Games Workshop - Citadel Technical Paint - Tesseract Glow (18ml)

Product Information

Below is a rough Harlequin Skyweaver I painted up for a friends birthday with a very happy little nurgling hanging on for dear life. He’s a little more intensive to assemble compared to his peers (though that’s not saying much), but he’s certainly the stand-out figure amongst the bunch. I can’t wait to get some paint onto him.

It’s a really easy technique, great for when you’re feeling daunted at painting a million billion gemstones. You can also mix it in pretty freely with other gemstone techniques – giving line troopers opals and sparing the more precise techniques for characters or very central stones. For larger areas you want to create vague clouds of colour, letting the cooler colours dominate but with central patches of the warmer ones. Should be fine. I use either old citadel green glaze over a white base, or the hexwraith flame technical to get a similar effect. For varnishes, you’ll want to look at Stormshield and ‘Ardcoat– the former is a matte varnish that’s great for protecting models, and/or ensuring a totally matte finish. It’s also useful when sealing transfers on models. ‘Ardcoat, meanwhile, is a gloss varnish that’s perfect for making gems look shiny. In the image above, I’ve attached a piece of textured green stuff to her base that I’ll paint to look like a stone-flagged floor. Note that this component doesn’t come in the magazine. Premium Kit 4 Honestly, if you have the time, use one of the other methods listed. But if you’re like me and are time poor or just hate painting fiddly details then I have a simple two step process.More details on how best to use these are included in Premium Kit 4’s magazine. Warhammer 40,000 Imperium Delivery 18: Issues 67-70 Review – Price and Availability Many Warhammer fans will tell you that the Citadel spray cans are the way to go when undercoating your models before painting them. But we think these cans are unpredictable at best, requiring too fine a range of operating temperatures and conditions to really be considered reliable. They are, however, good if you have a mild room with low humidity. Primer – Vallejo Step 1. Paint the gem/lense with any bright silver metallic paint. I use GW Stormhost Silver, GW Runefang Steel or Army Painter Plate Metal.

What better way to start off the new year than with a fresh injection of plastic from the good folks at Hachette Partworks? As the collection is now stretching to 90 issues, it looks like we’ve got at least another five months of Warhammer 40,000 Imperium goodies on the way. I then mixed in Daemonette Hide in 3 steps before a final pure coat, the proportions for these things are kinda just something I do on the fly but I would think I go from 4:1 Naggaroth:Damonette to start with and end up with it reversed by the end. Starting with the Boyz, then, Premium Kit 4 comes with everything you need to build 10 Ork Boyz and a Boss Nob. good question. I don't paint this way (I always paint the trim last) but I see no reason why not to do as you suggestThere’s also a sizable guide for painting Calgar and his Honour Guard, as well as datasheets for both. Miniatures As I mentioned previously I tried to convey the difference is a glowing object vs a reflective object with the gems compared to the weapons, I am not sure how well that it gets across but hopefully you can see what I intended! Then I paint a line where I want the liquid to begin going around the vial. In this case, I used Sotek Green. I use the trim arrows as markers to make sure I’ve got a straight line – I want the line to be the same distance from each of the arrows as I go around. I shade that up using more and more Reaper Pure White toward the bottom. This gives the liquid a glowing look. As I do this, I paint in vertical lines rather than horizontal bands – this helps give the impression of movement in the liquid. I’ll also add a few dots of Drakenhof Nightshade to look like bubbles. In our How to Paint Everything series, we take a look at different armies of the Warhammer universes, examine their history and heraldry, and look at several different methods for painting them. This week we’re looking at how to paint Drazhar, the Master of Blades. Who is Drazhar?

In all, there’s a lot of cash to be saved across Delivery 18 – be it with the bonus Greyfax figure or the Premium Kit. That the models in the standard magazines are high value also pushes up the overall value of this delivery. Warhammer 40,000 Imperium Delivery 18: Issues 67-70 Review – Final Thoughts Pros Citadel Technical paints encompass specialist formulas that have each been designed to perform a specific painting or modelling role Here we’re doing our lower highlight. I use a little bit of bright orange on top of the Evil Sunz Scarlet to really make this pop. It’ll show up later when we add ‘Ardcoat. Just add some dots. Random, messy and restrained patterns with the tip of your brush. Don’t overthink it. Leave at least 50% of the green still showing. Step Four: Dorn Yellow The last model in Premium Kit 4 is the Big Mek. No model in this set sums up Orks in the 40K universe quite as well as this technology-obsessed maniac.

Best metallic paints for miniatures

The process is pretty similar for large and curved glass surfaces, though you can use gemstone highlighting (circles) on glass bowls/domes. Once that’s done I use a very light mix of Sotek and Pure White to mark the line where the liquid starts, and I highlight the top of the glass vial as well. Then I do a series of think vertical lines to act as the glass reflection, making sure it crosses the liquid line. Then I coat the whole thing in ‘Ardcoat to give it a glossy sheen, making it look more like glass. After that, I’ll paint the gold trim around it. White Scar is one of those paints you’ll likely never actually finish. It should be used so carefully and selectively that you won’t get to the bottom of the pot before the paint turns into gunge. Bonus: Inquisitor Greyfax

Speaking of paints, just in case you weren’t sure where to begin with your Premium Kit 4 goodies, you’ll be pleased to know that this set comes with two paints and a wash you can use to make a start painting Ork flesh. To start with I based the gems and weapon bits with Naggaroth Night, I put a decent amount of this onto my palette since I am going to mix the next colour into in a few steps. The particular technical paints we find most useful range from varnishes to gem paints, to fluorescent green stuff that makes the energy filaments in Necron guns glow with greenish flare. You can see both at work in the picture of my C’tan Shard of the Void Dragon below. Take a close look at the green areas – these have all been done with Tesseract Glow (aside from some of the highlights, which were Moot Green), and the finest white spot highlights have been applied with White Scar, If you have ever considered painting white on your model ever, get yourself some Apothecary White. It will make your life so easy.Unfortunately for me, my Issue 70 arrived with a damaged sprue and the all-important cape component for one of the Honour Guard missing. Because so much of the rest of the model relies on the cape being in place, I had to leave Guard #2 looking a little incomplete. Step 2. Literally any Contrast Colour you want painted over the silver in a thin coat. OR you can use some of the GW Technical range which are almost purpose made for this. Soulstone Blue, Spiritstone Red, Waystone Green or the new Tesseract Glow.
