Each
suit of protective armour worn by the brave Knights
of the Empire is a handcrafted work of art.
We as hobbyists should treat them as such! Instead
of straight-old Boltgun or Chainmail Armour,
why not try your hand at some new armour-painting
techniques? Below are but four different ways
to take your armoured warriors to new heights
of style. Have a look and see if anything inspires
you to develop your own decorative armour.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Start by mixing
Chaos Black and Boltgun Metal.
Apply a heavy drybrush of this
mix to the armour.
|
|
|
|
Next, highlight
the raised areas and edges of
the armour with straight Boltgun
Metal.
|
|
|
|
Using a Fine
Detail Brush, carefully paint
squiggly lines or designs with
Brazen Brass.
|
|
|
|
Complete the
armour by going back over your
Brazen Brass designs with Dwarf
Bronze.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Basecoat the
armour with a thorough coat of
Chaos Black. |
|
|
|
Highlight the
raised areas and edges of the
armour with Boltgun Metal.
|
|
|
|
Next, stipple
the flat areas very lightly
with Boltgun Metal.
|
|
|
|
Finish the black-lined
armour with a few Chainmail highlights.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Basecoat the
armour with a heavy drybrushing
of Boltgun Metal. |
|
|
|
Water down some
Chainmail and paint it on the
armour's raised areas.
|
|
|
|
Carefully line
specific areas (your choice)
with Brazen Brass.
|
|
|
Finally, go
back over the Brazen Brass areas
with Dwarf Bronze. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Basecoat the
armour with a heavy drybrushing
of Boltgun Metal. |
|
|
Keep drybrushing
the armour. This time around,
use Chainmail. |
|
|
|
Water down some
Blue Ink, apply it to the armour,
and sop up any excess.
|
|
|
|
Once dry, highlight
the raised areas of the armour with Mithril Silver.
