I like it. It give SMs that sense of style the so dsperatly need. + rep from me. You helped decide what I want to do with my pink horrors. Oooo shiny irredesent horror. Ooo I gan do that on my daemon's armor too.
After reading this I used the purple wash over my sonic blasters that had been painted boltgun metal, and it really added a nice slaanesh flare that was lacking. Thanks for the idea.
Hello btw. My first post here on this excellent message board.
Hello to you too :biggrin: now, you have just admitted to owning chaos, this means you must post pictures of them, i'd love to see some slaneeshi models :3
Btw, cool painting, i already do this with my chaos, but just on a white undercoat, gives for a less shiny effect :laugh:
this kinda takes me back to when i started the hobby, my GW store used to black wash(well it was ink back then) all the new model and put them in the cabinets, the wash was so you could pick out the detail because back in the day almost everything was lead.
Then they would paint them up over the next few weeks based on what came through in white dwarf heavy metal pages.
I've done this on some of the armor for my Slaanesh Fantasy army. Purple wash over silver gives a really nice metallic pink effect. It still looks like metal, just Slaaneshi. It would probably look good in a Tzeench force as well, though I wouldn't use it for Nurgle
Even Khorne could possibly benefit from a red wash over brass. I don't know how it would look though. As a dedicated Slaanesh follower I wouldn't try it unless I was making a trophy-standard.
Man, this reminds me of the discussion we were having a few months back on here about metallic red. i think we all agreed mixing red with boltgun metal was best, but maybe this is the way forward?
i think it would work for a sm army just have to invent som fluff like..... maybe they dont believe in worn armour the firmly belive in the amour right and always have the armour in prestene condition. something like that. or the could be the necron hunters, were the shiney armour has some kind of ability lol.
I used to do this with many diffrent projects but one thing I learned is it can be over done badly. Its good for GK definately but when you move on to vehicles you have to be careful it come out really sloppy.
In many cases depending on how strong you want the color to be you might anna try using inks as well.
