GingerGiant Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I'm looking to speed up the painting process for my High Elves, whose majority color is rose gold. I'd also like to make them brighter. I have an airbrush, too. Is there a better way to achieve a brighter look for what I have already done? Here's the fairly slow formula I had been using: Basecoat with Warplock Bronze Wash with Druchii Violet Layer Sycorax Bronze Highlight with mix of Sycorax Bronze and Vallejo Metal Medium Here are my spearmen (shields pending): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ademo Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Not sure if it's what you're after, but I've been using the following on stormcast that gives a nice pale/rose gold: Basecoat stormhost silver Wash with seraphim sepia (twice) Wash key areas druchii violet Edge highlight stormhost silver. Really easy to do, means you can do lots at once with minimal efgort, just drying time for washes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll try swapping the Seraphin Sepia for Reikland Fleshshade or Carroburg Crimson. Thanks! If I could find a Sycorax Bronze-looking spraypaint, I'd try basecoating with it and then apply a Violet wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do note that Carroburg Crimson is very pink rather than straight red, might give you different results than what you seem to be after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davariel Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Might be slightly more bronze than what you're after, but I've gotten something like what you describe with this: Base Runelord Brass (might need to do this over a Leadbelcher undercoat or maybe my pot's just ridiculously thin ) Wash Agrax Earthshade Drybrush Runelord Brass Light drybrush Runefang Steel Pretty quick and gives a nice bright, burnished look - I don't have any pics on hand, but I can get some tomorrow if you want.

GingerGiant Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 That would be really cool! I really like the look of Sycorax Bronze, but it's a pain in the butt to think I'd be basecoating with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curry_Supreme Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Hey ginger what about Vallejo bright bronze? I have it for this purpose and it’s actually one of my favourite metallics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
