Painting Armiger Helverins for my Ultramarines
This is my first project and I decided to show off, how I painted the Armiger Helverins to become a part of my Space Marines. The models will be painted blue to match the main color of my army. I want them to be seen as a part of that army. So here is what I am going for:
About the tools
Airbrush
-
Iwata Neo CN
-
Wiltec AS189
-
Cleaner
-
Flow Improver
-
Thinner
-
Water
My airbrush setup is cheap but exactly what I need. I am using this set since a year now and it does all I need so far.
Brushes
-
Winsor & Newton Series7 in 2, 3 and 4
-
Da Vinci Harbin Kolinsky in 1
-
Any drybrush
The Winsor & Newton Brushes I use are more expensive then the typical Army Painter and Citadel ones. But it turned out to be a good investment if one can take care. For the this project, I mainly use number 2. I switch to number 4 when it comes to the base and large areas on the model are painted with a number 3.
Tool specific settings
-
The pressure I use with all my paints while brushing is about 20 psi
-
The needle of the Iwata Neo CN has 0.35 mm
Look forward to seeing the various steps as it progresses. Very nice to see all the specific details about the brushes and the airbursh, very educational.
