Not my model, but I'm trying to recreate this colour scheme.

Does anyone know what colours would look good going on the cape/crown/trim? The standard is bronzey gold and I'm not sure how that would look.

Armour - Green
Energy - Orange
Casing - White

Just not sure what would compliment these on the cape/crown/trimming (this guy has just done all white).

Redpill me on wet palettes. Is keeping your paints from drying out the only benefit?

>>53902366
Prolonged drying times means mixing paints in multiple shades multiple times is easier. Hell, the convenience of being able to go to the store knowing your paint will still be there when you get back is good enough for me

>>53902251
If ur using citadel paints there is a guide for mephrit dynasty in white dwarf #46.

I'm doing the same and it's feathered Forest base, coelia greenshade, zamesi desert highlights.

>>53902430
Where do you live?
Aussie here and i live in northern Queensland, it's relatively humid at all times and very humid on occasion/during summer. I love my wet pallette, but for sure if I went to the shops and came home, the paint on the palette would be half dried and unusable

>>53902511
Deathworld* not feathered

>>53902511
Damn, sorry I forgot to mention I was looking just for a colour for the cape.

I'm working off the same White Dwarf and I know that it has the steps for amour, energy and the rest, I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas for what would look good for the cape. All photos I have of Mephrit Overlords are all from the front.

The pictured Overlord hasn't got any colour on the bits that are normally copper/gold like the cape, cord on his loincloth and staff highlights.

Blood angels praetor

>>53902514
The US, Louisiana to be exact. Even though it's super humid almost every day I still keep my wet palette refreshed with additional water every day. Doesn't need much but that little extra water helps in the long run. Even if I don't though my paint stays way for a few days at a time

>>53902549
I haven't got to painting my overlord yet unfortunately, still stuck on my immortals. I've been wondering the same thing, maybe doing it in silver with lots of nuln oil or copper with some verdigris could look good against the green.
I've seen people do the tabard on the front in white so maybe they do his case that way too?

I like how his armour tells a story but wouldn't they have fixed/replaced his pauldron when they screwed on the new arm?

Do you seal the container before leaving it?

neat idea anon, but how you do the rest will determine the quality.


this is a greatsword musician I'm working on. Never done scars before so still got a heap of skinwork to do

>>53902715

That's what I was thinking. I was like oh, his arm on his ruined shoulder side is a bionic, that's cool-

Wait a minute, why would they fit him for a bionic and not repair his armor? Even the shittiest chapter will repair grievously cracked plates, and BA especially like artisanry.

>>53902715
Im themeing my blood angels around the middle of the siege of terra, so everyone has mix and matched armour in various states of repair and weathering. So he got the arm ripped off and had to get a new one bolted on asap so he could get back to holding the wall

>>53902757
How are you planning to base them? I imagine there's a lot of marble and gold at the palace but I figure Dorn also threw up some less pretty fortifications.

>>53902797
Not too sure yet, probably lots of concrete rubble with rebar, with sprinkles of gold, marble and marine bits

>>53902558
How did you go about making this?

>>53902591
Might have a go at painting the cape white. Maybe with a darker colour like bronze for the round links on the cape.

>>53902698
that's what I figured, it's just the first time it's happened to me and I've probably bought over $500 worth of stuff from her in the past few years.

Must be the new shipping she has.

You would be amazed at how many spiders can climb into a box when you aren't looking.

>>53904119
Maybe they wouldn't be as visible in photos if you reduced the filesize to something reasonable.

Nice color scheme though.

>>53902366

You can achieve the same effect by replacing your thinner with drying retarder, but it's just nicer to use a wet palette instead of a dry one or if you plan on keeping the palette as it is for over a day.

Right chaps, working on a concept army for tyranids. Want to make an army of ladybird and have the fliers as pretty butterflies.

Can anyone give any suggestion of pretty, gay as fuck bugs to paint my army as?

Also going to be basing them as though their in a meadow with flowers and shit.

(Was planning on doing bioluminescencent nids, but it takes so long to do an army, I don't feel U have the time or the skill to do this. Maybe when I get an airbrush I'll try again.)

Gun looked good.
The rest.... meh

>>53905300

Thanks.

To be fair, it was the first model I painted after a 10 year break from Warhammer, so I was happy for a first attempt.

I think I was putting a lot of effort in to something that was ultimately not very effective as a colour scheme, at least with my skill level.

I think my new idea might be good, at least because I like the though of fielding a ridiculous army of pretty nids to do battle

>>53905192
>Was planning on doing bioluminescencent nids, but it takes so long to do an army, I don't feel U have the time or the skill to do this. Maybe when I get an airbrush I'll try again.
Personally I think you are wasting your time and a shit ton of money doing a joke army instead of what you really wanted to do.
And all you basically need is glow in the dark paint to get a really funky theme going.
Just need to find a pattern you can paint the effect paint on because it's usually a chalky white, so a dark blue/black/whatever with white pattern on the carapace that glows in the dark would be pretty fucking cool in my book.

>>53905938

I looked in to that, but the half-life of glowing paint is short for non-radioactive paints, therefore making my army the 40k equivlent of the Forth Bridge (Always repainting the sodding things!)

One day I will return to this, but I do not think I have the ability to do it yet.

By all means it would be cool, but I have also wanted to do a daft scheme for a while.

I think my gargoyles will look gorgeous!

>>53902511
Why is Coelia Greenshade used and not the green one, Biel-Tan Green?

Learning to use an airbrush. Blitza bomma seems to be going OK so far. Need to varnish this shit, which I'm a bit nervous about because I've never used airbrush varnish before. Might find something shitty to practice on first...

>>53907986
I like it, though the weathering needs a little extra zing.
but I'm guessing you're not done yet either, so.
