Two similar favorites of mine. The struggle with having only the base set of paints is that its hard to come up with new combinations. Despite the color combinations used in either being so fifferent they sadly dont appear as unique as id hoped. But in the communities opinion. Which is better? Pale with Shale shell or Bluish red with a dirtier bronze?

I think either way i need more paints.

As for colour schemes to paint up for the local gaming club 'Mechs, I am feeling myself gravitate towards two of these. Kell Hounds with their red & black would make an excellent choice - that iconic Mercenary Unit could grab any machine they want as well as having a striking colour sceheme, and the mottled grey with red details for the Grey Death Legion also for similar reasons.

But the green guy at the end with the red and white stripes from a Federated Suns regiment? Something about it makes me like it. The ComStar Militia with their all white mechs also have a charm...

Lots to think about, lots to think about.

Got bored and threw this together last night to be a fake sponsor on a fake racecar. No fonts used, I based it all off of a 2 pixel wide line layer in photoshop.

The name "Evaldi" is just a bastardization of "Ivaldi". What kind of company is Evaldi? The kind that doesn't need to put anything other than it's name.

Also I wanted an excuse to put purple on this car.

You just came up on my dash, and I've got to say, your Stormcast Eternals are incredible, I'm in love with the paintscheme.

If you wouldnt mind, could you tell me what paints/techniques you used for them, because im heavily considering the purple/dark metallic vibe for my own Eternals.

Thanks so much! I'm really glad you like my paint scheme! I did them as a practice run for my Lethis City of Sigmar scheme and I refined it a little over the course of doing it. More than happpy to share my process with you:

Prime all black.

Airbrushed Led belcher silver all over not caring to be neat but making sure the armour is all covered.

Then Used Vallejo Black dip wash (but brushed on) as an all over wash on the armour. Now this wash is heavier than nuln oil and leaves a bit of a dirtier finish (which is what I wanted) but a good black shade wash would also do.

I then drybrushed the armour in downward motions with Led Belcher silver to catch the edges and make it less dirty in places where too much of the dip wash settled.

I then layered on Army Painter Shining Silver on bits like chest plates and the edges of things.

For the purple parts, do these steps after all the silver:

Base with Barak-Nar Burgundy

Nuln wash the Barak-Nar Burgundy parts

Layer Barak-Nar Burgundy over the top, leaving recesses black and dark, to begin to bring definition and shape to the area you're painting.

Layer 50/50 mix Barak-Nar Burgundy with Screamer Pink (this was like 2-3 thinned coats), continuing to build up the shape of the area you're painting.

Layer Screamer Pink.

Then highlight 50/50 mix screamer pink and Vallejo German Camo WW2. This is to be done sparingly and if the transition is too harsh, wash over it with a watered down Screamer Pink.

Rust on the armour: I watered down to a wash consistency some Doombull Brown and applied it on parts of the armour where rust would appear. Like in gaps and around bolts.

Hope that helps, happy painting!
