Recently a friend lent me 3 colorshift paints by GSW, namely Darth Blue, Evil Forest and Borealis Green, to test on some The Makers Cult models I printed. A while ago I decided that I wanted my Iron Hive models to have opalescent armour plates, so the only thing left was to find the hue that I liked most. The schemes above are almost the same in terms of colours used, with the only difference being the shifter paint used. I decided to buy the same set (which contains 3 more paints), and the other ones plus probably more from other companies, to have options for various future projects. From those three I like Borealis Green most (even though I don't think I would use it for my Iron Hive).
The schemes:
- Black primer
- White drybrish to better see the details
- Grey Seer on the flesh
- Black on the armour plates
- Gloss Varnish on the armour plates
- Darth Blue (left) - one coat/ Evil Forest (middle) - 2 coats with airbrush and 3 with brush/ Borealis Green (right) - 2 coats on the armour plates
- True Brass on the armour trim
- Runelord Brass on some details
- Heavy Metal on the weapons and spine
- Steel on the rest of the metal bits
- Grimdark Shadow on the metal elemenents
- (optional) Stormhost Silver drybrush over the metal elements
