Using the same miniature from the last post, I decided to try out adding pink. This is a test mini after all, and is destined for a bath in simple green before too long, so why not try out everything. I created a glaze out of GW screamer pink and spread it around really carefully around the armor plates. I tried to make the paint act like a tint rather than a full blown layer. The previously highlighted purple stayed light, and the darker purple turned a bit more red. I finished the model off by adding some line highlights of EC pink. While some of the previous blending was lost, overall the tinting process seems to work. I am not sure I could control this on a whole army's worth of models, but I like this version of the EC better. Imagine rich red cloaks on all of the special characters. I think the tint warms up the base enough so it would look good.
How does this version compare to the last?
Perfect! This second take looks great - just the right tinge of pink/red on the purple and the gold definitely looks better as well. Good stuff, man!
ReplyDeleteMuch warmer. You are right though, consistency across the army might be hard unless you did all the armour in one go. O_o
ReplyDeleteDefinitely prefer this version to the last.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried the badger ghost tints!? The magenta one may give you what your looking for. I used screamer pink base with a couple glazes over it with the ghost tint to good results
