Wash them, profit.

[lizardmen98]

I thought so. Which wash would you recomend?

[lizardmen98]

i've dug up a pot of agrax earthshade, would that do?

[Adkenpachi]

I dont know many of them but cause your guardsmen are brown surly Devlan Mud cant br wrong

[lizardmen98]

thanks

[Wraelis]

yeah, agrax earthshade is the new devlun mud.

[Adkenpachi]

They changed the names again?! Didnt that happen not long ago?

[emptyhat]

I'd suggest washing blue over your blue bits before the mud bath.

[lizardmen98]

Thanks for the advice guys, so should I do a heavy wash or a light wash? I think my veteran with the cards has had both agrax earth shade and blue ink, but I did him ages ago a d I've forgotten how I did it.

[lizardmen98]

Oh and I think the veterans cloth has been drybrushed with something aswell

Hi, lizard

You've had advice about washes etc already, so I shall move on to something else!

One thing that appears to be happening is that you're paint is I'm some places, too watery. And others, too thick. On the fatigues I would just another thin coat, just block the colour in a little more, at the moment they're very patchy. Once that's done and you have a stronger base colour, then you can effectively use washes

Then highlight, that's something that doesn't seem to be visible on the infantry. Once you've applied a wash, go back over with the main colour, avoiding the deep recesses, and them highlight

Thanks for all the advice guys, I'm washing my blobs men now!

[teku18]

A nice wash of Earthshade over the entire piece will give you this look.



Army is looking good buddy. Kinda happy I went with tan tanks instead of blue or this would have been weird hahah.

[emptyhat]

I still think they would have looked awesome as sci-fi cloud scheme warriors Teku

But yeah those look aces.

Looking at your chimera, where it has quite an uneven looking coat of paint (intentional or unintentional?) that would benefit from a heavier wash (I still think wash blue over the blue and then wash brown BTW). Your infantry have smaller details on them and more crannies so maybe a lighter wash.

[Adkenpachi]

I thought that was like a blue/blue camo not uneven paint :/

As for highlightingi recommend watching one or two youtube vids so you know exactly what your doing.

[lizardmen98]

The camo is a brilliant idea! I'll try it

[lizardmen98]

I've tried the blue camo spots on my command squad. Going to upload pics soon.

[lizardmen98]

@teku 18.
I personally think that blue vehicles suit my army. Maybe it's because my guys armour is a darker blue than yours.(?)

[The Hawk!]

I like the idea of the cards on your Veterans shoulder Looks pretty awsome dude!

How did the washes turn out?

[lizardmen98]

I'm still trying to get the blue ink. Hopefully I can pop to town tomorrow and pick some up. I have done a few of the guardsmens brown washes though. And for everyone, I am sorry for the crappy images. Also, would anyone have the answer to why the picture of the CCS dude keeps swapping with the vets picture? I have moved it back once already, but its down it again

[lizardmen98]

And thanks for all the positive feedback and helpful criticism!

[teku18]

Don't get me wrong nothing wrong with the blue tanks. I was on the fence doing my tanks blue or tan. As for the washes you could look into making your own washes with a watered down darker blue if you can't pick up an ink color from GW. Army looks good.

[lizardmen98]

Just digging up some blue ink now. The blue camo test on my CCS has worked a treat
