I have got some bad moon orks there body has been washed but there yellow armour has not i am not sure if i should dark wash the armour?
please leave comments on what you think and look at my pic

THANKS

In my opinion, no. Don't wash the armour, Bad Moons should be bright. But in the end it is all up to you
How do you want them? Perhaps a wash and then highlight it again to get more definition? You'll be the judge my friend


//Edge

I'm with OnTheEdge on this, you've some nice, bright Bad Moonz armour there. It looks great.

If you are going to wash it, I wouldn't go with anything darker than Gryphonne Sepia. Even then, I'd probably do another set of highlights after the wash as OnTheEdge has recommended.

No

If you wash the yellow areas, wash the edges in a simple L-shape at the edge, it gives some much wanted depth to an otherwise glaringly bright colour.

Without a wash or shading, bright yellow like that just looks tacky. Often moreso under flourescent lighting in most game shops.

Washes dont have to kill the brightness of the yellow- unless you over do it. It adds depth and makes the gear look used/worn.

I really doubt a whole unit of orks is going to have brand new yellow painted gear.

Try a little devlan mud- start in the recesses and see if you like the results.

Thanks!
I will wash the armour and if it turns out ok i will leave it but if its not what i want i might highlight it like you said.

Thanks again!

I wil be getting some more boyz soon and making a custom bad moonz warboss

I'd say wash the armor and then highlight the edges and be done with it

I think as far as the yellow goes, do a hard edge on it and itll look good. Wash the armor, thats up to you. But deffinetly edge the yellow, itll make it pop
