GuardianOfAsgaard posted:Thanks man. Yeah that's the cloak edging from the big Ultramarine transfer sheet. It was a bit fiddly yeah, but I use the Micro Sol softening solution to soften up my transfers when I apply them so they go onto uneven surfaces much easier. It's good for transfers over panel lines as well, makes them look painted on. Cool, I'm about to do Sicarius and will need to give his cloak some trim. Yeah that final edging is such a bore, but I've found Fenrisian Grey sticks to the brush so well that it's almost like dry brushing and actually way easier than that first run with Calgar that I assume you're using.

Below is one all about EXPLOSIONS. For real though, I've been thinking about how to run a proper genestealer cult list. The big problem I've run across is that any allies you run (the obvious choice is AM, but counts-as chaos could also work) are going to suffer under SotW. A psyker-free AM allied detachment isn't 100% as fluffy as I'd like it to be, but I just don't see psykers as being viable. The idea I had was a versatile army that uses its ranged firepower to lock down enemy mobility, then tears them apart up close. It's slow and fragile, but the hope is that target saturation and massed firepower should compensate. I'm still putting it together, but at the very least it's fluffy as hell. If I'm going to lose to build other peoples' narratives, imma do it in style dammit. 1850pt Genestealer Cult Combined Arms Detachment: Tyranids HQ Hive Tyrant (Genestealer Patriarch) 2x TLDWBLW 195pts w 2x Tyrant Guard 100pts Troops 8 Genestealers Broodlord 172pts 8 Genestealers Broodlord 172pts 8 Genestealers Broodlord 172pts 30 Hormagaunts (devolving cultists) Adrenal Glands 210pts Elites 3 Zoanthropes (Magus cult) 150pts 3 Zoanthropes (Magus cult) 150pts Allied Detachment: Astra Militarum HQ Lord Commissar (Infected Mayor/Politician) 65pts Troops Infantry Platoon (Infected PDF) Platoon Command Squad Vox Caster, Mortar 40pts 3x Infantry Squad Vox Caster, Flamer, Missile Launcher 75pts 2x Autocannon Team 75pts 29 Conscripts 87pts Fast Attack 3 Scout Sentinels (Civilian construction walker things) Autocannon 120pts Heavy Support 2 Hydras 140pts That's 144 models. It won't mean poo poo when they're all running off the board, but let me have my small victories. SurreptitiousMuffin fucked around with this message at 07:42 on Feb 18, 2016 |

I was going to say that should prove that it's just GW loving up a theoretically decent concept, although free points in theme forces are one of the most unbalanced things in WMH, too, so maybe it's just a terrible idea generally.

SurreptitiousMuffin posted:I bring Tyranids and I help develop other players' narratives. It depends how open you are to house ruling, I've got a genestealer cult that uses orks/guard for hybrid and 'human' forces. My group lets me play them as allies of convenience rather than desperate allies and it works pretty well for a low tech army.

Well you can do it with paint thinned down to a glaze consistency, or washes, inks, clear/ghost colors, etc. It's super neat and flexible. I just received my badger patriot airbrush and wanted to give the technique a try... but I promptly packed it into a moving box. Moving day is in less than a month and I don't want to make things any more complicated, but I'm itching to get stuff done after sitting on grey resin for years.

I guess I'm not understanding what the glaze adds at this point. So I do the 3 layers of prime(I assume Krylon from WalMart will do) then I use assumedly Guilliman Blue Glaze and then start my base coating? Guess I don't understand how my base coat isn't going to completely obscure any effect the Glaze has. So I'm understanding properly it will go as follows for my dudes: 1) Black Prime 100% 2) Grey Prime at 45-90 degrees 3) White Prime from top down 4) Add Guilliman Blue Glaze 5) 2x Base Cost Maccrage Blue 6) Wash Nuln Oil 7) Highlight Maccrage 8) Edge Calgar Blue 9) Edge Fenrisian Grey 10) Glaze again with Guilliman Blue?

Guess I don't understand how my base coat isn't going to completely obscure any effect the Glaze has. For the Zenithal highlighting effect to work you paint almost entirely with glazes/really thin layers including the basecoat. If you used normally thinned paint then the pre-shade would be completely covered, but by adding a medium (glaze/matt) in large quantities to the colours you paint then it'll tint the primed model to the colour of glaze giving you "free" shading and highlighting. Adding a medium just makes the paint translucent without thinning the consistency. You can then use a thinner glazed or non-glazed paint to do edge highlighting as normal. Normally you'd use a glaze to darken/tint an existing area or build up a colour gradually, in this case you're just tinting the primer.

I think it's best to watch it in action. ]This is a bit long but shows the concept fairly well. When he airbrushes the color on, that's the equivalent to the wash.

It's very, very likely that you'll get a totally different result from your other marines! Keep that in mind. Here's the same technique using blue. The process is pretty flexible; skipping the white just means that your darkest blue will look closer to your lightest one. Since you're applying the blue coats by brush though, you really are going to want to thin it down with something other than water. Lahmian Medium & generic medium equivalents. e. hahaha holy poo poo

Uroboros posted:When it says "washes" it simply means normal water mixed paints brushed on right? Not an actual GW wash. In the examples I did you can brush paint on (thinned down quite a bit), use a wash, or an airbrush. The only important thing is that this layer be thin enough to let the colors underneath through. Bunch of great advice in the thread from other painters as well. Uroboros posted:I guess I'm not understanding what the glaze adds at this point. So I do the 3 layers of prime(I assume Krylon from WalMart will do) then I use assumedly Guilliman Blue Glaze and then start my base coating? Guess I don't understand how my base coat isn't going to completely obscure any effect the Glaze has. I was also confused about this when I started painting. Think about it this way- the color you apply after the 3 Zenithal colors (your primer, basically) will become your basecoat. You do not need to put another coat ontop of it, although you certainly can. Your recipe looks more like this: Prime 1) Black Prime 100% 2) Grey Prime at 45-90 degrees 3) White Prime from top down Basecoat 4) Glaze with Maccrage Blue (Thin your paint 3:1 water:paint. If you have flow improver or gloss varnish you can put it in 2:1:1 water:flow aid:paint to help prevent pooling. OR you can mix in some Guilliman Blue 2:1:1 water:Guilliman Blue:Maccrage Blue). 5) If you want, you can wash with Guilliman Blue. This will modulate (tint) the color underneath, but you can skip this step if you like the color you get from step 4 6) Wash the shadows, and only the shadows, with Nuln Oil Highlight 7) If you want, you can drybrush highlight with Maccrage Blue here, but honestly you don't need it 8) Edge highlight Calgar Blue 9) Edge Highlight Fenrisian Grey 10) Drink some beer
