So I've started on the eradicators, and I'm trying out an airbrush approach for the back armour preshading it : matt black army painter, corvus black 60 degree, mechanicus standard grey 45 degree and administratjm grey a small amount at the high points aswell as spot highlight. Though I needed to turn it down somewhat to make it fall in line with the rest of my army. They will be to "different in a way compared to my other RG minis, but the effect is amazing. Im in love with my airbrush me thinks :p Used black templar contrast as a light layer over the whole model to tune it down and have to say i like it. The effect of the highlights are there, though not in your face there, more subtle. When its dark they look just black, but in the right light <3 ty
@pawl and
@James :D ill post pictures of em later this evening. Allso the time saving part of airbrushing compared to normal brush painting is definitely there aswell. Did a layer of gloss varnish and shaded the whole model after I had blocked in all the other base colors, need to tidy it up someplases after the wash though, but its minimal. Watered down nuln oil with some airbrush thinner to make it easier,less staining was the idea atleast. Though I'm considering branching out to oils or enamels for the shading/resses shading part, as it seems better then akryl washes... dunno. Allso since I'm rather new to the airbrushing part, well its an learning experience :p Allso found out that black templar is more of a really dark blue than a black paint. But that could allso be from the preshading idk.... Anyway as I said, ill post a picture of em this evening;)
And there they are :D hard to see in a mobil phone camera but meh. :D this is before layering back up again after shading step ;)
