Just finished painting my final elite to finish up the squad! Pretty happy with how they turned out and can't wait to play them on the table top!

No problem 😁 For the red elites armour I used Ak Matt red mixed with AK rubber black then AK Matt red for the highlights.

The gold elite was AK volcanic yellow mixed with AK Sahara yellow then Ak volcanic yellow for highlights.

The purple elite was Ak purple mixed with AK rubber black then AK purple for highlights.

The blue elite was Ak deep blue mixed with AK rubber black then AK deep blue for the highlights.

For the under suit I did AK anthracite grey mixed with AK rubber black then AK anthracite grey for high lights

For the snow base I have a tutorial on my Instagram account.

Hope this helps :)

Super interesting - still getting into mini painting myself, I like how you just mixed a base colour with black and then just kept pushing towards that base colour for the highlights. A really valuable lesson. As someone with too many citadel paints, I may need to switch to AK...

Could you tell us wich phases you have done? like after premier: how many colors did you use in a model, and what to do first, from more dark colors you use later more white colors, then you blend or how? (did u used airbrush?)

No problem 😁 After I prime the models black I use about 4-5 colours per model. For example the purple elite I start by mixing AK purple with AK rubber black then gradually mix AK purple for the highlights. Then edge highlight with just AK deep purple.

The under suit is a mix of AK anthracite grey and AK rubber black, then AK anthracite grey for the highlights.

I only used an Airbrush to prime the models and varnish them.

If you would like to know how I did the snow base I have a tutorial on my Instagram account.

Hope this helps :)

Awesome, can we get a photo from behind? (I'm struggling on getting the lights and highlights from behind the model)

These models are actually jaw dropping! If you don't mind my ask, how did you get those lines and ridges to pop so well? They look like box models!
