ijyt posted:Gloss > Matte > Gloss is fine yeah. Be careful when spraying the matte on the grass as that likes to frost up. the gloossy section didn't go matt enough, so I just added more flock ontop and it did the job - I was worried it would shine through, but no such issue so far.

Those 15mm have an amazing style, I'm not sure what they're for, but I'd love to have a fantasy army painted like that. So I finally came up with an idea for my oversized and armoured coal hopper, but I want to know if there's any glaring issues with the concept sketch or something I missed. The army theme is ecclesiarchy sisters of battle, and the only thing I can think of is to turn the coal hopper into a giant (it's 8-1/4"x3.5" by 4" tall) vertical grav tank/transport for an inquisitor and retinue. I'd figure the inquisition would have the resources and know-how to cruise around in something so bizarre and obviously old. This is going to be stupidly tall, but I think it'll be really kinda intimidating/cool looking. Maybe? Sketch for my ideas of additions:  It'll need some sort of "repulsor drive" or ports on the underside, but I was mostly trying to get an interesting shape I can work around. (I've flipped this thing around for every possible orientation) The actual thing as it currently is:  I was going to post pictures of the "finished" exorcists but I keep coming up with stupid little additions after taking photos. The last was a full set of field kit tools after taking "finished" photos.

I've got my Frostgrave warbands assembled and I'm very happy with how they're turning out. The top crew are obviously very inspired by GW Chaos using the Gaunt Summoner and Chaos Sorcerer from Warhammer Quest as Illusionist Wizard and Apprentice, the warband is a mixture of barbarians, cultists and halfbreed gnolls. Pointy-hat crew are Chronomancers, I used an Empire Wizard kit to get a pair - one with an astronomy globe staff and the other with a converted hour-glass. The Wizard's pointy hat has carried over to his warband:  I'm looking for interesting colour combinations! I think the Illusionist needs to be Tzeentch-style bright turqoise and pink. For the Chronomancers I'm thinking of muted greys, whites and terracotta. Thoughts?

Arcturas posted:That's awesome. How bright is it if you turn on a blacklight in addition to normal light? It Illuminates enough to be noticeable, but the blacklight source needs to be pretty close. In the photos, the light is about 6" away. Also, the paint I used isn't my usual UV reactive since I had no fresh blue, and it's definitely less reactive.

Has anyone figured out a good way to knock out a lot of 28mm World War II British Infantry to a decent tabletop level speed painting style? When I say "speed painting", I mean something like what I did with these Poxwalkers: They're basically primed grey, basecoated in a mixture of Dead Flesh / Pale Flesh, washed with greens and browns, had their other colours picked out and washed, then based. I think the whole unit took me 4-6 hours. I've been experimenting with basecoating my Brits with Vallejo's British Uniform, picking out details and flesh, washing with Agrellan Flesh and then basing but it doesn't look good at all. Something needs to be done differently and I can't figure out what.

Gonna throw up my WIP against the thread regulars cause there's some loving beautiful models here. But I'm slowly plodding along with my first test model for my Combined Army scheme:  Gonna do a very dark grey-black for the armour and I'm leaning towards a bright blue/turquoise for the plasma venting and eyes as a contrasting colour. I've also learned I'm a really messy painter.

Thread, meat Ruhnald - the Barbarian Man at Arms      As you can see, he has taken the Elk as his totem. It is his mission in life to emulate the Elk in strength, speed and agility and so, has taken the spear and shield as his preferred weapons. He's what you'd call a more 'traditional' member in the warband. Seeking to be an example to others as just what one can achieve through dedication to one's craft and one's Tribe.

When I say "speed painting", I mean something like what I did with these Poxwalkers: I know it's looked down upon a lot in the painting community, but a modified dip method is a great way to get rank and file done quickly. Sorastro has a good guide for Zombicide models - he compares it to other wash methods and shows why it works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMOTmOchKyQ FYI Minwax Polyshades are a much cheaper alternative to the Army Painter stains.

What's consideres the "best" airbrush colours these days? I have a few of Vallejo air, but since I'm starting a new army and need new colours I wouldn't mind changing. I hear Styleinzieriz is the best primer, are the rest of the Minitaire colours also good? They have some spot on colours for Fists I think, so that would be nice.

I like Vallejo Game Air and Model Air a lot. Reaper paints are awesome because they're versatile enough for brush painting but still very thin and work great in an airbrush (I've been doing a lot of airbrush basecoating w/ Reaper HD and have 0 issues). I really want to like the scale75 paints but I find them a lot harder to work with. They're great for brush but they have a tendency to get gummy in my airbrush which makes after-paint cleaning a real pain in the rear end. Some of the colors are really great though. I use the Vallejo primers too and have no complaints.

I have the Badger Minitaire paints, and they differ wildly in quality imo. The base airbrush layers in yellow might be fine, but I wouldn't try to use them with a brush. The greys are pretty solid though.

Speaking of airbrushing, where and how do you guys mix your paints? I have a top-fed airbrush and both mixing in the brush's hopper and mixing in a container and then pouring have their downsides. If I mix in the hopper, there will inevitably be some thicker gunk at the bottom, and if I mix in a container (especially if I'm mixing a smaller amount) it seems like most of it will just stay in the container when I pour.

I've trying my first Pox Boy. Here's my wip.  Any tips or things you think I should think about tweaking? I don't have a green shade so I went with my green glaze on the buboes, but mixing that and the purple on the open sores I feel like I'm starting to get a little more Slaanesh than Nurgle with the clashing vibrant colors.

If you want, you could try using a red or pink wash around the boils, to give it the look of an angry infection, maybe? Also, are torn trousers the GW equivalent of a fig leaf now? :P

For Airbrushing: Best Primer: Badger Stynelrez Best Paints: Literally anything. Just buy Vallejo Flow Improver. Ta-da, any minature acrylic paint you want now goes through your airbrush. I've got, and use Citadel, P3, Vallejo model and Game colour, Minitare, Reaper, and now (my favourite line) Scale 75. They're all fine, and have their own uses. But seriously. Buy Vallejo flow improver. It's Airbrushing made easy.
