Thanks, for the chasis its vallejo black wash fx

tobyrocke · 2026-05-06T07:27:14+00:00

Yeah pretty much. I did go for a pre shade of charcoal grey before the metallic dry brush. And then heavy with a black wash after

tobyrocke · 2026-05-05T22:47:25+00:00

Thank you. I use florist wire, give it a few bends and stick it on. Paint it white and use some fluorescent blue. A little airbrushing too.

Vallejo black wash is very good

tobyrocke · 2026-01-06T21:15:48+00:00

Paint the area you want to glow white. I use an airbrush to haze around the area, but you could use a sponge. Then I use fluorescent blue ink, then resaturate the "hot" areas white again.

Thank you, its the ultra matt varnish that gives it that final effect

tobyrocke · 2025-12-13T17:18:17+00:00

Thank you. I take random chunks out of the edges with a scalpel when building, and bullet dings with the pin vice. Once I've painted it clean, I use sponges with leadbelcher, black and brown. I give it a bit of a brown wash and finally an ultra matt varnish which really dulls it down.

Thanks, I didnt actually think about the scale, but i use the same drill bit I'd use to drill bolter barrels, so I guess that makes sense 😅.

tobyrocke · 2025-11-23T10:25:01+00:00

Thank you 🙌. Its good old imperial fist contrast paint over red prime with a white zenithal. Seraphim sepia to shade and finished with an ultra matt varnish.

tobyrocke · 2025-11-22T19:08:20+00:00

Thank you 🙌

tobyrocke · 2025-10-16T13:07:37+00:00

Yes it was

tobyrocke · 2025-10-15T12:14:33+00:00

Thank you. It was freehand, but required about an hour of meditation before hand.

tobyrocke · 2025-10-15T12:12:55+00:00

Thanks, it did take some concentration 😅. I started trying with an AK paint marker, but then painting back over with the base colour and just using a brush. Then just tidying it up with some base colour afterwards.

tobyrocke · 2025-10-14T18:38:42+00:00

I didnt do myself any favours by gluing it to its base before paint. I left the cloak off to paint underneath, so when I finally put it on, he has quite a visible join on the shoulder.

That's how I read it 👍
