Love your teaching style! I was actually using spiritstone red over white bc it gives that reflective effect with a natural catchlight - but I’m going to try BA contrast now too. I also love that you let the undercoat go over the bottom eyelid so that it can sell the glowing effect - def gonna try!

Awesome vid, seems way more approachable now. Would you have any suggestions for a paint list for purple lenses?

Glad you liked it. Purple has always been a bit tricky for me. I've had difficulty finding hyper vibrant purple paints (perhaps its a pigment limitation?). Maybe for purple a violet ink might be a better way to go over a conventional contrast paint. Or try out the method described in the vid. The most vibrant Contrast/express purple over a bright base. Then once dry, a bright pale purple over top.

Sorry for the late response, just noticed this 😅 It definitely could in principle! Though it may require less of a quick and dirty approach.

the easiest way for me to do this is paint the lens black, then white over the middle part where it sticks up a bit. then a thinned paint or contrast paint.

nice videos! Any ideas on making a white glow that doesn't just look flat?

White glow is a tough one. Personally I haven't attempted it, but I'd say trying this method would probably be my first avenue of experimentation. Perhaps, Off-white, then grey or maybe white contrast...🤔

Best chances are reversing the highlights using contrasts. Make the edges brighter than the inner ring and use pure white (would recommend bold titanium white, honestly) for the exact center. Soulblight grey contrast for the glaze, probably? White is the worst color to paint. Worse than black, worse than yellow

@WhatThe40k I´m creating my own chapter based on Black Templars... but with the classic Codex helmet color markings and the Blood Angels helmet color scheme what is a "neutral" color for the lenses in all combinations of black, red, yellow, white, gold, silver and blue I don't want my home brew chapter to be confused with other chapters because the "colors are more or less fixed to the colors of the helmets " for example: I can't use red lenses with red helmets etc. I want all branches to have the same lens color... I'm experimenting with the Colorshift and Chrome colors from GWS, but I'm not happy with them yet because the "contrast" is too weak for some color combinations The lens color should be something like an "identifying feature", like the shoulder armor color of the BT's, and should have an extremely "intimidating" effect I was thinking of an effect like plasma in a radiant chromatic blue-white color that stands out even with silver, white and gold thanks in advance ;)

Hmmm. Good question. Definitely tougher with so many varieties of helmets. And if you must keep the eye lenses the same across all helmet types I would say.................................... Green. Green iz best.

I’m not sure what to do for my dark pale green helms of my dragon fists with dark red armor. I don’t like yellow or bright green really. Red or blue eyes or even purple?

I believe I replied to this question on an earlier post, but incase you missed it :Blue eye lenses might be to your preference. It should contrast well against the crimson, and pair nicely against the gold accents too.

You got a recommended citadel red for the raven guard lenses? Haven’t bought any other brands other than valejo for a decent white and their German grey

To my eye, I would recommend Fulgrim Pink for the bright base (maybe add a touch of white scar to brighten it up further).

@WhatThe40k Жыл бұрын
I'd agree with @Writh811 I've found the citadel paints which were once under the 'edge' type serve well as the pale base

does this method also work for things like plasma?

Technically yes, for a quick and dirty plasma effect it would suffice. Though, it will always read better against darker colored schemes/ weapon casings.

That “Ultramarines Sergeant” head wouldn’t look that out of place on a Word Bearer, maybe as a Mk IV helmet retained from the Heresy or as a fancy piece of gear looted off of a fallen loyalist, at least to my eye
