[@nintendoknight99]

This is just what I was looking for! I was trying to figure out what edges do and what edges not to highlight on my chaos warriors and how to build up the highlights.

[@blacktemplar5828]

It's Cool but there is a simple other way: 1: Black Primer 2: Mechanicum Standart Grey (Dry brush) 3: Fenris Grey (Strong dry brush) 4: Nuln Oil over the entire Mini. Do this until you have the darkness you want. Done (You can so this in this way for Vehicles too.) Best Regards from Germany

[@mtgplayer1239]

Yes! So much faster and Looks more Natural then Edge Highlights!

Zumikito: "And don't try to paint your whole army like this, or it's gonna take forever." Me, 2 years into painting 3k of Black Templars with Eshin Grey>Dawnstone>Admin Grey highlights: "Huh, yeah, that's good advice."

[@ironreed2654]

Any particular reason your both avoiding the more Traditional: Abaddon Black, Eshin Grey, Dawnstone Highlights?

[@wafflesthecat6661]

@@ironreed2654 I use a slightly different version of what he uses, and the main reason for layering Eshin Grey is because is still allows for there to be some shadows and depth, while still reading as black when highlighted

[@ironreed2654]

@@wafflesthecat6661 so Dawnstones too "bright" for your taste? I've following the "citdedel charts" so far but this Knight Arminger is my first attempt at black stripes and panel lining

[@nicholassmith7984]

@@wafflesthecat6661 I did something similar on a squad of Death Company years ago, though I found Eshin Grey still a bit too light for my tastes. I ended up using a 1:2 mix of Eshin Grey with Abaddon Black, shaded with a 1:1 mix of Abaddon Black and Nuln Oil (the wash on its own didn't show that well.) After highlighting and other details, they still look really close to black, though still with notable shading. Now they have Corvus Black available, I'm finding that works quite well to get the same effect.

[@Supreme-Mentalman]

Intreasting. I can’t get the hang of ‘volume’ on black so I’m glad I can just edge highlight. And yes it is torture doing multiple marine army’s like this. For some reason I decided to do Ravenwing, Black Legion and Black Armoured Space Wolves. 😢 🤯

[@pancakemogul]

Thanks for the guide! As much as I love colourful and distinct armies, to my great annoyance, all of my favourite subfactions are primarily black: Black Templars, Black Legion, Order of Our Martyred Lady and Craftworld Ulthwé, so this definitely come in handy. At least it mixes well with other colours.

[@rnichol22]

I still think the eavy metal style for space marines is the best way. Also it's definitely more than just edge highlights. Looks great

Nice tutorial, i actually asked for this in a video before 👍🏼 what do you Think about drybrushing the large armor plates exposed to Light with corax black in combination with a Highlighting as in the video? Would These 2 fit together on the Same Model?

[@Zumikito]

You can try it, but drybrush can cause rough surface or "scratches" which would not really work with precise neat highlights,but if you make it look damaged, who knows? You could try glazing over the exposed part or airbrushing it instead

"Don't try to paint your whole army like this, or it's gonna take forever" You underestimate my power. I want nothing but the best result for my army, being it my biggest, most expensive model, to the common foot trooper. Takes time, but the result is so much more enjoying.

Do you use the wet palette while edge highlighting? I’m struggling to get a balance between the highlights being watery on the wet palette, and the paint drying out on the end of the brush in a dot when I don’t use it.

[@Zumikito]

The trick is to not water down your paint too much, otherwise you lose control over it. I do use wet palette, but don't add as much water

[@MF-kv8cn]

hey what color would You use to black line/pin wash a black space marine? i seen your previous video where you eve recommend using pigma markers. i found a marker brand with a 0.1mm tip and 0.05mm tip by staedtler. for blood angels i use contrast black templar or flash heard red. what would one use for a black mini? thank you for the reply

[@Zumikito]

that is very easy! you don't shade black armor. Yes, seriously. You literally can not go darker than black, so applying any wash doesn't make sense - you can only build up from pure black, not down.

[@Zumikito]

funny thing is that today I have scheduled video on how to keep painting when you are not motivated enough - either way, I would pick maximum of 5 dudes at one time and not go as far as doing 3 edge highlights o all of them - if it's the whole army, 1 edge highlight is enough (and maybe do more on your characters if you feel like it)
