bro thats amazing! you have a new subscriber. love your scheme, but i’m trying to make it work faster, since i cant spend hours on each termagaunt. any recommendations? specifically, which drybrush for the carapace over leviathan purple contrast would you recommend?
@jwminiatures Жыл бұрын
Thank you mate and thank you for the support. I think you could definitely dry brush the skin to speed up the process, there are lot of very well defined and sharp details. If you want to go with something similar to my scheme I would go xereus purple and emperors children over leviathan purple, if you wanted something closer to the box art it would be Genestealer Purple and Administratum Grey

Great Works, I love the Cetu Hive Scheme Colour. do you have any advice for it?
@jwminiatures Жыл бұрын
Thank you. I've not tried the scheme myself but I think I would start from a black primer. The carapace is Slaanesh grey with a glaze of Phoenician Purple maybe even into naggaroth night, similar to how I shaded with abaddon black. Then build up the texture with Slaanesh grey and a lighter grey of some sort. The skin would be highlighted with jade/turquoise colours, so Incubi Darkness or Stegadon Scale Green then I would highlight this with the same lighter grey you used on the carapace. For the red tones maybe khorne red and cadian fleshtone. Hope this helps

Thank you mate. I think I would approach it in a similar way. Instead of using naggaroth night use something like leviathan purple, this should leave more of the edges showing. You could use black templar to create the gradient then you could still add the lines if you wanted extra texture

@@hamzzey1440 Actualy my son asked me to paint his necron army a month ago so ... (i thought he would have picked tyranids, i was wrong) :/ I totaly picked up a necron patern wich i realy love. Basicaly, Szarekhan Dynasty with brass scorp (looks more copper to me with nuln oil), with strips on the head (red for warriors for exemple, to make them look more agressive, and do something like ranks in the army) and basiclay a heavy metal style with edge higlights (battle damages) in canoptek alloy. I may come back later on them to enhance the few battle damages i misses but ... when you just painted 60 necron warriors ... with more than enough table top quality standards ... it's a bit boring at some point to go for something you don't even see on the table. ^^ Going for few necron HQ now. So sorry, i did not start nids. But it's the next army. And yup contrast is a bit too versatile sometimes (it's hard to control). I think that nul oil is easier to control for shading, at least for me. Im' used too it now. It's crazy how ther'e a mini before nul oil and after. it's like vodoo magic to me. Seing the mini coming to life.

If I was doing this for 60 I would batch paint them, do 5 or 10 at a time. Perform the same step across all of them and then proceed to the next step. You might be able to simplify some of the steps to speed up the process but it just depends on the finish you want
