Guest Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Ordered the Minotaurs special characters via FW. One of which, the chappy, has choice of void hardened armor or a jump pack. I want the armor, as I don't want the bulky rule on this model. Took me a bit, but I found the rules for the armor. Void Hardened armor isn't really armor, but more a durability coating on the armor that makes it harder to move in and more safe in the void of space. How should I paint it on? Not really looking to convert, given that I'm buying a FW model, so painting suggestions? Freehand is fine. Can't seem to find images on google regarding this.

WestRider Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 I would focus on doing something different on the joints, where Power Armour has flexi stuff to allow freer movement. Something like if you normally paint those black, do them in metal, say, or something similar to make it look like the joints and seals have been reinforced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadaver2k Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Make it shiny around the edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Hmm...perhaps glossy black instead of normal chappy black? I do like your suggestion too, westrider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonVilkee Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 This should prolly be in artificier forge... On topic I'd play around with paint on gloss varnish. I'm assuming you typically matte varnish so paint the model normal then afterwards go back with lines of gloss varnish along the edges. It world give an effect of a different coating than the rest of the army with out turning the chappy into a ball of Shiney. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PourSpelur Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 You could try to ghost tint a metallic over the black too. I like purple but that's just because I like purple;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
