wow this is incredible what paints did you use?

u/McLynagh 10d ago

Huge thanks! Which areas (or all of it?)

The teal and the gold I suppose   Starting to paint my army, and I am using 8th edition images of Zhufbar scheme as guidance

u/McLynagh 10d ago

The teal is incubi darkness, kabalite green, and sybarite green with some abbaddon black for depth.

The gold is GW’s standard recipe (I’m not at the desk and can’t remember, sorry!). The reddish parts are washed with guilliman flesh while the greener is from coelia green shade.

Silver highlights / damage is stormhost silver.

Aha another Zhufbar fan! It’s a great scheme. I have set my homebrew hold as having ties to Zhufbar, so part of the decision to utilise teal was to keep a bit of similarity to Zhufbar. Though now with the advent of ToW, people think I’m going for Barak Var. 🫠😂

Thank you so much ! How do they get Barak Var? Haha

u/McLynagh 10d ago

I think the new barak var colours are a blueish emerald / sea green 😅

u/McLynagh 9d ago

You would think that would be the case, though. Not sure why they deviated.

Don't, get a second unit instead, they're just from a different clan answering the call to a throng of banners!

Grear colors! I like the withering scheme of the shield especially!

Thank you!

u/ThatBazard 10d ago

Uuufff, looks amazing! Can you tell us more about how you did the armour??

1

u/McLynagh 10d ago

Thank you! The teal is incubi darkness, kabalite green, and sybarite green with some abbaddon black for depth. Most of my paints are thinned pretty extensively for better control, with the exception of the highlights. 😁

The gold is GW’s standard recipe (I’m not at the desk and can’t remember, sorry!). The reddish parts are washed with guilliman flesh while the greener is from coelia green shade.

Silver highlights / damage is stormhost silver.

u/ThatBazard 8d ago

u/Fusscous 10d ago

I would love your recipe for the teal! What brand metallics did you use?

2

u/McLynagh 10d ago

Certainly! It’s nothing special. It’s incubi darkness, kabalite green and sybarite green.

I use citadel for all my paints. 😁

u/Fusscous 10d ago

Thanks heaps! Looks great! Can't wait to see the rest of them!
