Painting an Eavy Metal Dark Angel | Random Astartes #5

It’s not “hope you like edge highlighting”, it’s “hope you know edge highlighting”

thinner paint for edge highlights, do each twice ;)

Yes, we hate edge hightliting.

Cool video dude. If you’re curious about the official gun casing recipe for Dark Angels, it’s this:

Basecoat: Mephiston Red
Shade: Khorne Red
Shade: Khorne Red & Black 1:1
Highlight: Evil Sunz Scarlet
Highlight: Squig Orange
Highlight: Squig Orange & White Scar 1:1

Eavy metal unfailingly looks clean and clearly defined. There are more creative styles but you can tell exactly what you're looking at and that has a value all of it's own.

I think they Eavy Metal team are very talented but I think visually it's one of the most boring styles to paint in

Always good to see this series, and after most of them, I really must have a go at these! Last model I painted was a B17 Airfix kit when I was 9, so long overdue!

lmfao that "LIKE THE DARK AN-" gag was excellent

Absolutely excellent! I'm getting back into 40K for the first time since my childhood, always interesting to see other people painting to such a high level!

bloody love this series simon keep it up
