But the truly essential technical paints are Lahmian Medium and Contrast Medium– the former is a clear paint substance that’s perfect for diluting Citadel paints into washes, or less vivid versions of themselves. The same is true of Contrast Medium for Contrast paints. Step 1. Paint the gem/lense with any bright silver metallic paint. I use GW Stormhost Silver, GW Runefang Steel or Army Painter Plate Metal. It’s sometimes easy to forget there’s a non-Space Marine faction involved in Imperium, but Issue 68 comes with yet another Canoptek Wraith.

White Scar is one of those paints you’ll likely never actually finish. It should be used so carefully and selectively that you won’t get to the bottom of the pot before the paint turns into gunge. Bonus: Inquisitor GreyfaxWhen the Drazhar model was first announced, I took one look at it and knew I had to have it. The character was always cool but the old model was, shall we say, showing its age.

In our How to Paint Everything series, we take a look at how to paint different models, armies, and materials, and different approaches to painting them. In this article, we’re exploring how to paint gemstones, lenses, and other glass-like or highly reflective surfaces.

Should be fine. I use either old citadel green glaze over a white base, or the hexwraith flame technical to get a similar effect. The ‘Ardcoat is really my secret ingredient here at the end – it makes the colors pop and gives the gemstones a nice shine that really makes the effect stand out.Once again, I’m going to pinch the table from our Premium Sets Savings Breakdown so you can see how much money you’re getting off Premium Kit 4.
