Hi,
I
made this tutorial because some people asked me about the colors that
I use for silver and Golden NMM. Here you will find the answers but
this tutorial only covers what colors to use. In near future I'm
planing to make a another tutorial about NMM but with all the details
you need to know how to plan the highlights to achieve the final
effect. OK now lets focus on those colors.
Silver
NMM
For
this I'm using:
Chaos
Black,
Mechanicus
Standard Grey,
A
old Rackham paint Steel Grey (I know this one is hard to get but
from what I know you can swap this one for a Vallejo Model Color
Steel Grey),
Skull
White,
First
I'm preparing the colors so I can easy work with them.
A
mix of Chaos Black and Mechanicus Standard Grey (proportions 1:1)
Pure
Mechanicus Standard Grey,
Mix
of Mechanicus Standard Grey and Steel Grey (1:1)
Pure
Steel Grey,
Mix
of Steel Grey and Skull White (1:1),
Pure
Skull White.
OK
here you have a step by step how to make highlights.
Step
one: Color 1 used for the darkest shades/primmer.
Step
two: Highlight with color 2 and then a highlight with color 3
(unfortunately I had a crappy photo of highlight with color 2 so I'm
sorry for skipping this stage),
Step
three: Highlight with color 4,
Step
four: Highlight with color 5 and a glaze with color 4 (I do this to
archive a pure color 4 because it is crucial to for the Silver to
have its blue color and bright colors are more saturated on white
surfaces), and then a further highlight with color 5,
Step
five: Final highlights with color 6. At this stage a made some blinks
to add light reflexes.
Golden
NMM
For
Golden NMM I'm using:
Chaos
Black,
Regal
Blue,
Snakebite
Leather (this one is hard to get because Games Workshop changed its
pallet and the new paint is different, I don't have a solution for
this because I have almost full pot of Snakebite and it will take
some time before I will search for a new one. Unfortunately this
color is crucial for the Golden NMM effect),
Bleached
Bone,
Skull
White.
OK
again I'm preparing the colors for painting.
Mix
of Chaos Black, Regal Blue and Snakebite Leather (1:1:1)
Mix
of Regal Blue and Snakebite Leather (1:1)
Pure
Snakebite Leather,
Mix
of Snakebite Leather and Bleached Bone (1:1),
Pure
Bleached Bone,
Pure
Skull White.
Step
by step how to paint Golden NMM:
Step
one: Base with color 1,
Step
two: First highlight with color 2,
Step
three: Second highlight with color 3,
Step
four: Highlight with color 4,
Step
five: Glaze with color 3 to soften the transition and achieve a nice
pure color 4,
Step
six: Highlight with color 4 to further add some brighter color,
Step
seven: Highlight with color 5,
Final
Step: Final highlight with color 6 and at this stage I'm adding
blinks and some edge highlights.
OK
ant that is all :D. I hope this will help someone to try and paint
NMM because its not that hard to do it :D.
