space marines (ultramarines) painting help!!!

**dankdrummer** · 9th February 2012 22:25

hello all!! just bought a space marine librarian in terminator armour, i really wanted to paint it so i've given it a shot, i will up load rough pics of it tonight,

but i was wondering if anyone knew what color i should use to highlight?

i started with the basecoat blue color from GW and then did armour highlights with enchanted blue after many highlights and many washes i finally like the armour and moved to the cloth and other pieces.

any help would be awesome!!!

What colour to use as a highlight for what? The blue? I find that adding a small amount of Space Wolves grey to any blue shade will bring it up to a highlight very nicely indeed.

Not a bad idea.... Although I don't know why it won't let me just post my picture through the comment.......kinda lame

Are you uploading using the Attachment option? That normally works, or Photobucket.

I use Flickr myself, but from a Mac, you can upload an attachment by using the "Go Advanced" button

Bit blurry, but certainly a good start. Nice vibrant blue you've got there.

As a hint for posting up the pics, have a look at that post where it just posted 2 links to each photo. If you read through the coding of where you tried to put in the image, select the bit where it says img src'"http://...........jpg" and just copy and paste that bit of it - i.e. the bit in the between the " after it says 'img src='. That's the part you need to put between the [img ] codes. That's how I post from Picasa, and I'm another Mac user. But it looks like you've got it sorted out now anyway.
