Hey guys, sorry for this simple question.

Finally found my plasma cannon after a really long time of not knowing where it was....

I want the background of the cannon to be dark angels green but have been frustrated at filling the lettering in.... help?

I have done dry brushing, watered down wet brush as well.... thanks!

A picture might help...

Im assuming he is talking about the venerable dread one as i dont see anything else with lettering.

Its probably best to use a metallic like copper or brass or whatever your metallic detailing is on your army for any lettering panels, then wash in the letters.

like this, i have it painted green but can't figure out the color/or how to paint it

i second this method, water down the wash and let it dry, do thin layers until you get the desired look
