I also used them to paint Loki, my Thousand Sons Sorcerer/Lord. He's the DV model. I first painted him a mix of black and Tamiya bare aluminum. Then zenithial highlighting with straight Aluminum, and a Nuln Oil wash to darken the shading. After the blue on him, the shading is visible, just not as dramatic as I'd have liked. I could have got lighter on the blue, but not too much or I'd not have got the vividness I wanted. His cape is roughly the same, while I think it looks good, some of the shading is lost at gaming distance.

Any tips to address these minor issues? Is it necessary to give a coat of matte or satin varnish over them to paint on top of them? Any other general advice? I really love these tints, trying to find more excuses to use them!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/542531/5888998.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/542531/5888998.page GMT good videos if you haven't seen them. I have the minitaire set but haven't used the ghost tints much yet so can't offer any advice. Orcpainternerd and Ichiban both have some good videos that might show where you can improve with them.

I'm going to go home and start over on the cape. I'm going to base it in white, or maybe pale grey, then shade and highlight very starkly before spraying the tints in thin layers allowing them to dry in between.

Any recommendations on psi? Lower, as high as normal? For what it's worth, I'm using a Patriot with a fine needle. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/542531/5890757.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/542531/5890757.page GMT
