Topic: Interesting spray technique, advice please?

[arselus]

So I was just checking some stuff on ebay, and I found this wood elf army lot being sold. The very last picture in the collection shows a unit of archers. I am wondering, does anyone know how the painter got this look for them? To me it looks like they were undercoated black, and then highlighted by a white, angled and distant spray can of white paint. What do you guys think? If that is the case then I might do this to my huntsmen while they wait to be painted.

Given that one model is pure white I would guess it's a white undercoat with a badab black wash? Just a guess though. I do this because it brings out the details rather than a black undercoat that hides the details(old eyes )

Definitely white with a black wash. Look at their bases, they are pure white and you can where the wash pooled around their feet. If you look closely at some of their hoods you can also see the gradient effect the wash has on them.

That is what it looks like to me too. I do this with my models as it does give instant shading and makes picking out details easier, it also looks good leaving the undercoat showing through in places because the model is already shaded.
