Guthwine,
This is the second attempt to leave a reply as the first got lost in the ether as I navigated between tabs trying to get the name of some Eureka models correct.
What the heck were you talking about, those Swordsmen are ready to Ginsu (tm) their way through any and all opponents and to look stylish while doing so.
Regarding tinting metallic paints, there are really only two methods that I have found which work well:
1. Paint metals as normal, ie oily steel, chainmail and mithril highlight and then use a "magic wash" (4 to 1 Future and ink) Or simply some of the new GW washes, this takes some trial and error as the strength (depth?) of the tones of the various washes is highly variable.
2. Purchase a pearlizing medium, which is essentially a silvery metallic in a binding solution. The tone of the metallic is set by what color you add to the medium. This allows for some very interesting tints and colors but takes a little practice to get right.
Also, I just noticed your White Lion Chariots, wowsers they kick arse! You did an excellent job on the green stuffing of the lions.
A quick question for you: Do you know if the Eureka Not White Lions, ermm I mean HE Reavers with axes are in scale enough to place on the Chariots as riders?
