I'd like to make a Black and Grey themed cadian army that doesn't just look dark with no detail. I find that usually when I paint something black, I can't add enough highlights to make it shine. There may be some techniques I'm missing, but I am not able to do it with my current ability. What I'm thinking is something akin to the starship troopers look from the movie (not the book!)

I'm thinking the obvious is chaos black for the armor parts, and a grey/black mix for the pants?

Complete train of thought:

1. Prime black
2. Coat with second coat of black
3. Codex Grey mixed with Chaos Black for pants
4. Highlight code grey on pants and armor
5. Highlight lighter grey (maybe even white) on rest of the area
6. Gunmetal/easy mode colors on weapons

Here's somebody who did a nice job with the cloak, sort of like what I want to do for armor:



Anyway, I just wanted to get some advice and input. Ideas appreciated and sorry if this has been asked before! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521151/5509696.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521151/5509696.page GMT Re:Anyone know of an easy to follow dark grey/black paint scheme for Cadians? These were done with that in mind, but I forget the colours used. Might help with your inspiration.

That's almost exactly what I had in mind. Do you think that is just a mix of codex grey and black?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521151/5510799.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521151/5510799.page GMT Anyone know of an easy to follow dark grey/black paint scheme for Cadians? GW paints and I moved to Vallejo quite a while ago so the GW names elude me. Pretty sure it wasn't that involved though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521151/5511130.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521151/5511130.page GMT Re:Anyone know of an easy to follow dark grey/black paint scheme for Cadians? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521151/5511144.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521151/5511144.page GMT
