Post Your Colour Schemes And Show Off Your Painting Skills

[themanclaw]

Wait, Ive seen alot of GW's stuff and now this guy, do you guys do the eyes to have that effect?

[Tar-Emmetar]

If you mean how do you do the eyes, its the same as the way you do gems.

You start with black at the top and then work your way to the bottom using a lighter colour of what you want. eg

For the blue eye.
1) Chaos black
2) Midnight blue
3) Enchanted blue,
4) A 50-50 mix of enchanted blue and skull white (ice blue is also great for this but one of my mates has my ice blue)
5) Do a tiny dot of skull white at the top on the black.
6) As a final touch i put a coat of ardcoat over the eye to give it some more shine.

For a bigger area its good to use mixes between the colour. so for stages 2 & 3 do a 50-50 of Midnight blue and Enchanted blue between them.

its a bit tricky at first but then you'll get it and you can use the technique with any colour that has different shades.

Hope that helps

well heres my new paint scheme for my tau, although cant say im lookin forward to painting 60 firewarriors like that...

ps, i only have a shitty webcam so bear with me

[themanclaw]

arg! more tau! oh well, I can't see them because the pics are too small.

95% of 40k players have moved on to tau. I you are part of the 5% who still use non-panzy warriors, copy and paste this on to your signature.

tooo small cant see em i still also think alot of people are doing tau these days...

[Tar-Emmetar]

cant see properly either, its like looking at a min from the other side of the room.

[NecroManiac]

No, it's tau, it's spelled with small letters, and even the picture regards tau would be very small.

lol, okay, had to steal sisters digital camera but hey it works, although might be a bit blurry...

i have also noticied a growing number of tau players, like they were my first army about 5 years ago but i started playing black templars recently and now i wanna go back and repaint all of my tau

To be honest, too many different colours going on, tau are supposed to be a very uniform looking army (beside auxilleries) The work's nice though keep it up =)
