I tried out this light blue, but I'm not sure if it looks that good (it's only roughly applied for now).







I'm sure some people here know better than I, which colour would look good in this situation. Grey perhaps?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504670/5240370.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504670/5240370.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504670/5240395.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504670/5240395.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504670/5240448.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504670/5240448.page GMT

This is the first time I have attempted this "level" of highlighting.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504670/5241567.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504670/5241567.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504670/5241674.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504670/5241674.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504670/5241786.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504670/5241786.page GMT
I'm doing Raven Guard though, so try to achieve a more blu black, does give a more muted overall effect though. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504670/5241856.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504670/5241856.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504670/5241899.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504670/5241899.page GMT
Here it is right now with a base.

Have a look at how this dude did his black...

He has a detailed instructional on how he did it (the colours look a bit extreme in the video, but you get the idea on how you should layer the highlights).

I think a colour like Shadow Grey (or I suppose Fenris Grey in the new colours) works really well for this sort of thing. Using pure grey to highlight can make the model look a bit dull, while using pure blue looks a little bit too strange and otherworldly to me (maybe good for Elves or something, not so much for Space Marines). The blueish grey of Shadow Grey, though, I think looks like a nice middle ground. Again though, you might want to gradually blend up to Shadow Grey using mixes with black first rather than just plonking pure Shadow Grey on as a highlight.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504670/5244508.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504670/5244508.page GMT
1. get wash
2. get paper towel
3. put paint brush in wash
4. wipe abit off the brush onto the towel
5. glaze over highlights


this will pull it all togeather with the black abit more will make it look more sexy not to say it doesnt atm tho

pm me if you need more halp ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504670/5248316.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504670/5248316.page GMT
I'm just about to paint mine, and I've been going mad trying to figure out how to highlight the black color scheme without screwing the whole model up too much!

The regular DA army can be highlighted with Warpstone Glow and the Deathwing can be shaded with Seraphim... but for the Ravenwing??

Its really quite intimidating to even start for me!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504670/5248949.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504670/5248949.page GMT
I am aware that the highlight lines aren't as neat as they could be. This is just to show you the general look of the colour selection.
