Began cleaning up the skin on my ogre. Tried increasing the highlights since the glazing lost me some of the contrast I had before. Pretty happy so far but stuff looks pretty bad so zoomed in. This photo is more representative of what he looks like from afar.  Thinking about painting his trousers a dark green but I'm open to suggestions since I'm bad at colour theory!

You might want to swap the metallic Model Color paints for Vallejo Metal Color, which people seem to like a lot better (or Scale75 metallics, but they probably won't be in your shop). You could also grab VMC Deck Tan (for highlights/mixing) and maybe swap VMC Red for VMC Carmine Red, depending on what you're looking for (the former is a warm red and the latter is a cool red, though they're about the same brightness otherwise). Also, here is my list of especially-good paints for people to try out: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=0&threadid=3705692&perpage=40&pagenumber=109#post451418381 (as usual, more recommendations are appreciated!)

WIP on the Kingdom Death Flower Knights. Going for Autumnal colours. The robe is done for now, and right now working on the nmm armour. Shades are done, next will be highlights before going back in to add some more shades to build the contrast and depth of colour.

What do goons use for oranges/reds manufacturer wise? I'm looking for a matte orange, like a mid to pale tone. I normally use VMC or S75 but I'm drawing a blank on my options. E: Looking at them, Kalahari and Mars Orange for S75 seem quite nice, has anyone here used these? Flipswitch fucked around with this message at 21:48 on Sep 26, 2016 |

Anyone know where to get some ancient Greek marching figures that are 28mm or slightly bigger? Warlord has just about the size I need, but they all seem to be in fighting stances (Spears lowered, swords drawn, running, etc.) Basically, I'm looking for the Greek equivalent of these guys. But I'm guessing they probably don't exist.

drat, I'd forgotten entirely about Victrix. Because these http://www.victrixlimited.com/collections/cartheginians will make things much easier, actually. I've have an elephant figure for years that is just about the right scale (probably too big, but whatever), and I'm kicking about the idea of making a Hannibal crossing the Alps diorama.

So this isn't strictly Valhallan related, although it is for their table! I've been bad about working on my Skullingrad table, but just today I finished working on a big centrepiece building with a hab block. I used the Pegasus gothic kit, plus a bunch of GW bits, Cities of Death short walls, some O scale resin accessories, and an old GW movement tray to put the whole thing together. Anyway, here's the finished hab block, or as I call it, Barbie's Grimdark Dreamhouse:     Roof details:  A long dead sniper:  A meter outside for the power company to read:  And some action shots for good measure:

Matte sealing spray dulls out my sparkly golds making my sigmarines look a bit less cool. Is there a good option for protecting them that won't dull the gold metallics?

Are you putting gloss varnish on first? If not, that might help, especially since it might let you use less matte to get good coverage. Otherwise, the only things I know of that you can do are to try other brands of matte or just paint your highlights over the varnish and hope they won't rub off too much.

How risky is it to not use a sealer and, instead, aim for moving the models by their bases or some-such? Is that doomed to sadness?

It's not too bad with plastics, but I like the fact that with varnish, I don't have to worry about it (or about other nerds getting their grubby paws on my little dollies).

From what I've read, the extremes are varnish like hell and who cares, they're game pieces, or on the other side you don't use varnish and you don't even use a primer because it's a display model. The middle road is just enough of a good varnish to protect but not to glaze.

They're plastics, so long as you aren't violently manhandling them they'll be fine. The bases are there for them to be picked up by - when I was a kid I even had a ruleset named after this practice. Unless you're using transfers, you don't need to varnish plastics at all. The Sex Cannon posted:I made a Yarrick! Hell yeah you did. Such a great mini.

Use a semigloss sealer on the metallic areas, mask them off with painters tape when they dry, then do your matte spraying. You should be putting down a semi/gloss coat first anyways, since matte sealers are very thin and more for aesthetic than actual protection.

A couple people I know recommended using a paint on gloss over the metallics and a paint on matte over the other parts. I might give that a shot as my next test. Here are the stormcast I'm working on. I decided to switch from the silver to a more traditional gold. I just liked the results I was getting with the gold a lot more. I used water FX on the bases to tie them into my battle board. GreenMarine fucked around with this message at 15:56 on Sep 29, 2016 |

I said it in the mad thread, but unless you want your Sigmarines to look like they have candy paint, gloss varnish probably isn't what you want.

There may be no good solution. Another possible alternative: matte varnish the shoulder pads (where the decals are and where I might pick them up from) and then leave the rest. Try to pick them up from the bases. For prosecutors I can probably paint matte onto the non metallic parts of the wings, since the wings tend to knock into things.

I have a quick question regarding paints: specifically Army Painter's Army Green. Is it a good Olive Drab colour? It seems like it would be but I've not really had a chance to do much comparison and I'd like to know before I grab a spray of it.

I think it's actually a light pastel green, which world great for base coating WW2 US Army uniforms but will look strange on tanks. See if you can find the ultra-flat OD green they sell at hardware / auto parts stores for hunters. I think it's labeled as Krylon special purpose ultra-flat. It's probably closer to what you want, and it'll take acrylic paint well. E: This stuff, I recommend Olive. moths fucked around with this message at 19:42 on Sep 29, 2016 |

If it were me, I'd gloss then matte varnish the whole surface and do another quick highlight coat with your gold on the areas you really want to pop. Then your model is mostly-protected, but you'll still have the shininess you want. By doing it this way, you'll still have the paintjob under the varnish if the top layer of gold rubs off, so it won't look too bad (and you could always re-highlight with gold if you ever feel like it got really bad, but I doubt that would be necessary).

This is the best way to do it, or do a satin varnish if you can find one. Also they're plastic so I don't think they need to be sealed in the first place unless children are throwing them around. I just recently finished the last 5 Stormtroopers to round out my Ground Assault Formation. Unfortunately I lost the gold recipe so they're slightly different than the other 30, but they should blend in well enough:       And here's the whole Ground Assault Formation! I've been running it for a while, but now it's at maximum strength:  Command:  Plasma team:  Melta team:  Flamer team:  Trucks:   And with that, my Stormtrooper project is done!

The models that fall into that category are the Wet Nurse (which I own and have painted), and perhaps the Lion God. Given I have the game, and a good number of the expansions, there is indeed body horror, but rape monsters, nay.
