So...What have I been doing so far?
Well, first of all, I did undercoat a few marines with Uniform Grey and Skull White and went with what I had planned, ie spray for shadows and spray for highlights.
With that done, on both groups, I airbrushed a green layer (Snot Green (called Warpstone Green now).
Then, I tried a couple of things: various washes, various glazes, etc (won't enumarate everything here cause it's too much useless info) which ended up into several results. Some of them nice, some of them ugly.
One of my test was standing out but even if it was close to what I was looking for, it still wasn't exactly it.
So I stepped back and had a look at GW "How to" painting guides. Yes, you read right, the guides made by the evil guys. And I'll tell you what. I tried the way they were doing things and I ended up with exactly what I was looking for: something simple.
I've modified a little bit the method used by GW to help the mass production and the results were still up to my expectations so I'm going to give it a try or more minis to see if the results would be the same on multiple minis and then I think I'll start doing the rest
As for pics, I could put some pics of the various colors I ended up with, but not sure if it would be useful.
