Hey guys so i'm in need of some advice. I have paint scheme for my marines that uses washing to get to different colors, and i don't use extreme highlights. So i have to paint white arms and helmet for my vets. Now my problem is getting it to look natural on my models without being too bright and clean.
to give you the low down, my color scheme is half red and half black. I get to the black by painting adeptus battle grey (base), Codex Grey (drybrush), then 3 washes of Badab black. The red is Mechrite base, Blood red (Drybrush), and Devlin Mud wash. so the colors are toned down and weathered.
I was thinking about a brown base and lighter shades of flesh then up to white dry brush? or possibly start white, wash then drybrush back up to white. Any suggestions for a milder white?
