Brother Clavero Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Has anyone used the "dip method" for painting Ultramarines? I've thought about giving it a try but wanted to see if anyone has had experience with this first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I can't see a problem in principle, but I'd use something like a dark grey dip rather than the more usual brown. For example, a number of historical painters doing Napoleonics and Dark Ages stuff start with a white basecoat, block in colours and then apply a heavy wash all over of Payne's Grey (which is dark blue-grey colour). After that, detail as normal - looks pretty good for minimal effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leviathus Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Sure, why not. Like Major_Gilbear said, you'd best dip em in dark grey or black. Just be careful not to clog the models too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraithwing Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 It does work. Here is a Novamarine that got dipped: I blocked in the colours and then used Army Painter Dark Tone. You may need to touch up areas that look too dark afterward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
