GW pictures. Does anyone have the GW steps or know how to get a similar effect like the GW Behemoth color scheme?

Thanks!

Also here were my thoughts on how to paint Behemoth.

Prime Black
Paint Skin with Mechrite Red
Paint Skin Gory Red
Use badab black wash
Paint over with Gory Red/ Blood Red 1:1 mix
Light Highlight of Blood Red

After that I'm not too sure. Any suggestions would be helpful! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434273/3991727.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434273/3991727.page GMT Painting Hive Fleet Behemoth help?
I also add a very light blazing orange highlight, and finish off with a Baal Red glaze. But you could skip the orange if you want a darker shade.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434273/3992332.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434273/3992332.page GMT Painting Hive Fleet Behemoth help?

WD then since the GW tutorials are down from the website.

Glad to know I'm on the right track. Does the WD article show how to paint the sacs for the Tervigon as well?

Also how would I go about painting the armoured parts? I know its black base coat, but do I stipple the aqua color onto the shell at that point? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434273/3993165.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434273/3993165.page GMT Re:Painting Hive Fleet Behemoth help?

Thanks! That's really helpful actually! I might still look at it when I can drop by FLGS and see if its worth it.

Well they usually aren't from what I've seen, but neither were the GW painting articles on the website. I just use them as a loose guide to get something that looks similar to what GW produces.

Ifurita wrote:Another suggestion. For anything that is mostly red, I like to prime a dark brown. It's not as harsh as black and the brown primer coat complements any red layers that are painted over it.

I never would have thought Brown Primer existed. It sounds like it should work though! I'd give it a shot if I didn't have cans of black lying around. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434273/3996891.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434273/3996891.page GMT Painting Hive Fleet Behemoth help? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434273/3997144.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434273/3997144.page GMT Painting Hive Fleet Behemoth help?
Prime black
Mechrite red
drybrush blood red
heavy wash of baal red
hawk turqouise drybrush on the edges of carapace

Personally, I like the brighter red and find it a good contrast to the black carapace. I'll try to get some decent pics today and attempt to post them. Oh, as for the sacs that attach to the guns, Scorpion Green + Thraka wash, then turqoise for the tubes. I think I'm going to paint the actual guns Deneb and then do a devlan wash over the foundation.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434273/4003159.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434273/4003159.page GMT Re:Painting Hive Fleet Behemoth help? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434273/4004335.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434273/4004335.page GMT Re:Painting Hive Fleet Behemoth help?



Let me know what you think.

They actually got to play their first game tonight, and one-eye demolished everything he came into contact with. I played against another nid player tonight, and this is how he did:
Turn 2: charged 7 gargoyles, killed them all
Turn 3: charged 6 genestealers, killed them all
Turn 4: charged a tyrant and a guard, killed them both.

He didn't take a single wound up until the tyrant, and then was killed the next turn by a mawloc. I seriously think I'm going to continue to field him, if he consistently does this well. He may have an initiative of one, but he's difficult to wound, and the combination of crushing claws, scything talons, his berserk rule, and strength 10 will wreck anything]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434273/4017152.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/434273/4017152.page GMT
