Painting the Squad: Armour and Shoulder Guards
November 2005·pp. 52–53
THE SHORT VERSION
The fast finish leaves much of the black undercoat visible and uses restrained grey drybrushing before flat detail colours. White shoulder pads can be built over Shadow Grey or painted separately from a white start. A later stage replaces broad drybrushing with fine grey edge lines so the armour remains clearly black. The illustrated excessive highlight warns that too much grey changes the whole character of the scheme.
