Are you guys shaking your Strong Tone? I don't think I've ever had this described problem. As for fuzzy primer, I've only gotten burned once. It was on a pretty big conversion project, and I wasn't able to strip and re-prime because of the materials I'd used. So maybe I'm a bit over-cautious... I'll pick up a bottle of that air/brush-on one for rainy days.

I finally bought a bottle of Vallejo primer because I was tired of burning through all my regular black paint. Is this stuff supposed to be really, really light on pigment? I feel like I'm giving my stuff a really inefficient wash.

Make sure you shake the hell out of it. I've always had good coverage with Vallejo primer, but it separates in the bottle quite a bit.

It took me much longer than I'll ever admit to realise that the correct amount of yellow in a blonde hair recipe is none.

After a short break from Warmachine and minis painting I came back, bought a Stormwall and just finished painting it up. (Siege is there for size reference)    I painted the rim of the base shortly after taking the pictures. This was my first real attempt at basing (more than the usually dirt and rocks) and weathering.

Do any of you guys have suggestions on shelf racks that would let me get more space for miniatures stacked on a bookshelf?

Most hardware stores or big box stores sell modular shelving units. (Home Depot, lowes, Costco, Walmart, and kitchen supply houses.) What I did was buy three sets, and make two racks out of them. A typical unit is just shy of 6 feet and comes with five shelves. This gave me enough shelf pieces to have eight shelves for one and seven for the other. They cost around 70 bucks per five-shelf unit, so a little over 200 got me the setup I wanted.

Their guides have always been like that, even the published books The new paint range will slowly change that, but I don't think they've got direct replacements for everything yet Kind of like when they started making their own weathering powders and the guides all gradually got updated GW prime finally going all in with air brushing probably has a lot to do with their relationship with FW Skarsnik fucked around with this message at 12:11 on May 10, 2016 |

They use all sorts of interesting stuff, like breaking open a water filter to use all the balls inside as rivets

I think he's saying that regardless if the images are timg'd, they are still 4+ MB each, and have to load the weight of the entire image just to see a thumbnail. I'm guessing he's complaining about that fact? Most connections aren't going to see an issue, but slow (like my work PC) or mobile are going to take forever to load images.

lemonadesweetheart posted:Lovely piece. Really like your skin. Mind sharing the recipe? I'm going to do a bit of color-matching and guess-work here because I don't recall the exact colors I used here, but from what I remember: RMS Leather Brown, followed by successive layers of watered-down colors: RMS Intense Brown, RMS Earth Brown, RMS Dark Highlight, RMS Blackened Brown. These colors were thinned to an almost waterpaint consistency on a wet pallet and applied like a glaze, pulling downwards so that the colors ended up in the darker recesses. I then followed up with a highlight of Intense Brown to bring the color back up, and finally Leather Brown for the highest points. A lot of this I learned when I read this article on doing metallics, and I've been applying similar techniques for a while now, to some good results. For the most part I used the same style across the whole model, with the exception of the gold which got a normal wash and then a progressive series of highlights.
