Galron Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 How do I achieve the stark black of these guys? Also any idea what they did their relatively minimal highlights in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovemberIX Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I'm sure someone with more painting experience will pop in and say different, but it literally looks like Black Primer with a satin coat edged in silver. Either that or Matte Black heavy body acrylic thinned and shot out of an airbrush, still edged in silver. It's simple but eye catching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galron Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 Looks like very dark grey highlights in some places and very select silver in others I think, but that jet black is whats really getting me. Maybe it is simply some kind of air brush black? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinstryfe Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 It almost looks like the same very very matte effect I'm getting painting some guardsmen currently with "Black 2.0". Extremely flat black paint. Could be something like that. Semper Fortis 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galron Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 Oh wow, that stuff is cool. Dont think its what they used since in that opening shot up there you can see the lines in the armor when the light hits it and its too old a video. I need to get some of that 2.0 stuff, it has great potential. It would actually be neat to see chaos marines done in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockwithaticket Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Those are very light grey highlights at certain points, not silver. The black would just be super matte one like Scale 75 Flat Black. The smooth application suggests air brush, especially as it's from a commission painting studio where air brushes are commonly used to help keep the time a project takes to a minimum, but there's no reason that level of smoothness can't be replicated with a brush.I see what they've tried to do there, but a lot of those bone protrusions are a bit naff imo.

It doesn't create black holes like they say, it's just a very very flat black. But still, it's kinda neat to have multiple black paints on hand.

Galron Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) Ill probably be doing Raven Guard or Death Spectres at this point but I am thinking of doing he black the same. Edited July 22, 2017 by Galron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
