Progress continues! The goal for today is to at least get started with edge highlighting of the blue armor. Which means just finishing the last few base colors (the red wax for purity seals and the few gold bits, laurel wreath and few other sergeant doodads), gloss coating and washing the mini. Then the real fun begins. Ideally I'll actually get these guys all the way done today.

My daughter was sick yesterday so I got to spend the better part of a Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood marathon removing the flashing and mounting my Intercessors. All that's left is the helmets and adding bits of shell to the bases and then I can start on priming.

Managed to knock out most of these tonight. Took a couple of attempts to get some of the poses I wanted. Really tried to push how reckless these guys are compared to my vanguard.

Taking advantage of how cheap this Moon Base Klaisus terrain is to experiment a bit, since I've never painted scenery before.  I'm not sure I like the super dirty look I got with a liberal wash of Agrax, but pin washing terrain would take a stupid amount of time...

I tried a half-assed gloss spray (Vallejo) to experiment, wasn't very thorough with it. What oil would you recommend? Unless you mean thinning some Nuln oil with medium?

No, actual oil paints. Mix up some castle black, burnt umber, and white spirits and then wash it on. The glossier you get the varnish first the more the oils will flow into the crevices.

Intriguing, never heard of those. Something like this, thinned with white spirits and slapped on a glossy coat then? https://www.pk-pro.de/W-N-WINTON-OeL-Burnt-Umber-37mL_1

Ayn Marx posted:Intriguing, never heard of those. Something like this, thinned with white spirits and slapped on a glossy coat then? Exactly that, yes. Oil paints provide some interesting effects on miniatures. Thinning it to a wash-like consistency, applying it slap-dash onto a model, and wiping most of it off lets you 'tint' the color they're going over. It can really bring a color from a bright tone to a more muted one, not dissimilar to a glaze. You can also have more control over it through pin washing, which is just adding it to crevices and letting capillary action do the work for you. Also, you can apply the oil paint as-is and then add white spirits to it and pull down, creating weathering/rust streaks for that old, worn look. Oil washes are more forgiving too, as you can clean it off using white spirits and just start over again until you get it to how you like it. Just note that it can take a while to dry, depending on how thin you made it and how much was applied. Give it a few hours before you go and put another layer of varnish on top to seal it in as once you do that, there's no real way of going back.

I see. Thanks to both of you, I'll order a few of those oil paints to mess around with on cheap terrain.

Went to watch Deadpool 2 and did not get nearly as far as I'd hoped. Did get the dudes gloss-coated and one marine's armor washed at least. Also got the bases ready for a wash.

Livsgard, or have I totally forgotten my flags for the GNW? I should really finish up my 6mm stuff: I have enough unpainted Swedes, Russians, and Polish minis to run through some of the major clashes, but it’s hard to keep the energy up, even when the finished product looks cool.

 Most people look at 5 hours of progress and see painted models. I look at 5 hours of progress and see plastic models that have been primed a slightly lighter gray. Oh well. My average of about an hour of prep per model continues. Flashing is removed, the Sergeant with his custom power sword and grenade launcher is done, and everything was primed with my new Badger 105. I really like it; it seems a lot more robust than my Krome Renegade and is definitely more suited for the bulk work I'm doing. I could see myself using the Krome for more detail work if I ever get good enough to do that.

Progress continues.  This last squad will take the most effort as 7 of its dudes had no paint on them at all. Thankfully by this point I've got a pretty decent workflow going with them, and can take that on to the other 20 guardsmen and 15 Stormtroopers I need to do to bring this army up to 2000 points.

Decided to give a colored steel look a try on the Farstriders for Shadespire. It’s Vallejo Metal Color Dark Aluminum mixed with liquitex Phthalocyanine Green Ink which is a fancy way to say a blue-shaded green, over gloss black primer. I’m really happy with the way it turned out as a mid-tone, now I just need to shade and highlight it without losing the color. edit: needs another layer or two! It's very thin.

Question about Ghost Tints. Painting up some orcs I used a zenithal prime then ghost tint green. I’ve found that where the ghost tint hit the armour vallejo metal colour is going on really patchy. Should I have masked the armour first? Subassembly wasn’t really an option with the pushfit models.

Cleaned this guy up. My first 75mm. Used a heat gun to straighten the handle on the hammer. You wouldn't believe how easy a heat gun at 350 is to fix a warped resin piece. I think if you're dealing with enough warped minis, this is a must-have tool. Much easier than hot water + cold water combo.  Primed him up with Stynylrez that I picked up a 6 pack for cheap to check it out. I prefer it over my Vallejo already. You can tell it is far more scratch resistant after a single coat. Black is coming out of the airbrush fantastic, the white is a bit thicker but still didn't need to thin, just needed to clear the tip a few times. Laid down some brown for the leather side. Practiced more glaze blending with a 32mm base Painted it brown, then mixed up a darker glaze at various water-y ness and did some lines over themselves with various stages of my brush being wet to almost dry to get a more of a feel on glazing. It's something I just do, but I've never spent time analyzing it on a flat base onto flat colors. I just never seemed to have the time to dick around; so I made time. I am happy I did. I think I can handle tattoos when the time comes. Philthy fucked around with this message at 15:37 on May 21, 2018 |

I absolutely love the Badger primer. I still have the Vallejo stuff but haven't had a reason to even think about it. Maybe I'll use it for terrain or something, or a display board.
