Hey guys,
Just a quick question. Im trying to find a suitable technique for painting brass on my AdMech units. I use mostly GW brand paints, with a smattering of Vallejo and Game color paints. I find that using Shining gold looks too bright, but Tin Bitz too dark....even mixing the two seems to give poor results.

Any suggestions? What techniques cans i use with the GW paints, and while i know i could get better results with a different brand of paints, which brand would you recommend?

Thanks

VMC Bronze, devlan wash, highlight VMC Old Gold, VMC Silver/Old Gold mis, extreme edges almost pure VMC silver.

paint it tin bitz then dry brush gold followed with a gryphin sepia wash it will look brass make sure to thin out the tin bitz so its a smooth surface.

Paint it with chain mail and then wash with devlan mud.
