http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m1251689_99110104095_Strikingscorpmain_873x627.jpg

it's fairly clear to me that they must use some sort of succession of extremely thin layers. it sorta looks like goblin green, but upon experimenting, its def a completely different color they use.
i've tried watering down my paints, and they get grainy with poor coverage

is there like a special medium or something?

surely someone out there must know how to do a good job on striking scorpions? i just cant get the smooth layers like the ones show]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/575986/6477100.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/575986/6477100.page GMT Re:help! how does gw paint their striking scorpions GW, try asking at uk.custserv@gwplc.com.

The GW ones don't actually look like they've done tons of layers, they look like they done green with a couple of edge highlights and a very carefully done green wash, maybe even an oil wash.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/575986/6477311.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/575986/6477311.page GMT help! how does gw paint their striking scorpions http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/575986/6477323.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/575986/6477323.page GMT Re:help! how does gw paint their striking scorpions

I have used Lamium medium as my thinning agent, rather that water that makes a lot of difference. Sorry, I can't help with the specific colours used but, as I have had that sort of advice from GW, try asking at uk.custserv@gwplc.com.

i like this video even more than gw's models! but ive contacted this guy a while ago and no response
he seems to be a big fan of showing off his painting skills, but very reluctant in sharing any info on how he does it

do you think these use an oil wash?
