Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

[Zardnaar]

I cant tell from you explanation, so forgive me if you already know.

IME, you would use dry brush after doing a wash. Its like three layers of color (good enough for me)

Base coat is the middle color, wash give you shadows where the darker shade flows into the cracks, and then dry brushing (or highlighting) give you the lighter shade you would see on raised portions.

Cheers. Still practicing dry brush techniques.

One player recommended nuln oil wash, a flesh color also works on brows and yelows. I had a purple one I bought accidently and ive a mud yellow on for khaki type.

Drybrush after wash cheers ill try that.

Head's up, nuln oil is black, and is good for darker colors, blues, and reds. For flesh and brown, you want seraphim sepia. And naturally you don't want any wash for those areas you want a glow, as they will have the opposite effect you want.

Cheers I'e got nuln oil and reikland fleshshade.

Teachers are basically just practice and experiment. Washes, layering, drybrush is all new to me. Hell along with primer I used to use matt Grey, black or white.

reikland fleshshade is OK, but seraphim sepia is so much better IME. It looks much more natural while fleshshade puts in more contrast.

Scribbles notes

I use two coats of white primer, for the Necron glow ive put it on top of titanium white

I cheated when I painted my Necrons and used an airbrush to get a glow effect. For basic brush work, I put down my metallic base, shaded with wash, and then did a dry brush of metallic again. My Necrons are super basic.

I really need to work on my glowing game.

I don't remember. I haven't played a game since 2023 and I've forgotten what most of the units are called.
