painting visors

what scheme or colors are used to paint the visors or face covers on the helmets that gives them the look like the have in the codex?

If your talking about the one in the wych squad they used a light grey like Astronomican grey, if your talking about the ones on the Reavers it looks like they used chainmail, with mithril silver layered on. A light brush of gloss coat would help with the shine as well.

You can also paint them as you would paint a Soulstone , then apply gloss varnish.
You can watch it in Sorrowshard blog, they are just awesome. And screw all originality , im gonna take that idea for me as well ))

I stole this 100% too


I did a variant of this for the Wyche visor:

Wow! Those are some tasty paintjobs you got there ESE! Those visors are excellent.

I also must commend you on your fleshwork. At the risk of being accused of thread hijack, could you give me a brief rundown on your method?

Nice faces )) Can you give step by step ?

I'll post something on my project log this weekend. (I'm going to try painting tonight with my sprained thumb)It really isn't that complicated now that I have streamlined the process.

Back on topic: I use the gem painting technique listed above for the visors. It really looks great and isn't that hard to do.
