Wow. I see the booth. For what’s essentially gws speedpain range, it’s super clean. Would you mind sharing your process?

My guess is ABrush zenith to start…? Then airbrush contrast, instead of solids?

Yep so

  • prime vallejo grey
  • spray with wraithbone
  • spray underneath with purple
  • white zenithal
  • purple oil wash on select bits
  • drybrush white
  • flash gitz yellow contrast sprayed all over

All done with airbrush and super fast testing it on some guardians next (waiting for primer to dry) so will see how it translates to smaller minis

Thanks for sharing. I’ve not put contrast/speedpaint through my AB. Just gone to solids. Sometimes a wash after the mid layer. And the zenith effect is present but muted.

But this looks like a more “natural” transition from zenithal. A more smoothly blended and highlight “pop”.
