In comparison I can immediatly tell the difference between our painting styles, I have a lot more painting techniques and you are a lot more skilled with a brush and with knowing what goes well with what in color contasts.

I hope we can share painting advice in future

jc 042 very cool. the thunder hammer is sick

Im interested in your method in the power sword so heres mine:
It only uses 4 colors, Necron Abyss. Skull White, Chaos Black, and Asurman Blue.
First of all, a basecoat of chaos black plus necron abyss, 30:70
A thick outline for each lightning strip of necron abyss
a thinner strip with necron abyss and Skull White 80:20
then a strip that highlights certain areas 50:50
an even finer strip on even fewer ares, but in the same place as the previously applied strips, using a 30:70 mix
Then asurman blue, and walla, lightning.

Note the asurman blue can be added before or after the last strip is applied, depending how bright yu like it.

EDIT: also thin the asurman blue with a considerable amount of water.

[taperguy]

awesome job!! well done

[ogreninja]

the way i did my power sword was
50/50 regal blue chaos black on entire blade
ultramarines blue leaving some of the dark point
then ice blue leaving some of the ultramarines blue
then white leaving some of the ice blue showing to get the effect i got alter where your dark and light points are then use 50/50 white and ice blue to do the lightning and put a glaze of asurman blue over it.
cheers for your paint method will use that when i do my next army
@taperguy cheers for the compliment

Soheres my method for painting parchment and bones:

Spoiler

How to paint parchment and bones:
•Base coat of Dhenub Stone (that light brown foundation if I got the name wrong)
•layer of Bleached Bone mixed with Skull White, 60:40
•Wash of water mixed with Baal Red, 60:40 (note the new red •wash is a lot darker, add more water)
•Wash of water and Devlun Mud, 50:50
•highlight and on raised areas with bleached bone
•Highlight on certain areas with bleached bone and skull white, 60:40
Then a very generous coat of gryphon sypea (my favourite wash)

For bones take out the step for Baal Red

Im interested with how you did your gems?

Thats good advice

[ogreninja]

cheers for the parchment recipe

Spoiler

i used 2 colours for the gem with working from black,
scab red and fiery orange, start with scab red leaving some of the black showing where ever you want your light source coming from if you look at my pics you can get a idea of what i mean lol. add fiery orange to scab red (75/25 scab red/fiery orange) leave a some of the scab red showing do the same again but 50/50 the 25/75 and finally you put a small line of fiery orange at the edge. to get the glassy look i put either a couple of dots or a line of white in the black just using the tip of the brush then a thin coat of gloss varnish to finish hope that helps

[JC 042]

@Cypher, cheers, I hope that recipe is useful to you as well.

@Ogreninja, really? I honestly expected more colours. I'll give that a try with the sanguinary guard Im making. Ill show my gem method next when I find the time to type it up.

[ogreninja]

yeah i tend to use as few paints as poss to keep it simple, look forward to see your recipe

[Optic20]

Myself - im not into the table top game(granted ive never personally played- just witnessed-). But i have to say that looks amazing. i wish i had that kind of skill/patience to do that.
