I'm curious what people's opinions are on painting black 6mm minis, particularly infantry, although tanks apply as well. Specifically for ulthwe and black legion. Regular colors I do base coat; a wash, and if I'm feeling frisky a highlight but black at that scale is difficult imo. Any thoughts? Let me know what to use and in what order thanks!

These are some of my Black Legion. 1) Base coat with a medium grey 2) Wash with black from GW washes or do your own black wash 3) Dry Brush with shades of grey from dark to light until you get the desired color

I did the black on my Red Corsairs by priming in black, then doing a series of drybrushes, getting progressively lighter P3 Coal Black > P3 Meredius Blue > P3 Frostbite Generally I followed the rule that adding blue to your black highlight colour gives a cold, hard feel, whereas adding green can give a slimy, oily feel here's a shot of a stand of chaos marines with the drybrushing done

For my Ravenwing I did: - Black Basecoat - Thin layer of 50-50 black and GW Fortress Grey covering about 75% of the model - Highlight of GW Fortress Grey

I don't have many infantry examples, but i am currently painting some inf the same style ive been doing tanks: Black -> P3 coal black -> vallejo silver-grey (without washing the brush after the coal) -> vallejo silver-grey -> tiny bit of white (i should probably do more white extremees) very sensative to different lighting:

My biggest suggestion is to pic a base scheme that also contrasts well with the black scheme |
