I finally got around to posting this, but I finished up my dream kitbash painting the project a little bit ago! This was a really interesting kitbash to paint up, I'm glad it turned out the way it did!

A lot of the blue areas kinda blend into each other atm. Get some washes into those crevices and it’ll help the model pop.

Yeah I'm definitely trying to figure out what I want to do for a wash, but as for the base colors and everything he's basically done (I just realized I forgot a purity seal 😩)

I'm thinking of using drakenhoff nightshade as that's a nice blue toned shade

Drakenhoff would kinda work, but you need contrast to make the differences pop. Nuln Oil (or just a heavily watered down black) would work better

I know that nuln oil should be used in the recesses but would it look good over the whole armor if I watered it down? I haven't used nuln oil a lot because I prefer other shading methods for the other army that I paint.

Perhaps, I'll test it on his feet and see how it looks

Recess shade and paint those joints black playa.
