Hey guys, I've been asked to post how I paint my Deathwing.
Especially since I brag about how easy and idiot-proof it is

For Terminator Armour the only paints used are Dheneb Stone and Gryphonne Sepia.

Step one:

Paint Dheneb Stone straight over your basecoat. Works just as well on black as white.
And just incase you don't know Dheneb Stone is a foundation paint. So shake the hell out of the paint pot before you start, and water it down at least 1:1 water/paint.

(This is just one coat straight over black, Dheneb Stone is AMAZING)


Step two:

Wash the entire surface of the Armour with Gryphonne Sepia.
This isn't just to shade it but also change the hue of the Dheneb Stone. Make sure you get it all!



Step three:

Drybrush the entire mini with Dheneb Stone. Avoiding the deep recesses. Sounds simple but you need to do it right!



Quick how to drybrush tutorial:

(Don't water down the Dheneb Stone here but still shake the pot.)
Get a proper brush, something like the Citadel Medium Drybrush.
Wipe/brush off almost all the paint from your brush before you start.
A good way to test if you have too much paint on the brush is to lightly drybrush the top of your hand.
If the paint is running into the lines on your skin there's too much!
You want it to almost be like a dusting of paint.



Then do the paint/shade/highlight thing on the details and done.
(Not covered in this tutorial)

If you have any questions let me know!

Very nice tutorial the dry brushing process is very well done too. Are there any washes with your metallics like the golds and silvers to dull them a little or do you leave them bright?

I havn't really settled on a gold I like.

I do the regular scorched brown/shining gold 1:1 base -> dwarf bronze -> shining gold
Then sort of play around with a mithril silver/burnished gold mix and washes/glazes (sephia/mud/baal red/ogryn flesh) and finally edge highlight with straight mithril.

So as you can see I didn't cover it in this since I really don't know what I like yet lol.

This is my latest gold experiment:

What gold you there on the Chapi seems like a good choice. I'm still experimenting with my golds too with some of minitaures having different variants of it lol
Never tried useing Burnished gold though, only shining gold mixed with the mithril.

Awesome tutorial!!
