I had a bunch of old sprues of genestealers from a half-used board game box set of Space Hulk, so 8 arms were basecoated in Mechrite Red, then hastily highlighted with Blood Red. I wanted a quick and dirty highlight to really show what the washes can do. Here is your control (no wash applied):
Now, the washes. Each pic should speak for itself, you'll see the wash used in the picture. While a lot of these washes act similarly to Black on red, most of them have an added bonus of acting like a glaze on the Blood Red highlight as well as providing the dark recesses. Some do one better than the other. I hope you find a look that appeals to you.
That's pretty cool. It's nice to see the exact effect on identical pieces for comparison. Thanks for this!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comparison!
ReplyDeleteDid you paint the wash on directly, or did you dilute it with water?
directly, no dilution. Large brush too, to keep it as even as possible.
ReplyDeleteShort and to the point, Nice job. Thanks for the pics of actual results of different washes.
ReplyDeleteWow, the new washes are impressing me more and more. Thanks for posting this.
