Games Workshop - Citadel Colour Layer: Stormhost Silver (12ml) Paint

Product Information

Finally, I glue on all the sundry vegetation, as I don’t want to get paint on it. The key to this stuff is layering it and slowly building it up to look overgrown. I use some slightly thinned PVA glue for all of it. I hope my recommendations help you to improve your hobby and take your painting skills to the next level. A lot comes down to personal preference, but the spray paints and primers above have served me excellently over the last few years. For the undead purple, I started with a base coat of Naggaroth Night, building up through to Phoenican Purple and finally Kakophoni Purple for the very brightest points, which gave it a slightly pastel tone to add that pallid finish. Glitter Green: An bright metallic green, very intense and vibrant. Mix with Fairy Dust for highlights. Gradually mix in steadily more Ulthuan Grey and layer up each time until it’s nearly pure Ulthuan Grey gradually getting further and further from the recesses

Step 3: Paint a mix of Burnt Sienna and Raw Umber oil paint over the barricade. Once covered, wipe off the majority of the paint with a paper towel. Try to wipe from top to bottom to get a weathered, dragged effluent, dripping grime/rust feel. Step 3: Sprinkle the barricade with coarse Kosher salt, putting more on the bottom half to make the end product have less paint near the floor and seem rustierThis stuff is amazing, it shines like actual metal, because it actually is metal. However, there’s some things you need to know about using it. Firstly, it’s metal and metal rusts. If you use water to dilute this, or clean your brushes your models and paint will rust, and not in a cool weathering way. So you have to use alcohol to thin and clean your brushes. I used very high proof Isopropyl. Secondly, if you start using your nice sable brushes you will destroy them, you want to use synthetic brushes otherwise they’ll end up in the bin. I'm unsure if it would work out the same with the suggested Stormhost Silver base coat with gem paint over top. But I have a feeling that it would just look like a slightly dulled metallic solid color , based on my experience with dullcote and metallic paints. There are specific chambers and schemes to use to paint your forces, but no one cares about Stormcast chambers in the way people care about space marine chapters. Similarly there are all sorts of specific schemes for the Orruks in AoS, but there is a lot of Iron Warriors but Orks, Raven Guard but Stormcast, going on. This probably isn’t just lazily repurposing marine chapter schemes for AoS but because there are so many marine chapter schemes that coming up with new schemes runs into the Simpsons problem.

Tamiya paints come in acrylic or spray paint. The latter is terrific for a base coat as it’s unaffected by enamel or acrylic paints applied over it for finer detailing. Using a piece of foam I sponged on some Stormhost Silver . I only did this on areas that would make sense for wear and tear, such as hard edges. This gives a nice worn look in a random pattern. Use this sparingly. Here you can see some examples of how I applied this colour scheme to other models in the army, varying up the markings and amount of teal and gold depending on the model.

Dan’s 0% thoughts, 100% vibes method:

Painting similar colors as the gem coat for the undercoat seemed like it was neat. But it needs smoother blends to make the effect really pop, unless its on a very small gem. That said, if you're going to do the work blending colors and making it a smooth transition from one to another, you might as well paint gems the "old school way". Elven Armour: Another very vibrant metallic colour, this is a bright blue that leans slightly more towards the violet side. Can be mixed with Citadel’s Grey Knights Steel or Fairy Dust for highlights. The size of the metallic pigments is not as fine as for example Scale75 or Vallejo Mecha Color, however, in comparison to Scale75 Alchemy paints, The Army Painter’s metallic colours are much more sparkly and vibrant. Alchemy metallic paints from Scale 75 are more pastel in comparison, and even Green Stuff World can’t beat the vibrancy of the new metallic Warpaints. The opacity is alright, most of the new metallic Warpaints need about three to four thin coats for solid coverage. A little bit of shaking is required to prevent separating.
