Got my colour scheme

[Rockythedog]

After a fair bit of playing around, I have found my company colour scheme

Model is unfinished, only just started with the detail, and need to touch up the highlighting, but this is the best of the bunch so far. Am getting the hang of the different techniques.

Base is the fang, with a wash of drakenhoff nightshade. Highlights are a 1:1 mix of the fang and Russ grey, with edges highlighted in pure Russ.

Edge highlights are more than i try anymore. Looking good so far

[Rockythedog]

Thanks Tig.

 

Edges are what makes me cry at night.

Looking at glazing soon, and I really need to try out the wet palette.

Definitely wouldn't be -MY- Style, but as long as you like it, that's all that matters. A full force of Space Wolves in Dark, Greyish Blue will surely look menacing, tho!

 

Edge Highlighting? What's that? *whistles innocently and looks to the side*

[Rockythedog]

Haha what’s your style Riku?

 

Dry brushing does look a much more appealing option

[Dantay VI]

Skeletor looks EPIC!!

 

Drybrushing is great.. Also I like that you have hit where the light would strike Once you get a wash in to blend it, then do a final highlight it will look stellar.

 

Also when you paint in the other details  too the model will really pop.

[Rockythedog]

Thanks Dantay.

 

So another wash over the top to blend the highlights, and then another highlight? Or just edge highlights?

I was going to try a really really thin layer of the base colour to blend it,

Now you mention it, yeah I see skeletor

[Rockythedog]

Can’t decide on a colour for the bolsters. Torn between black casing or a dark red casing. Any thoughts?

[Dantay VI]

In the Space Wolves set you have a head with flowing hair and head band that would make a great He-Man ;)

 

I'd say go with black and maybe use mech grey or dawnstone for the edge highlight

 

If you go with red on that blue-grey it will look pretty Ultramarine-ish

[Rockythedog]

Ahh. So you think skip the red Bolter and the white floppy helmet idea then? Edited February 18, 2018 by Rockythedog

[Dantay VI]

Oh no, I think the helmet is fine as it is..

 

The blue grey is pretty blue in the pictures and traditionally the Ultramarines use red weapon casings

 

While the black is not as visually striking, it would help to differentiate between an ultramrine and a space wolf at first glance.

 

I use red weapon casings, but my armour is a dark grey

 

Ultimately though the choice is yours, listen to your gut, it will rarely lead you astray. Except in the crisps and confectionery aisle

That's a beautiful color.

Thanks Bjorn
