A nice, meaty unit of six Demigryphs knights... just knight-less at this stage.
This one is more of a tutorial approach for how I paint my metals.
Silver:
Basecoat: Boltgun metal
Wash: Badab Black
Highlight: Boltgun metal
Highlight: Chainmail
Gold:
Basecoat: Tin bitz
Wash: Devlan Mud
Layer: Shining Gold
Layer: Burnished Gold
Wash: 1:1 Leviathan Purple + Gryphonne Sepia
Layer: 1:1 Shining Gold + Mithril Silver
It's quite a few steps for the gold, but well worth it I think. In my Empire Carroburg army usually gold is reserved for the Elite units and characters as a result. What I find this metal/gold combo does is for the gold to really "pop" off from the "darker" silver. I like that this adds a more weighty feel to the weapons and armour, whereas the mithril step, for me at least, is really an elven trait of metal with a cleaner and brighter finish of a highly polished effect which I've used at times in the case of the metal wizard and engineer on mechanical steed.
Gaz, hope this gives you a guide as to what I do.
