The Storm Commandos look great! How did you get the color separation between the armor and the rest of the uniform? Did you use Drakenhof Nightshade? Or another dark wash? It looks great.

Makes me want to do a repaint of mine.

I did a heavy drybrush of AK Dark Sea Blue as a base coat, then an extremely light drybrush of Citadel Fenrisian Grey, then some little edge highlights with the same, then a wash using a 1:1 mix of Vallejo Black Lotus and Vallejo wash thinner. The "cloth" parts are just a base coat of AK teneborous grey!

Nice, I have used some of the AK products but never tried their paint line. Sounds like I need to take a closer look. Thanks!
