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

Product Information

In contrast to gemstones, glass tends to be harder and less refractive, and it’s usually going to be a clear surface acting as a window to something behind. When painting glass, your goal should be to add a similar highlight structure to the surface on top of whatever is being shown beneath. As with gemstones, using sharper highlights will make your glass look more polished and clean, whereas smoother highlights will give it a cloudier, dirty look. 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 FauxHammer – Latest Video on YouTube Warhammer 40,000 Imperium Delivery 18: Issues 67-70 Review – Introduction The Orks themselves are, unfortunately, not the most recently released chaps in the greenskin range. 2022 saw a bit of a facelift for 40K’s Orks, but these models are not those. But never mind – these are still pretty cool. The process is pretty similar for large and curved glass surfaces, though you can use gemstone highlighting (circles) on glass bowls/domes.

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. And, of course, there’s also a miniature of the shadowy agent of the Imperium. It’s a really nice one, too. 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, This step is honestly optional. Some models don’t benefit from the extra shine of the gloss varnish in particular. For the next colour Dechala Lilac, I only did a couple of mixes with the Damonette probably going 1:3 Lilal:Damonette and 2:3 before a thin line of pure lilac at the bottom. Then I just added a thin crescent of Flayed One Flesh at the top of the gem, the idea with this is to imply that light is reflecting off the outer surface of the gem as well as diffusing through it.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. 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. Overall the model is not too challenging at any particular point to paint, but there is a lot going on with it. My suggestion is to make sure you have a plan from the start; the most challenging thing was that I was kind of making it up as I went along and could have done with a little more forethought about how I was going to deal with all the details. But the truly essential technical paints are Lahmian Medium and Contrast Medium– the former is a clear paint substance that’s perfect for diluting Citadel paints into washes, or less vivid versions of themselves. The same is true of Contrast Medium for Contrast paints.

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.

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. 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. Once again, I’m going to pinch the table from our Premium Sets Savings Breakdown so you can see how much money you’re getting off Premium Kit 4. Premium Kit Number

This was a technique I originally developed for my Wraithknight – a model covered with so many extremely huge gemstone bumps that the gemstone paints and traditional gemstone methods didn’t quite look quite right. The technique also scales well in reverse, looking really neat and unique at a small scale. Most importantly it’s the easiest thing in the world to do and it takes a matter of minutes to complete. 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. 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. 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. There’s also a sizable guide for painting Calgar and his Honour Guard, as well as datasheets for both.
