I'm practicing Space Marine armour painting to paint my Space Hulk terminators. Here are three different techniques I tried:



They have varying levels of contrast and I've tried to find a technique that would allow me to paint all of the terminators (eight regular guys and four 'characters') in a few painting sessions. I'm not going to paint them all individually even though they would actually deserve that, so a quick batch painting method will be needed.

I don't play 40k, but painting these guys was so much fun that I'll probably buy some more Space Marines just for the fun of it.

The first one is the best and good luck with painting the terminators make sure to post pictures.

first and second are definitely the best.

I chose the first one to be used on the terminators. The second is OK too, but has more edge highlights and was a pain to paint without looking any better than the first one. The third has definitely too little contrast.
