The is a Primer Spray called Plate Mail Metal. Which is brighter then Boltgun metal. if you after this apply a (or more) layer of wash your marines will not look that dark, it would be a better way for silver skulls or other more bright chapters.<br /><br />If you have any questions just contact me via my blog ..<br /><br />Best,<br />Captain Neven aka GewaltatronGewaltatronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00379117452534287544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4280953225294526143.post-65763191961285822492010-03-09T21:25:17.508-05:002010-03-09T21:25:17.508-05:00That is true about metallics.That is true about metallics.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09367999667733644558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4280953225294526143.post-16592554021462079422010-03-09T11:49:35.754-05:002010-03-09T11:49:35.754-05:00My chapter (Iron Templars) is also boltgun for the...My chapter (Iron Templars) is also boltgun for the main armor like the silver skulls, but I have gold on the shoulder armour instead of black/dark blue. <br /><br />The worst part about boltgun for the armor is that I don't think it highlights well. I never can get it right, so I don't highlight it unless I have a really sharp edge, and then I use mithril silver.Johnnoreply@blogger.com
