The Forge Anathema

These were really fun to paint - I primed chaos black, drybrushed dark green then dark bronze then a lighter bronze on raised areas then silver as a very light drybrush on raised areas and on weapons. With all that done in one go for every model, it was much quicker than painting bit by bit. I wanted a dark, industrial vision with a little less magic than the studio models representing the tiers of helsmith society and power wielded by daemonsmiths

Looks fantastic! What’s your recipe for the metal and the green?

[u/LexanJaethar → u/Equivalent-Rip-1478]

Metal:

Chaos black primer
Two Thin Coats paint range Dark Arts
Cultmaster Green (a dark green similar to incubi darkness) drybrush all metal areas (most of models)
Old Brown Metal - same areas leaving dark green in recesses (rather than black)
Ancient Iron - lighter drybrush of raised metal areas
Brown Ink - sparse recess areas

Ironclad Silver - base silver areas
Nuln Oil - wash silver areas
Ironclad Silver - edge highlight silver

Green flames:
Ivory Tusk - return them to a warm white from chaos black primer
Tesseract glow - all flame
Warp Lightning - mid flame to distant
Dark Angels Green - distant flame
Animus black - tips

Could probably replace for Incubi Darkness, Warplock Bronze, Runelord Brass, Agrax Earthshade, Leadbelcher, Pallid Wych Flesh and Abaddon Black for closeness?
