Those are spectacular. Sons of Medusa are so strange in that they should look terrible with the neon green but the scheme is so nice to look at. Your tones are wonderful.

Do you do anything special for the bronze/copper work? I love how that looks and I am always trying to do metals better.

Thanks,

Hi Gorgrimm, thanks for your really nice comments. I did post how to do the gold earlier but I've pasted it into this reply to save you scrolling all the way back

so for the gold

1 base coat the entire area that will be gold a 1:1 mix of Gehennas gold and Rhinox hide
2 then wash it with a 1:1 mix of Rhinox hide and nuln oil
3 then once fully dry, apply a mid tone of Gehennas gold to all the raised area's being carful to leave the wash shading in the deep recesses
4 then highlight with Auric Armour gold, again just applied to raised areas
5 finally apply runefang steel as a final highlight but just to the very extreme edges, tips and corners

I should say I didn't come up with this technique myself I found it in an old whitedwarf. it was in the old paint range but I have given the names of the new paints and it works very well. I really hope this helps, its a bit time consuming but well worth the effort. I would love t know how you get on.

Thank you! I guess I should read the whole thread. Hehe.

I will give that a try, looks great.

Hehe no problem mate, it's a really simple technique, takes a bit of a long time but it's worth the extra effort. Definitely let us know how you get on dude. Feel free to post your pic here.

Thanks Brother Ectus, will do. I am in need of ordering some paints though, it'll be a bit before I can paint.
