For this tutorial we’ll be showing you how we paint the black armour for our Blood Angels army. We’ll be using a Death Company Marine for this tutorial but you can follow the same steps for any unit you’d like to have black armour. Lets get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Paints used<\/strong>:

Black Primer
Army Painter Matt Black<\/a>
Corvus Black<\/a>
Mechanicus Standard Grey<\/a>
Dawnstone<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n


Equipment used:<\/strong>

H&S Evolution AL Plus Airbrush<\/a>
Windsor and Newton Series 7 Size 0 Brush<\/a>

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.<\/strong> After undercoating with a Black Primer basecoat the model with Army Painter Matt Black.
2.<\/strong> Using Corvus Black give all of the armour panels a chunky edge highlight. This should be purposfully thicker than a normal edge highlight so don’t worry if you’re not too precise.
3.<\/strong> Edge highlight the armour panels using Mechanicus Standard Grey. This highlight should be thinner than the previous one to create a natural blend between the grey highlights and the black base colour.
4.<\/strong> Edge highlight the upper, more prominent, areas of the armour panels with Dawnstone.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that the armour’s all finished. Now all that’s left to do is paint the rest of the details and your model will be ready to hit the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
