The...I am glad you like the model and the painting! The Stygies color scheme is a great one.<br /><br />For this model the base color I used was Vallejo Model Color Dark Grey (994). I then did a series of highlights to the grey mixing in more and more Citadel Fenrisian Grey. Finally, I did some small highlights with straight Fenrisian grey. I did not use any washes, but they could work I think. Hopefully this helps!Adam Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710889303035437886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-14251844987065700532018-08-27T13:53:04.517-07:002018-08-27T13:53:04.517-07:00Hey there!

I am starting to paint Skitarii with the Stygies color scheme and am wondering about the combination you used. My initial thought was to maybe try The Fang as a basecoat color. Now i'm thinking more Eshin Grey with a blue wash over it. Yours looks exactly what I'm trying to go for, however. Thank you in advance!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04029506965957323803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-55924094732362116242015-06-25T21:10:33.333-07:002015-06-25T21:10:33.333-07:00Thanks!

I have always been a little reluctant to do so because you can screw up your paint job something fierce if you apply too much glue.

I think my reservations were primarily focused around the exceedingly bright red in the scheme. I think the darker red tones I used on Beltran's armor look much nicer and fit the grim dark of 40k better. :)Adam Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710889303035437886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-81462401191251648242015-06-24T18:22:51.550-07:002015-06-24T18:22:51.550-07:00Thanks for all of the thoughts and suggestions abo...Thanks for all of the thoughts and suggestions about painting the crests on Beltran's coat. I simple thin line trimming the coat could work pretty well. In terms of the color, I lean towards either white or gold.<br /><br />Certainly look into SCALE75 for their metallic paints. They are really nice. Vallejo also makes a really nice dark metallic called Black Metal that you could look into as well.
