Silver:

Black:
Chaos Black. Highlight edges with (p3) Coal Black. Highlight with 50/50 Coal Black/Fortress Grey, then highlight Fortress Grey on it's own.
Gold:

Hi Matt! Kat Loch from CMON here. Thanks so much for posting the recipes. They are fantastic! One question/request. Ellie demonstrated a woven technique on a cloak that he said you helped him with that looked quite intriguing. Would you mind sharing that? I'm like this little sponge over here wanting to absorb all the info I can. :D Thank you.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work!
Cheers,
Kat
PS - any chance of seeing you at a GD any time soon? 2012 maybe?
Sure thing, I think I'll do some woven texture on the confrontation fig. I'll post some WIP shots and a quick tutorial.
ReplyDeleteNot sure about games day. The last one I went to was in 2008. I sort of stopped going since I've been really burnt out with the hobby and since GW cancelled the Los Angeles ones (it's a quick drive for me here in Phoenix). Not really too keen on dishing out all that money and deal with a plane flight/hotel for a toy soldier convention these days... I'm pretty broke. Maybe I can save up for next year but I'm not too sure ;)
Thank you so much! I really appreciate all of your help. I enjoy the learning. The WIP and tutorial will be fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the burn out. I'm the same way on the model horse hobby. And just had a financial disaster over here to top it all off. But I'm bound and determined to go to GD for the first time next year. It would be great to see you there!
