Blog Angry Dooting and other undead endeavors

For green weapons and/or energy I do these two:

1. Ectoplasm
- Prime white
- shade green (GW Biel Tan green)
- heavy drybrush or layer with white
- glaze green (GW Waywatcher Green)
- drybrush white, more carefully this time.

2. Dark green weapon
- Prime grey or dark preferably, if you used white you will need a layer or two more
- Basecoat dark green (GW Caliban green)
- shade green (GW Biel Tan green)
- If it is still too bright after that shade, shade dark (GW Nuln Oil)
- highlight by carefully drybrushing with a bright green (GW Moot Green)
- optionally do a light drybrush with white on the sharpest edges
- If you want a lightning/power weapon effect, then freehand paint thin, jagged lines of thinned down moot green, and on top of those very thin lines of white
- If either the lightning or the white highlights are too extreme you can give them a green tint using a glaze (GW Waywatcher Green)

Example for 1:
- All the green parts of my Morghasts:

Examples for 2:
- The Morghast's halberd blade (without lightning, but with green tinted white highlighting) (see link above)
- My Sunblood's shield and weapon (weapon with lightning effect, green highlights without white)

IMO the contrast between the weapons and the body is a bit stark, but it does look kinda cool.
Maybe if you drybrush the weapons softly with a blueish white that could tie them a bit together.
But I think you can do a nice looking army that way.

 

They are too yellow at the moment, I think if he dotted the center white that would help, also I know these are painted fast but cut back on the shade or apply a couple of coats.

@Lord-Marcus look at the shields and how dark they are, if you applied 2 thinner coats of shade you would get a better progression from light to dark and not lose detail.

Just needs a bit more control, yeah I know they are speed painted.

 

They've got eeeeeeevil eyes!
I like it, it's a detail that gives them personality

 

I think if the orange would be a bit more transparent and there was a bright center they would look even better.

 

Surely a quick way to do them.
The green turned out very good.

 

I think you are overdoing the eyes a bit.
Otherwise fine.
