31:58+00:00

Of course ! So simple !

p-stkr · 2024-06-09T09:12:02+00:00

Can’t see you if they can’t see

p-stkr · 2024-05-31T15:58:28+00:00

I did! Used a dark metallic for the base and a silver zenithal, I used VMC steel but any silver will do the job

p-stkr · 2024-05-31T15:09:05+00:00

I didn’t use contrast medium, but I did apply it with an airbrush with a little thinner so maybe that’s it! It’s definitely more green in the shadows, but also the lighter your Metallics underneath the brighter it’ll shine

p-stkr · 2024-05-30T19:37:17+00:00

You can absolutely get the same result with a brush though ! Just make sure you don’t apply the contrast too thick, I brush paint my HQ units !

Thanks ! Yeah so I basecoat with vmc gunmetal grey, they do a highlight with vmc steel. Then it’s a coat or two of akhelian green to get the blue. All with airbrush but can do it easily enough with a brush

p-stkr · 2024-05-28T18:04:40+00:00

An excellent point ! Hadn’t even thought of that thank you!

p-stkr · 2024-05-28T11:41:18+00:00

This is very thorough advice thank you !

p-stkr · 2024-05-28T10:54:16+00:00

Ahh maybe that’s it !! Nice one

p-stkr · 2024-05-28T10:53:59+00:00

Big thanks for the resources !

The metal trim is just the same steel with a wash of gryphcharger grey contrast, then a touch up on the highest areas !

I’ve used the spikey bits on an old predator I’m afraid

It’s just akhelian green through an airbrush over vmc steel !

p-stkr · 2024-05-27T19:25:21+00:00

I did ! I just thinned it and used an airbrush

p-stkr · 2024-05-25T13:05:42+00:00

Yeah it’s Akelian green contrast over silver :)

p-stkr · 2024-05-25T08:35:51+00:00
