After habing painted CSM and tyranids for years, I am beginning a new army . Grey Knights. I will use "metallic" paints : Iron breaker, Boltgun Metal and Runfang Steel for the armor. I usually have problems painting with this kind of paint : I find it is difficult to obtain a uniform color. That is why I have in mind to :
1 - undercoat them with plate mail metal primer from The Army Painter.
2 - a layer of Ironbreaker on all the armor
3 - wash with Nuln Oil
4 - darken with Boltgun metal
5 - Adding lining effects with Runefang Steel.
6 - Use Nuln Oil where needed.
7 - for the golden parts, overbrush with shinning gold then washed with... have no idea, can you help me ?

Then, do you glue your models and after you paint them, or do you undercoat them, glue them then paint them, or third : undercoat and paint before assembling ?

Thanks !

Personally I like a middle brown for basing gold (old bestial brown was my favorite). After the base coat, I put down the first layer of gold, than a light wash with sepia or an other brown ink/wash of your choice, then I drybrush a highlight of the original gold used.

The brown wash before highlighting really makes the gold lettering on the GK shoulder pads "POP".

you are the second person to indicate me to base gold parts with brown. I would never had this idea, but the result looks impressive, and I will surely try it on my GK.

Glad to help. BTW don't limit the brown base to just gold, Its great on bronze and tin as well (any metallic that's not in the silver range). ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525146/5583362.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525146/5583362.page GMT
