I pointed the flash right at the side of the leg, and it didn't get nearly as bright as the front of the leg or anything else visible. Anyways, I'm trying to illustrate that even when you rotate the model around in the same light or shine more light at it, the bright areas stay relatively bright and the darks stay relatively dark.<br /><br />http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_d0K-XqHHSeY/TLz5s63vZRI/AAAAAAAAAUI/p-bI7ObFbF0/s1600/IMG_0628.JPGMichael Hoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12829754911299623731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3819360724484104783.post-42461693433500277582010-10-18T21:41:54.624-04:002010-10-18T21:41:54.624-04:00Thanks Ras.

If I do choose my entire army, it shouldn't take long to switch over to red. I tried a very different way of painting Grey Knights using no dry brushing or hard-edging but just using watered down metallics and Chaos Black to create shadows and brights. I like the way it came out, but I've been having trouble capturing the image with a camera as with the light even the darker colors kind of pop a bit. I'll do my best to get a nice picture up soon.

I have only one thing to add, the bolter. paint the casing red(maybe gore red and highlight with gore red/ blood red(if you like extreme highlights then gore red then blood red)) so it pops, right now as it is its almost becoming a part of the grey knight.<br /><br />I really love the way you painted it!<br /><br />Best wishes RasRasmus Olesenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612372213290055653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3819360724484104783.post-35392134960617872272010-10-11T13:40:57.188-04:002010-10-11T13:40:57.188-04:00Thanks!

I'm hoping to get the tutorial put on the blog tonight, I've been terribly busy lately and I spent most of my free time painting up the guy for this tutorial and my Inquisitor, who I'll be sure to put up pictures of.<br /><br />I might have to give that a try. Do you just highlight a bit with gold or do you water it down into a wash before applying it?<br /><br />When I finally do get to it, I do plan on basing all of my units with snow, as most of the terrain I play with (and where I usually take a picture of my guys simply because the nice white color) is snow themed. I just want to finish up all of my guys (I'm only 1/3 of the way there, I'm a bit slow) before basing them, just in case I change my mind part way through.Michael Hoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12829754911299623731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3819360724484104783.post-63703620499128987822010-10-11T01:03:51.740-04:002010-10-11T01:03:51.740-04:00Looks great!

Might be worth a try.<br /><br />Are you going to use a snow base theme?Kriswithakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09702685980765764956noreply@blogger.com
