@sarahmarr90 or anyone else interested. 

Prime black

Base coat Vallejo Model Color "chocolate". I use a airbrush.

V.M.C. Bronze. I airbrush two thin coats.

Wash of G.W. Seraphin Sepia

Second wash with Seraphin Sepia but this this time i keep it more in the recesses and stipple a little bit here and there across the large flat surfaces.

Wash of G.W. Agrax Earthshade. Again only keeping it in recesses with just a bit of stipple here and there across flat surfaces.

Wash of G.W. Biel-tan green. ONLY a little here and there to add weathering to the bronze. More of a stipple in key areas really.

Light drybrush of V.M.C. Bronze on edges to make it pop and catch light again.

Hope this helps.
If ya need more help, feel free to ask or send w.i.p. pics.
Watcha using the scheme on?

 

Not sure yet, I don't know what to focus on at the mo to be honest lol, but I love the way it l looks

I think it is a well known secret that the Eavy Metal team is not using the citadel paint range to paint metalics (except gold for SCE?), at least thats what I understand. 

So I am wondering what is actually considered to be the best metalic paints around, or what do you prefer yourself?

So far I only used valejjo paints next to Citadel, but not their metalic paints.

 

i really like Army painter and p3. I've also just tried using GSW steampunk copper, which i love

I started a Tzaangor force and lost all interest in the project. Just wasn't for me. (Still for sale, heh.)

One thing i did though was come at the armor pieces as one solid and ornate piece. In my case i chose bronze. So only messed with base coat, highlight and various shades instead of picking out all the details.

I did this across all armor parts and kept the pace rolling.

I was actually pretty happy with this part. Just lost all interest in models. 

Maybe find a similar approach. 

How did you paint this metal please?

Thanks 😊 i may well end up doing that! 

[Sculpting a vortex/portal]

Hi guys!

So, I am working on a base for a bloodthirster. I want it to look like it's coming out of a portal - something like a Skaven gnawhole but slightly convex. Like a small vortex? Anyway, I've got some DAS to sculpt it, but then I realised that I've never sculpted anything in my life! I've only been painting since Christmas, and my creativeness may be overtaking my ability...

Any ideas that you think might help? Or ideas for maybe a simplified version that would look good?

Thanks!
