My Centauri fleet (Pics)

[spellscape]

Hi
Here is pics of mine Centauri fleet. There is not much painters in my town so your opinion is very valuable for me

Great work

Wow. I'm stealing your paint scheme for the Adira I have lying around... that scheme just dazzles the eyes.

How'd you do the purple?

 

[spellscape]

All fleet is done using only GW colours.
Liche Purple as base than wash with PVA+Water+Blue Ink then drybrush (only slightly Liche Purple + Skull White)
Gold is made by washing too

Good job spellscape!
I really like the Centauri symbol painted on the ships!

TNX - Im proud of them - NOT a single one ship have the same. I took them from centauri font.

Very nice. I like the high contrast between the grey-white and purple on the Primii.

 

[Greg Smith]

They look great. The grey-white on the Primuses is very cool.

Why do you use PVA in your washes?

 

[spellscape]

PVA gives higher surface tension and ink is more like to stay in deep lines only.
Greywhite -is my first attempt to blend

What I really like is the way that your fighters have come out. For such piddly little figures the detail is fantastic.

yep I do that too and add washing up liquid when I want something to spread more. About the only good thing I got out of working for GW
