i'm starting painting my first army in about 10 years this week for Equinox... (leaving it late I know)  I want to go for a Dragon prince theme, with snow bases to give them a darker feel.  I'm looking to paint a deep/rich green over a black under coat.  Any tips for base layer, highlights etc?  Wink

Don't use black, use a dark grey, then use a black wash to highlight deeper crevasses

Are you after a glossy look? There used to be a green ink that would have done that nicely. I don't know what you can get to do that now.
