Gederas Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Does anyone Know how GW is doing their new BL edge highlight with more of that blue feel? Thunderhawk Blue > Fenrisian Grey It's been shown in several of the WarhammerTV tutorials :lol: Stoic Raptor and betrayer41 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gederas Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Whooopppsss Thanks haha Yeaaah. In the Haarken and the new Abaddon tutorials it shows them using Thunderhawk Blue > Fenrisian Grey for the highlights. I think there might be another highlight in there, possibly Dark Reaper? I'm unsure lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MithrilForge Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 If you wanted to eavy metal it you could add in Russ Grey between thunderhawk and fenris... Abaddon Black > Dark Reaper > Thunderhawk Blue >Russ Grey > Fenrisian Grey. Mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 In Max Faleij's VoxCast interview (starts around 30:15), he talked about how the 'Eavy Metal did the new Chaos Marines/Black Legoin and added some amount of Incubi Darkness to give the black an almost greenish/teal undertone. It's unclear if he meant they actually added/mixed it into the base color, if it's blended in toward the highlights, or it is the initial color for the highlight.

Bryan Blaire Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 That's actually a cool touch. Hints at their history as the Luna Wolves. From what he was saying, they chose it because of color theory. It could be looked at that way and there may have been some unconscious influence for the decision by that history, but from what was said it sounded like that would have been an unintended side effect, not an intentional decision to represent their history (now that’s not to say that Aidan, who he worked with on the Black legion stuff, didn’t consciously choose that color scheme idea specifically because of the history from the Sons of Horus and just didn’t tell Max).

It's unclear if he meant they actually added/mixed it into the base color, if it's blended in toward the highlights, or it is the initial color for the highlight. Not to brag, but I've got a good eye for colour accuracy and I think they added it to the base black. I was trying to put my finger on how they managed to get all of the different blacks in the paint job to have notably different tones and temperatures, and it seemed to be something more than the highlights which are also cool and warm depending on where they are. I would definitely mix up a bottle, or several, if I was going to do the same thing; I wish I knew what ratio they used. I wouldn't want to run out and need to match it after the fact, so stocking up at the beginning would be a good call. That and be sure to keep a painting journal that you can keep recipes, mixes, and techniques noted for future reference; I can't count how many times I told myself I'd remember what I did or the ratio I used, only to be cursing a few months later as I try to remember.

Nothing is more irritating. It would be awesome to have the 'Eavy Metal team's paint recipe notebook. Not that I could pull off most of their techniques! :lol: Surreal Cruelty and Subtle Discord 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Discord Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Yeah, knowing how, and actually being able to, are very different things. I can usually attempt almost anything, but the results? I do try to push my limits, but it's usually challenging to get advanced techniques to cooperate.

Xenith Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) Download the GW painter app. - it has a multitude of colour schemes that the GW crew use. Edited April 5, 2019 by Xenith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 The ones in the GW Painter app aren’t the ‘Eavy Metal paint scheme recipes - they are the equivalent of the “paints needed” from the back of the boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 perhaps as someone suggested elsewhere to hit up max faleij on instagram or twitter or facebook...?! and ask him what ratio was used... he seems like a pretty decent guy and would probably answer if asked... Mithril p.s. if you do ask and he answers...feel free to post it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surreal Cruelty Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 They used to have full 'eavy Metal articles in WD, I would love to see that return...damn wish I had seen this thread before taking the community survey. Something to remember for next year if they do it again. Stoic Raptor 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
