I'm sorry that my asking about which legion the dark mechanicus most likes to rub dicks with apparently bothered people? It seemed to me to be a pretty decent fluff question and wasn't really connected to any plans or modeling ideas.

So I'm about to paint up some models in a Black Legion scheme, and I'm wondering about airbrush shortcuts for models that do the gold filagree thing (e.g the gold on black for BL or the gold on blue for 1k Sons); will it save any time to prime black, use masking fluid on the armor, and then spraying the gold? I had the thought that it would be easier/faster to use masking fluid, since getting a bit of that on the gold is maybe easier to fix than getting black on the gold if I hand painted the armor.

Prime in gold, paint in black. Be careful. If you do gently caress it up, I personally find it easier to scrape the black off and then repaint gold on bare plastic. For tiny gently caress-ups. For major gently caress-ups try not to do that. EDIT: you said airbrushing, please disregard. Strobe fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Nov 12, 2018 |

Do your black + highlights with your airbrush then paint in the gold edging by hand. If you're going to use masking fluid (either way) you're better off just painting the details in rather than adding in yet another paint step for very little gain.

Yeah, that all makes sense, but I was assuming I could be a lot sloppier with the masking than I could with actual paint (since I'm pretty sure I can just remove it with one of my silicone greenstuff/sculpting tools)

Just do the 90 degree brush edge on the trim for speed and the touch up any mistakes with thinned black.

most of the DG schemes in the Codex are one of those two, unfortunately, with some going for a deeper/more vibrant green, more verdigris'd bronze, etc. The one exception I can recall off the top of my head is Glooming Lords, who have black armor with metallic green edging

I'll probably just stick with the normal scheme.. Kinda, since I don't use GW paints. I got a bottle of Thrall Skin from P3 and a Reaper Undead Skin Triad that seems like they should work as close-but-not-quite DG Green. Washing my models in Sewer Water will seem more appropriate when I start on these...

This is good, though, since I'm still working through my Guardsmen KT.

Hey thread, I tried out the new Ork codex in a 1000 point game against my buddy and I scored a solid victory. Death Skulls Kultur was the MVP, it was a fun game overall. My forces: (Death Skulls) 2x Warboss (My Warlord had the +1 Toughness WT and Supa Cybork Body to make him Ded Ard) 30 Boyz with Slugga/Choppa 24 Boyz with Shoota 10 Gretchin 10 Burna Boyz in a Trukk 7 Lootas 1 Deff Dread with 2 Klaws and 2 Skorchas His forces: (Drukhari) 3 Patrols of vehicles holding things that didn't like being charged by 30 Boyz

I just needed a way to describe that approach in contrast to the other approach I've seen of "Feel like you need a tetanus shot just looking at it". They're equally valid approaches for a faction like Death Guard, and those examples look boss.

alpha legion plague marines might be a different way to do death guard. Cleaner metallic blue armor with some chain and scale iconography, but still all the gross stuff hanging out.

Am I the only one who hates the off shoulder pad of the Deathwatch? It takes an otherwise quite nice colour scheme and turns them into this messy paint factory of colours. I really wanted for a while to do the Primaris Company of Deathwatch, i.e Cawl just sends them 100 newly-minted Primaris, but couldn't decide what that shoulder should look like in that case.

Yeah, fair. The other option was to paint them all in the colour of a Chapter, with Deathwatch pads - Thematically being an entire Company from Chapter X donated to the Deathwatch, who fight together. Think like the Ultramarine Tyranid Hunters - A sort of... fraternity within an existing Chapter; Some kind of... Warrior Lodge, if you will.

In one of the novels they talk about the un-chaptered primaris having a blank gray shield emblem or something like that until they get assigned to a chapter.

I'm getting my freebooters orks put together, lots of conversion bitz. Planning some vehicle conversions too. I'm struggling to think of exactly how I want to handle the paint scheme. The codex has freebooters as kind of a combination of red & blue, which I was going to go with originally, but that feels like it'll just look like a mix of evil sunz and deathskullz. The codex also mentions that they wear garish colors, which red and blue are bright and primary but garish? Its not really clear. Freebooters are a combination of clanless orks, so it could do to have a mix of red, blue and yellow painted orks, amongst the green and brown. But then I feel like it may be an issue on the tabletop? A unifying color might be nice, especially if I end up playing against an ork force that is red or blue. My dudes are going to have all kinds of conversions, so that should help them stand out already, but help me figure out what color to go with? Thoughts: Pirate colors - red and gold? black and gold? black and white? Garish unusual ork colors - maroon? purple? I think maroon could look really good contrast against the green skin, but I'm not sure if I could paint it just right. I like the idea of using gold and silver to show wealth, but I need a bright color besides green to uniform my army with. Red & Blue & Black sound good but it feels like they're all taken by Evil Sunz, Deathskullz, and Goffs respectively. Hm. I do kinda like the idea of garbing them like revolutionary war fighters, which is kinda what Dawn of War did. "redcoats". I also kinda like the joke of having my boyz be disposable "red shirts" as a star trek joke. But just green and red seems like the most common ork color scheme.
