It would tie them in more and achieve the "these guys are really old" feeling.

Maybe another very thin wash of patina with more light blue in it to help bring up the contrast of the metalics. I'd go with yellow, yellow/green, and green for the eyes and stay away from blues and reds. As reds and blues tend to be 'go to' colors for marine eyes, and yellow and yellow/green and green make for a great 'ghostly' color if you use them for OSL.Elbrunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609599302380972439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-50765897386598930282011-12-10T12:34:56.389-05:002011-12-10T12:34:56.389-05:00Deathbringer, they are more unread than ghosts.Deathbringer, they are more unread than ghosts.TJ Atwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304177224607153451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-37731850607785290542011-12-10T11:28:18.021-05:002011-12-10T11:28:18.021-05:00I would go less on the verdigris as well, and take...I would go less on the verdigris as well, and take it to a pale green. As for the eyes, I'm not sure if anything but blue would really work for the glow, reds yellows and oranges would really blend with the bronze that I feel any glow would be lost. Greens would be lost in the verdigris. I'm not sure if something grey would look quite right.doom_of_the_peoplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05556973447747533412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-60509349059666290792011-12-10T09:09:22.126-05:002011-12-10T09:09:22.126-05:00If these guys are supposed to be ghosts I think th...If these guys are supposed to be ghosts I think the green color should be brighter to put more emphasis on the ghostly aspect. Draw more attention to that aspect so you can avoid having your army assumed to be a counts as variant rather then deathwing who continue their fight for the emperor after death.PG_Hickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18166592603006281683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-48576430893707656252011-12-10T07:59:57.327-05:002011-12-10T07:59:57.327-05:00I think I got it down.

I popped out of the shower this morning and started doing some super-light drybrush rust shades, picking out less details and letting the patina and rust do their jobs as far as effect and cool factor go. Still looking for advice on what people think of the white and I am still playing with colors for the eyes.TJ Atwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304177224607153451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-56597020329350869372011-12-10T07:23:35.191-05:002011-12-10T07:23:35.191-05:00If you use rust pigment, the orange is going to bl...If you use rust pigment, the orange is going to blend into the rust and just look like rusty eyes. I can understand wanting to stay away from blue though since everybody and their mother has blue glow eyes and power weapons. Green? I think it'll be personal preference <br /><br />If you want to lighten up the brass do a super light dry brush of shining gold. Super light and just over the top of the model's weird hunchback thing. <br /><br />I like what you're doing. You're biggest critic is always yourself though. Push through that and you'll have a cool looking army. Its quick and easy so why not push through?Chris Vintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02366710490951729022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-21776665087337029942011-12-10T05:28:42.103-05:002011-12-10T05:28:42.103-05:00I really like the look of these new guys, but as w...I really like the look of these new guys, but as with BlueRonin, I think you may want to add in a little more contrast by taking the brass a little brighter, and I'd suggest going a little easier on the verdigris as it takes up too much of the surface at the moment in my opinion. Limiting it to only the recesses where it wouldn't wear off from normal wear and tear would look better, perhaps with a few minor streaks.<br /><br />I really love the look however, its very effective and a great save from what you'd been left with, great work.Andy - bGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15248283508785967847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-26048893097105978632011-12-10T03:42:54.931-05:002011-12-10T03:42:54.931-05:00I have been wanting to comment since the disaster ...I have been wanting to comment since the disaster post; however, I could not find anything to say.
