I must admit I am really pleased with the way they have come out as a unit.
The blue is base coat of spray black (citadel chaos black), then a coat of thinned Kantor blue, washed with drakenhof nightshade (just in the recesses). Any upper faces are then painted with a thinned coat of altdorf guard blue (zenithal approach) and finally line highlighted using thinned teclis blue (again only on the edges that would naturally get caught by light from above. A lot of work but I think it gives a really nice dark blue colour that isn't too ultramarine...
Love the squad! Look really good as a unit and the scheme is crisp.
ReplyDeleteThe highlights on the blue great, how did you do them and which paints have you used?
Cheers ieuan
