[MODEL] Need help painting plastic chaos BFG cruisers

[Alistair Hutton]

I have just casually agreed to paint up a couple of a friend's BFG
chaos cruisers. I'm just wondering how other people have painted the
sides/undersides of the ships because I'm looking at them and seeing a
big mass of jutting bits.

My colour scheme at the moment is dark blue and gold.

I've been painting a whole fleet of Nurgle cruisers green (dark angels and
highlighted with snot green) with orange/yellow dots (here and there for
windows and lights) with copper and gold turrets and masts... they look
pretty keen....

All Hail Nurgle

Without seeing the model, I'd say go for a nice thick drybrush, sucka!

These really stand out on the table and look perfectly Chaos....I painted
mine a basecoat and primer of black. I then took Scorpion Green and
drybrushed the 'web' portion of the ships, making it look like green
energy flowing over the ship. The gun barrels I painted in Blood Angels
red, and the bridge I painted again in Scorpion Green. They stand out like
you wouldn't believe on a black table and came out better than I could
have imagined with only about 5 minutes of drybrushing and 20 minutes of
detailing.

Here, Here finally someone with taste "bad but taste none the less". NURGLE
RULES!!!!!

I painted my fleet in Nurgleish fashion as well. I started out with a black
undercoating. Followed by a heavy dark green dryrbush, then layered on another
drybrush of off white. Covered the whole thing in green ink, and then another
light drybrush of a greenish blue. i used a steelish color for the metal bits
(guns and whatnot) and a little black lining. They came out killer. Another
cruiser i tried a simple conversion with. I took lots of the spikey bitz from
the 40K plastic dark Eldar and added them to my ship. looks killer as well. I
might just go and take a few pics of them to put up for other to see :)

Not really. Unfortuanly, they look exactly like what you said, they got
drybrushed any color.

If you want them to look good, you have to pick them out. Drybrushing just
doesn't look that great (too many brush marks)
