So I want to start painting my Slaaneshi army soon, but I'm at a loss as to how I should paint the 36 pairs of wings in the army. I want to paint black or a very dark blue or grey. My daemons are angelic but....evil after all. Anyone got a link, tutorial or a good method for painting wings?



Here's the model by the way:




Thanks!

Do you want them to look like these or different?

I'm talking about the first model in the post.

I'm glad to see you're going to start painting them soon though, I just found your P&M blog two days ago and rolled through it, your scultping is amazing.

If you want it like that I'd say it's a black base, then black and codex gray 2:1, then a 1:1, then a codes gray highlight, and maybe a codex gray and fortress gray 1:1 as a bright highlight on some of the brighter edges.

if you want sweet looking wings dry this...

undercoat black, drybrush fenris grey, then drybursh (LIGHTLY) adeptus battlegrey, then wash in 50/50 premix of badab black and asurmen blue.

I've seen people treat wings as fur to great effect.
Lighter base colour, brush quickly over with main colour, wash down, dry brush with main, highlithg and wash carefully. Should give the lighter tones of the edge of feathers while being dark in the fold... their just fur

But really I don't think I know much

hmmm, wash, wash, wash i say, get you base colour down and your drybrush highlights then wash a few different inks over it to get subtle naunces and colour changes without having to be a brush master and take up hours and hours, you can always touch up any parts you wish when it dries, but i suggest this would be an easy and quick way to paint a heap of wings, and I also think those models need a bit of subtle colour they're great!

mmmhh....first of all, you have to think about the skin body colour, then you have to try different solution

i'll take a look at my Deviantart fave and have find this.....i think it can b a good scheme whit purple wing.
