http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Hello people! So...im quite new to the forum and to WH40k in general, I started about 5 months ago and chose the Dark angels as a starting army. Immediatly I got the Dark Angels codex, a Chaos Black sprayer as primer (they didn't have the Caliban green) and the 'Paint set' box, containing 5 Dark Angels Space Marines, 8 citadel paints (Mournfang Brown, Ulthuan grey, Agrax Earthshade, Mephiston Red, Ushabti Bone, Leadblecher, Imperial Primer and Caliban Green) plus, well a starter brush. Anyway, I tried painting two or three marines, and the results weren't too bad, the only thing im concerned about is the fact that the green looks a little too dark, as by looking at them while not in direct light, the colour looks almost black. So, I just wanted to know if there was a way to lighten up the armour colour just a little bit. Also, I was planning to get a Terminator squad (Oh, right, I allready have a Tactical space marine squad) and I was wandering if there was an alternative to the bone colour of the Deathwing Terminators...I was thinking of something more on white, but if white is too difficult for a starter like me, then I'll just paint them in bone colour.
So, if anyone can help me, please do! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583342/6605595.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583342/6605595.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583342/6605607.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583342/6605607.page GMT On the terminators, I've seen people do an almost pure white scheme, which looked nice. Rakarth flesh might be a good base, or ceramite white with a wash. I could also be convinced to use Nurgling green, but I haven't seen it in the flesh so I can't comment on whether this would be a good choice.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583342/6605636.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583342/6605636.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583342/6605918.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583342/6605918.page GMT DW terminators.
