I painted up a Riptide. Black coat, layered on some Shadow Grey (A darker blue) and have red decals.
I'm having trouble highlighting the colour though. The colours i have narrowed it down to are
-Ice Blue
-Hawk Turquoise
-Space Wolves Grey
The turqoise seems good, but a little to stand-outish... was just hoping for some words-in on the topic, and suggestions of combinations etc

Cheers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525280/5584707.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525280/5584707.page GMT Highlighting Shadow Grey >.> Halp http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525280/5584997.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525280/5584997.page GMT Highlighting Shadow Grey >.> Halp

I mix Space Wolves Grey 1:1 with Shadow Grey. They're both blue greys, so it looks right to my eyes. You can change the ratio to suit your taste.


I agree, with Ultra grey, you can start mixining space wolves grey to your shadowgrey and make a layered transition towards a color that you are confortable with, it doesn't have to go all the way to space wolves grey. My style would include an extreeme highlight on all of the edges afterwards, that makes them look more like games-workshop style miniatures. or go for a more realistic look just layering colors without edge highlights.

Also you don't have to use the spacewolves grey, if you want a turquoise look you can highlight with that too. depends on what you like]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525280/5585999.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525280/5585999.page GMT Highlighting Shadow Grey >.> Halp

So I have to settle for cool conversions and mediocre paint schemes. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525280/5597639.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/525280/5597639.page GMT
