Finally getting around to starting up a DE army (who I wanted to play from the start, but for some reason didn't...).

I plan on priming them black and edge highlighting with this color:

It's actually a little brighter than that when not on a PC swatch. It's probably in the same range as Hawk Turqoise (maybe a little darker) for brightness. I think this color will give it that old school classic Tron green that I'm going for.

The question is, should I do the first edge highlights with that color, or mix a little bit of VMC Black Green into it to darken it, then second highlight w/ pure VMC Emerald, and then do a final edge highlight of VMC Emerald mixed with a little bit of VMC Pale Sand?

OR

Start straight from VMC Emerald, second edge h/l VMC Emerald:VMC Pale Sand 2:1, then final edge 1:1? Whatcha think?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521471/5515171.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521471/5515171.page GMT


It looks a lot more blue than green in this picture, I'm waiting until I finish to take a good one.

Edit: By thinly, I mean I thinned it down with water a bit.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521471/5515476.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521471/5515476.page GMT btw!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521471/5515513.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521471/5515513.page GMT
The edge highlighting is finished in the picture I posted. I should be able to post some pictures of the completed model tonight.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521471/5515752.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521471/5515752.page GMT
So you mixed in Space Wolves Grey, a very pastel almost white color. I've been doing the same, basically - adding Pale Sand (a yellowish off white) to the Emerald, and I was concerned about it maybe being overkill.

Thanks for the reply, that actually helps me alot!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521471/5516001.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521471/5516001.page GMT
