Johanhgg Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I’ve taken my first steps into oil painting. These models was only painted with oilpaints, except metallics and red. This is going to be really fun. infyrana, Kizzdougs, Pacific81 and 6 others 9 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarabando Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 They look good but there needs to be more contrast especially on the bolters. What colour are you doing the bases? Johanhgg 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 They look good but there needs to be more contrast especially on the bolters. What colour are you doing the bases? I want to keep them pretty subdued since it’s raven guard :) the bases are like ship-decking/zone mortali- bases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to keep them pretty subdued since it’s raven guard the bases are like ship-decking/zone mortali- bases ok, then id recomend picking out the metals a tad brighter on the gun, also a few more spot highlights on the gun casing so it doesnt get lost in the mini. Id also make sure the bases arent just bare dark metal, have a paint layer and chip it like yellow or red etc heres some pics to try and explain Heres an Iron Hand that is very black so i needed a contrasting colour for the base. and heres a ZM base i used on my Black 40k Death guard https://www.instagram.com/p/B5YD3JnnBAO/ Bat33.1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prim Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I like the subdued black, it looks very suitable for the Raven Guard. I'd second the comment about making the weapons a little more visible against the model. A couple of small dabs of metallics should be more than enough though.

infyrana Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I really like the rough muted black on these, looks gritty compared to straight up airbrushing acrylic black! But I would agree that there is a lack of contrast from my personal view point. A little weathering pencil edge highlight on that bolter would make it pop in addition to the metallics you've already used, as might a light gray drybrush on the base. Might I kindly ask you which oils and what application methods you used please? I'm sorted tempted to oil paint a marine in black to give it a try!
