Progress on my gargant, this thing has so much damn surface area!
Stripped a rhino from an old box of minis and I'm attempting (poorly) to do it up in Blood Raven colours.
Yeah big red areas can be tough. I’ve taken to just spray painting red bodied vehicles these days. Works great if they are sprayed black first and then red from above. Gives shading in a nice gradient.
I’d personally suggest some dry brushed orange highlights before you start picking out details. Orange on red really help it pop.
The red is coming out alright so far; I kinda like the variation in colour. What orange would you recommend? I have wild rider red and fire dragon bright on hand.
I'm mostly disappointed with the sepia over wraithbone. Just came out so uneven :(
I mean, I go up to Trollslayer Orange with a very gentle drybrushing. Extreme colors applied gently seems to work well. Focused on corners more than anything.
I think your disappointment with the Sepia wash is a result of applying it to such flat surfaces. Concentrating the wash on edges like on the front where the bone color meets the red, and on the details of the doors, but being ok with the flat areas being flat colored is better I think.
Just my opinion, and there are tons of way better tank painters online. This is an old WIP picture of a tank I quick and dirty did a night before it was needed, to show an example of orange highlights. Not high art but it did the job.
Vallejo Dark model wash is also great for adding dark spots to vehicles and metal I’ve found. It acts much differently than Nuln or even my own DIY ink washes. It can be stippled on and won’t leave tide pools, though rather than flowing into recesses it stays on the surface and has a long working time to adjust. Good for making metallic shading or carbon kind of buildup.
Finally got my knights army fully assembled and primed, just in time to take a nerfbat to the face.
I've had a plan for a lance of BattleTech mechs running around my head for a while. The Warhammer you see there is the start/centerpiece. Going to be printing out some 28mm scale Locusts next.
Almost done the Master of Executions and Chaos Lord in Terminator Armor for my Iron Warriors. Not sure I've got enough detail on them but overall pretty happy.
