What would you use instead of grey? Use chardonite granite instead of black and you can wash it. Then highlight with codex grey or something like that.

Also, red highlights look cool. Try scab.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/317034/1928906.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/317034/1928906.page GMT Black Armour Highlight Help Please! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/317034/1928909.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/317034/1928909.page GMT Black Armour Highlight Help Please! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/317034/1928913.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/317034/1928913.page GMT Black Armour Highlight Help Please!
Because Adeptus Battlegrey is pretty much black as is.

Three successive washes of Badab Black is what you want, not just one also.
Do one, let it dry, do the next, let it dry again, then do the last one.
If it still looks grey, then do a mix of 75% Adeptus Battlegrey, 25% Chaos Black heavily watered down as the final wash.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/317034/1928928.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/317034/1928928.page GMT Black Armour Highlight Help Please! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/317034/1929163.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/317034/1929163.page GMT Re:Black Armour Highlight Help Please!
good luck]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/317034/1929306.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/317034/1929306.page GMT Re:Black Armour Highlight Help Please! IMO, it's really the best to highlight with the next DARKEST color possible. IE when you are highlighting black, use the darkest grey you can find. I see too many people just butchering models malking them look craptastic when highlighting is done wrong. It's way easy to over-highlight. Don't be one of the ones that does it too much.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/317034/1929329.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/317034/1929329.page GMT Re:Black Armour Highlight Help Please!

To true, to true. It's the main reason I don't try to highlight models.
Weird thought, try a really thin white wash and then while its still wet lightly wipe the excess off.

True black is near impossible to create. Almost all fabricated blacks are very dark browns, blues etc. Look at your model and think what kind of coloured highlight will improve it. The highlight can be near any dark colour as long as you keep it modest. If you have red shoulderguards, then the highlight could be a dark red, if you have lots of whites, the highlight could be a dark blue, there is no set rule and it is all down to what you think would suit your model ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/317034/1929580.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/317034/1929580.page GMT Black Armour Highlight Help Please! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/317034/1929602.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/317034/1929602.page GMT Black Armour Highlight Help Please! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/317034/1929647.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/317034/1929647.page GMT Black Armour Highlight Help Please! CSM black legion in boltgun metal and then 3-4 black washes.

If i need to hightlight, I do it in boltgun metal or mithril silver.

Im strictly a table top painter, but I think it works... mostly.

If you're going for pre-heresy DA's, why not highlight with Dark Angels Green? They'd still be black but with that foreboding green tone on the edges...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/317034/1932080.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/317034/1932080.page GMT
