My first crusade


Recommended Posts

My first dabble into black templars, I love the lore and eagerly looking forward to some primaris love for them but i couldn't wait so I thought I'd start my own crusade a little earlier. I've been lurking here the last few weeks checking out other brothers work and it gave me so much inspiration.

Here's my primaris sword brethren

Tried a technique out.

Started with an airbrush base of P3 thamar black. Then added some lothern blue to make a dark grey blue and highlighted with the airbrush

Then added a little white to lighten and did a smaller highlight(first picture) then I went back to thamar black and made a glaze and started glazing back the darker sections with a brush(second picture)

very nice. which colors do you use? GW-colors or another?

I use mostly use gw but I used a P3 black paint with these, I prefer the black as its quite highly pigmented it lays better than abaddon black or Vallejo blacks.

 

Looks absolutely ace!

Sadly I am not yet confident enough in my airbrushing to try Highlights as Fine as these

With this it worked well as I used my original black base coat as a glaze and brought the highlights that were too big back into the shadows and the areas I wanted to be black. Or in some cases glazed a whole section with watered down black then washed my brush of paint and feathered the highlight back in.

Cheers mate, its p3 thamar black all over base coat,

Then I highlighted with an airbrush lothern blue and thamar black

Then a smaller highlight of the previous mix with a little bit of white in it.

Then with a brush I made thamar black into a glaze and glazed back the shadows and blacker parts

What are the ratios of black to lothern for the first highlight? Same question for the white on the second highlight. I really like the black that you've achieved.

I'm not sure about the exact ratio, I started with lothern blue in the airbrush about two full brushes. Then added 1 of black and I think I added about a half extra of the black because it wasn't dark enough. It didn't have any of the vibrancy of the blue and I tested a brush stroke of it against the black I was using. And then it was just a half brush of white for the highlight.

 

I have the test brush stroke on the paper still I'll take a photo
