I think Forgebane has left production by now, which might make it tricky to find in some cases. Or that was the impression I got when Element game was clearing out their stocks of it a while ago. Still available on the GW store though so I dunno.

Seldom Posts posted:Forgebane is also a good way to accidentally start a Knights army. I bought 2 ad mech halves, and then I was like, welp might as well buy Renegade. Now I have Knights to paint when I'm done my ad mech. Boy I know how that turns out. On the plus side, Knights are fun to paint as a break between Admech models.

When y’all are talking about painting with airbrushes... what for? Can’t you you just buy the color of primer you want and use that for the base coat?

Yellow drained my soul for brush painting medium-to-large surfaces. I'm coming back with bigger weaponry I guess

Airbrushes offer more control than spraying, and you use up less paint. There’s a ton of tricks you can do with an airbrush that are nearly impossible with hairbrushes, but even with basecoating I’d rather use the airbrush. (Except on big terrain pieces gently caress it that’s getting hit with a can.)

That seems crazy that you’d be able to get such precision from airbrushes. Kicking rad.

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:That seems crazy that you’d be able to get such precision from airbrushes. Kicking rad. A good clean airbrush with a good needle and tip can do really fine work. Look for videos on Youtube and you can see people making airbrush lines that look like they're done with a pen.  Combine that with good masking techniques and you can get some amazing results. I'm a mediocre brush painter, but that's because I don't use a brush if I can help it. Any surface bigger than a fingernail will be airbrushed instead of brushed.

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:When y’all are talking about painting with airbrushes... what for? Zenithal highlighting practically requires an airbrush, blending effects are a lot easier, it's fast without sacrificing control (a rattlecan is absolutely sacrificing control). OSL is also really easy to do with an airbrush and it looks cool as hell. I use it a lot for doing cloudy camo patterns, which are if not actually impossible then they're pretty loving close to impossible with a can.

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:When y’all are talking about painting with airbrushes... what for? Already been said, but until you try a dual action airbrush and see how fast you can do gradients, OSL, shading, etc, you don't know what you're missing. Especially on big flat panels like vehicles and knights. Even applying grey gradients to a black basecoat so thinned paints will automatically be highlighted is a dream. Little fiddly bits and edge highlights are still by hand (if you even need the edges), but every minute you spend getting better at the airbrush will pay off. It's the difference between 45 min per marine and 20

The time factor is definitely a big deal, too. I primed a trio of Crisis Suits earlier today, and I'm planning on sitting down to paint them later tonight. Since the entire scheme I use is by airbrush and a little bit of detail brushwork, I don't expect taking all three of them from 'primed, no paint' to 'finished and sealed' to take longer than about half an hour (plus some time for the paint to dry, just in case).

Just being able to prime all year and not worry about humidity has made an airbrush totally worth it.

Funny coincidence that my in-laws got my an airbrush for Christmas today, what with all the airbrush talk lately. Given that I know absolutely nothing about airbrushes, will a cheap one start me off following bad practices? They got my a Master G23, which I think is fairly cheap.

Airbrushing means never having to worry about loving up a clear coat again. It's also a lot cheaper than the high quality rattle cans in the long run.

As an expert in loving up rattlecan matte coats, how much of a pain is it to clean an airbrush after varnishing? I don’t really wanna mess with anything nastier than windex.

I’ve tried to get into airbrushing but I’m too much of a dunce to be able to keep the fucker clean. I’ve tried methods listed in a few places including complete disassembly and soaking in isopropyl alcohol.

In about a week and a half, Badger will be having their birthday sale. Last year it was any airbrush, even their top of the line, for $54. Follow on Facebook for details.

Do you put the whole thing in the ultrasonic cleaner or just the nozzle/regulator/cap? Does the ultrasonic have any effect on the rubber seals? I've got a bottle of "Airbrush/spraygun restorer" that's supposed to completely dissolve all types of paint but it says not to get it on the rubber seals, and not to spray it through the brush.

I strip and clean my brush after every session because that's just good maintenance habits. As long as you're fully flushing each color with (at minimum) until it's spraying clear with no paint residue you should be fine.

An airbrush will change your life.

Failson posted:Please stick with the Lions! Mostly because I've wanted to do Lions, and will never, ever get around to it. But I'm thinking I might maybe do some kind of combined force - with Lions as an Indomitus Crusader detachment, and then a Liberation Force for the Fists. The Sons of Dorn stand shoulder to shoulder! Also, I did buy some Lions decals, so i might as well use them. Also I wound up buying some Black Reach transfers for the Fists (funnily enough, it also has a Fulminators emblem on there, which is a bit weird. At least I can use it in a Fortis Kill Team, I guess). Not sure what to do with the leftovers, though. Also, you should definitely check out Spear of The Emperor, when it gets a general release if you want some more Lions goodness.

Yvonmukluk posted:I'm sorry, I'm working on a Space Marine Heroes mini as a test Crimson Fists dude for my Oath this month, and I must admit the fact it's blue plastic means it seems like I can just skip out on the black basecoating - it definitely feels easier to paint than the Lions test model I did earlier this year. Even with the blue plastic you should be putting some sort of primer on the models before painting them. Citadel and Army Painter both make blue sprays.

That's a fair point, but I couldn't really prime it in cold weather (and the Conquest magazine says to do it that way, albeit with Macragge Blue). It seems to be working out OK, though. It's only a (test) model.
