Are the shields on those Swordsmen really that vivid a blue, or is it just from lighting and photographing?

They are more vivid than usual, enchanted Blue, over yellow base coat, washed with Hawk Turquoise , highlighted ice blue,

then glossed

Hi chumley!
I have been creepily watching your plog (and others...) for a few months.. and finally decided to join up to the forum! Really find your stuff inspirational to read through and follow so thanks for that!
Loving these colours, looks like you nailed the magical metal effect that you were aiming for. Looking forward to seeing it all knocked up.
Cheers
Mr hpoo

Looking really good so far.

Can't wait to see what extra bits and pieces you do to it.

Makes me want to get starting on my Luminark

I would say it surpased gaming standards at this point. Only thing with the luminark when it fires off wouldnt the horses freak and run from battle like Sir Didymus' mount Ambrosius from the Labyrinth, i could see a wizard holding on for dear life as the horses speed off the battle field shouting " the battle behind us your going the wrong way !!!!!"

I rescued these part painted from e bay,

the guy had under coated black,

It re-iterates why never to undercoat black, it's so hard to finish to a good standard from black imo

Statements like that really bug me sometimes. That's got everything to do with your painting style, relying on washes of paint so much. Of course it's going to be more difficult to finish to a good standard with black primer/undercoat with your style of painting.

Those crossbows definitely don't have the look of your normal work though. They are definitely duller and less bright.

mr chumley warner · « **Reply #3017 on:** August 14, 2012, 03:10:08 PM »

I need some1 to prove to me that black under coating works, as when I try it, i feel that I have to add more layers of paint to achieve colour, and in doing so detract from the quality of the finished model.

Delthos · « **Reply #3018 on:** August 14, 2012, 03:45:14 PM »

My problem is that you are making a generalization about black primer, implying that everyone will have the same problem you have. That's just not the case. You make that claim based on your experiences and your technique. However, it doesn't take into account other people's experiences and techniques, which by all accounts are very different from your's. Sure your technique is fast and produces good results, but it is by no means the only technique nor the best technique.

It doesnt matter what color primer I use, it takes me the same amount of time and effort to get a model to a state I like. My preference is actually for gray right now as I can see details easier when painting, as white and black make details more difficult for me to see. Other than the short speed improvment gained from seeing the details easier in the first place, prior to putting on my base colors, my style doesn't change how much effort it takes to get to a final product I'm pleased with.

For you, white is best, for someone else black is best, but I find it highly unlikely any one will ever be able to prove that one color primer is always best nor one color should never be used. Please just stop claiming absolutes.

Your Mother · « **Reply #3019 on:** August 14, 2012, 04:37:02 PM »

I have used both black and white primers. I find that using white or a light colored primer forces me to paint better. With black I would miss areas on the mini and just saying it would look like shadow, now when I look at them I see all these black voids where I was too lazy to paint. When I use white primer areas that I missed with paint immediatly pop out at you and I correct it. I do use black primer for my knights though, and some scenery.

Not to toot my own horn but I'm fond of how these turned out...from a black basecoat.

Now I would never claim that my system is anywhere near as quick as yours but I prefer the much more saturated colors I achieve using black primer (or dark Grey) over white. YMMV...different strokes for different folks and all that...

Cheers,

Blue
