Ok a few days ago i was talking to Kanluwen (something like that) about my 'whitewashed' (or not-whitewashed but dry-brushed) effect on troops. I was unable to get pics up but here they are with a few examples. the Kasrkin has a mix of whitewash and jagged pattern (and some straight lines i yet have to remove)

They look really good, i was expecting something ghastly but i was pleasntly suprised. cant wait to see more possibly some close ups.

So is the base color space wolves grey with lighter drybrush? How did you do it? These look fantastic!

Agreed. Normally, white washes if the person hasn't done it for larger armored models before look terrible.

It's nice seeing a decent job

One comment is that you wouldn't see camouflage over top of the whitewash. It'd be the "standard" fatigues and camo, but with the white overlaying it. If I get around to it, I actually have a white wash tutorial in May's "Fine Scale Modeler"(Volume 28 Issue 5).

His "base color", if I remember right, is a standard Cadian uniform, just with heavily watered down paint drybrushed over it.

Nice effect!

hooray! lots of good comments . atm i am doing my DA stuff but i will do some more guys too. i still have some primed Kasrkin and old metal command squad guys so i could do them in the next month.
and yes. i used normal dark angels green, with catachan green on top, which is standard cadian uniform, and just drybrushed ontop. Kanluwen,i didnt water down the white, i just drybrushed over in one or two motions.
