ZephyrExia Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 So I finally decided to start painting again after a long (for me) hiatus. I'm planning on painting the AoS Stormcast half of the starter box in the same way. Throughout the process I've learnt a few things: Liberator gold separates in the pot and needs a thorough shaking to mix. Liberator gold (mine anyway) is not nearly as silver as shown in the WarhammerTV painting guide. I should wait longer than I did before attempting to flock the base, as the Stirland mud had a slightly sticky surface, which caused a few issues. I obviously did not look after my brushes in the past, leading to the tips splitting during painting multiple times >.< The Liberator gold is nearly invisible as a highlight to the auric armour gold. Although it is not as pretty as others, I am happy with the result. In the future I might skip the auric armour gold, and highlight with silver. Any thoughts?

Crowsfoot Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Welcome back and what a great looking model for your return, highlight in silver will result in a sharper finish, what did you use to shade the gold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZephyrExia Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 I used Reikland Fleshshade to shade the armour. I went Retributor armour>Reikland Fleshshade>Auric Armour Gold>Liberator Gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toddy Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 That's pretty good given a ten year hiatus. Nice colour selection, and everything looks neat. Welcome back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DynamicCalories Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 My only tip would be going harder on the shade, looking good otherwise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was trying to follow Duncan's tutorial for the gold, but I couldn't replicate the method very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DynamicCalories Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 From what I have gathered with GW shades, ut's always worth putting more on than you think you need, then washing and drying your brush and trying to make it pool in the desired areas. It's a hard stage to get perfect, but even harder to get wrong unless them model is actually drowning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
