I managed to get 2 coats of paint airbrushed into my Contemptor Dreadnought. After the matte black basecoat, I airbrushed on scorched brown which made my model look like a chocolate followed by bleached bone. As you can see, some areas around the joints I have purposely left black/brown for the boltgun metal colored bits.
I wanted to give the model a richer sense of color depth by doing brown first followed by bone. As you can see the effect is kinda weird. It looks more like rotting flesh/nurgle/death guard color than deathwing bone.
I think tonight I will try remedying this by doing diluted layers of devlan mud in successive layers to build up the tone I’m looking for.
Is this a pre-heresy Dark Angel contemptor? Shouldn't it be black, as the deathwing wasn't bone white until sometime after Horus' betrayal...
ReplyDeleteI wanted the bone color to match the robe color of the dark angels in the inner circles. This model can represent a venerable dreadnought as well for normal games.
ReplyDeleteI think in the AOTE rules, under the dark angels section, it says something about them wearing green... I think...
ah that's cool...having it interchangeable between 30k and 40k is good.
