On the Wings of Ravens

The dual Ravenwing squad is done and done.

I have to admit that I was wary of using the dip on a black armoured model, but the squad turned out rather well.

The one new technique I tried this time around is how to highlight black armour.  I typically either went with dark gray to light gray dry-brush, or sometimes dark blue to white dry-brush, which works, but I the results were not satisfying. This time around, however, I tried medium blue and then bone to bring out the details. It worked better!  The blue gives the models some colour and the bone highlights are softer than white. When combined with the wash, the black armour has some great depth, pigment and details. And the best part is that I was able to use gray on the tires, which made them stand out from the bikes. I will definitely use this in the future.

The army is coming together nicely.  I can see the end of  the Dark Vengeance double box.  

Next up, I need a hero.
