1542h: Base colors done

August 25, 2018

I finally managed to finish the base colors. Now its “only” Highlights, Decals, Dipping and Finishing Touches to go. But I get ahead of myself.

Firstly I used GW Blathasar Gold on a few details on the characters. They eye and trinket on the psykers stave. The lower part of the primes blade etc.

Then came the eye lenses of the helmets. These are GW Ultramarine Blue. As I head blue already infront of me I decided to go displays, buttons and laserpointers next. Displays went blue, buttons GW Blood Red (buttons have to be red, like power cables) and laser pointers GW Putrid Green. Again some of these pots are old or very old. The names might have changed by now.

Then I worked on the eyes. White as as base (Model Color Foundation White 70.919.) and black as a pupil (Army Painter Matt Black). With black alread on the palette I used it on the openings of the gun muzzles.

And tadaa… all the base colors are down. Onto Highlighting. I’ll start with the armor plates again.
