Turquoise Highlight Question

original thread ↗

What do you use to get the turquoise highlights on amour and the leadbelchers canons?

I'm guessing you're talking about Verdigris?

Looks like this: http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/uploaded/John%20Paul/2009421_verdigris.jpg

What I do is take some Sybarite Green (I think, not at my paint desk) add a little bit of white, blue, or green depending on your preference (how green you want it, or how blue, etc), then dilute it a lot with water until it becomes like a custom wash. Then, wash however much you want all over the metal and let it dry.

EDIT: Sorry about revising so soon, but I just remembered Dreadboi does a bit different style of verdigris in his tutorial on painting an Ogre Bull in this post: http://www.ogrestronghold.com/forum/index.php?topic=20747.0     Just scroll down a ways and you'll see where the Ironfist and sword are being painted. :)

Hope this helps!!

Thanks for the information.  Looking at the Citadel line, I think this may do the trick:

In my experience, it tends to go better with bronze metal. Here's my first attempt on the gut plate. I went a little heavier then you.

I also usually start with a bronze or brown-er color.

On Ironfists, armor, weapons, etc. I usually start with Boltgun Metal/Leadbelcher, then wash with Devlan Mud/Agrax Earthshade a couple of times to make it look old, grimy and like the Ogres don't care about the condition.

Then, after the wash is dry I wash it with the verdigris mix. I wash it pretty heavily, and then use the brush to pull the wash out of certain recesses where it may have built up too much, or where I put too much on the model in the first place. Once that's dry I highlight the metal with Chainmail/Ironbreaker. Highlight things like the rivets, extreme edges that may get bumped or knocked around through everyday use (edges of blades, gutplates, etc)

I don't have pictures ATM (at work) but if I think about it later this weekend I can post some stuff.
