Argh, I'm trying to paint some kalabite warriors for the same friend who's bribing me with vostroyans but he wants them in white stormtrooper armour. These are horrible little figures, I hate them and white armour. There's got to be a simple way to not make them look like rear end. e: oops, forgot the tax. Here's some WIP for an armiger I'm also doing    Basic colours done, now need to do details and weathering. Lizard Combatant fucked around with this message at 17:25 on Dec 27, 2018 |

I checked out the Voxcast on my drive back from visiting family. I'm either losing my hearing as I become old, or Jes Goodwin's bassy growl is nearly indistinguishable from road noise.

ijyt posted:Cheers, it's a basecoat of VMA Gunmetal highlighted with VMA Steel, then matte varnished and stained with burnt umber oil paint (dab in on liberally, let it dry a couple of minutes, then wipe it down with a cloth, repeat until happy). The soot is just airbrushed on black acrylic, and a final edge wear with a hard graphite pencil. Thanks a lot! The airbrushing is beyond my means, but maybe some light sponging/wiping might manage something similar. I'll definitely try it on the next big gun that needs painting

But I'm in my early 40's now, so it's probably just how things are now. I'll try listening on earbuds later. I'm still hoping I can put this down to road noise interference if nobody else had problems with the mix.

Lizard Combatant posted:To clarify, you do mean pencils not those gundam markers right? Right. I'm traveling right now, and I can't be bothered looking up a link to a video/blog, but it's easy enough to do. Get a set of acrylic pencils from Amazon. Draw the highlights on. It's pretty powdery, so you can brush it off with your finger if you gently caress it up. But it's pretty powdery, so you'll also gently caress it up of you keep painting after this. When you're satisfied, hit it with a varnish, which will liquify it and seal it on, at which point you're set. For all the finicky edges on kabalites and wyches, or even power armor, this can save years of your life. It's mindblowingly fast and error proof I'll put up a quick set of images when I get home next week of this doesn't make sense

I want to try this but I've never heard of Acrylic Pencils before, only wax and chalk. Searching Amazon I only came up with Artreza colored pencils but they say wax based. I don't want to waste my money on the wrong ones.

If you can edge highlight with acrylic pencils and throw a varnish on there, I am extremely into it

These are horrible little figures, I hate them and white armour. There's got to be a simple way to not make them look like rear end. There’s a goon who improved upon a mass production dipping style they found on YouTube. They did it for like 120 chaos AoS minis and they turned out really well for super fast table top quality. He also did a test model for a kabalite and it looked even better. I think because the chaos dudes have a bunch of flesh but the kabalites are pure armor. I don’t know if they highlighted the kabalite manually but the model looked incredible for such a quick paint job. JIZZ DENOUEMENT fucked around with this message at 07:20 on Apr 8, 2020 |

Just to clarify, I'm drunk and I misspoke. I checked my order history and they're actually watercolor pencils, and not acrylic. Tutorial still applies, though. For anyone looking at Amazon/Dick Block/wherever, it's watercolor. Specifically, I have: OOKU Watercolor Pencils Arist Set - 48 Dry Coloring Pencils/Wet Watercolor Painting - BONUS Wool Pencil Canvas Wrap, Watercolor Brush, Pencil Sharpene https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XD318QF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_LYOLiMZ86B49u

GW's most likely, as long as you can provide a proof of purchase I'm pretty sure they'll send you replacement sprues.

How are Valkyries? My brother got me one for Christmas and I figure if they don’t add it as a flier to the GSC list I could also add a small detachment of Scions to bring it.

So about the 3D printed wash stand- they take about 3 hours to make which isn’t bad. I’m humoring the idea of making some SA-inspired ones and giving them out to goonhams- I’ll keep everyone updated.. stay tuned. On another note, I finished the heavy stubber gunner finally:     I wish transports were good for guard, I really want to make some cattle trucks.

Maneck posted:Use the watercolour pencil on edges, then brush water over the top? No, still watercolor pencil then varnish or lacquer. The sealer will liquify it and set it so you can do whatever else (glazes, washes, whatever) without taking the edge highlights off.

Storm trooper armor is a pain in the rear end to do correctly. It’s a gloss off-white with a bunch of details and curves, good luck shading and highlighting that for 30+ dudes.

I've always used Dullcote and I've always had fantastic results. It gets pricey though, since the cans are real tiny. All that talk of airbrushes earlier made me wonder about airbrushing varnish. Is there are a "gold standard" airbrushable varnish, similar to dullcote for rattle?

Pledge Future Gloss is great. Gloss, tough as hell, cheap, no thinning required. Only downside is you really don't want to let it dry in your airbrush but you should be cleaning up afterwards anyways.

I could be wrong though. I really like Vallejo Mecha.

I don't know if I can not gently caress it up. So assuming I sprayed these dumb elves a racing white, could I use an acrylic varnish and highlight the edges with a pencil then dull coat? What colour varnish should I be looking for?
