Hustlin Floh posted:New paint bad Kinda surprised GW didn't take it a step further and get people onboard with zenithal priming. Fast results with their new glazes and they coulda sold people extra primer colors. e: here's the guide for new people, I mixed the green paint to make it basically the same consistency as the new glaze product https://www.powerfisted.com/?p=199 BULBASAUR fucked around with this message at 09:16 on May 14, 2019 |

I don't have a horse in this fight, but literally the same effect can be reached using current GW products. These are a friends he painted in January. He's not a two thin coats kind of guy and did these quickly to knock out troops to a battle ready standard. his recipe for the skin: (using gloss washes) "Prime white. Wash with 70/30 drakenhoff nightshade (and agrax). Wash with straight agrax"   If he can do the same thing even faster, he's gonna be happy (and already plans on getting the whole set). My thought is that you can already get rattlecans of satin primer/spray paint at box stores, and could probably get the same effect nearly as fast using inks and washes available from other companies. The big difference here is that GW is incorporating it into their painting system and providing all the materials and instructions to do this easily (along with their unique paint formula).

I am excited for the new paints because I am a lovely painter who is too lazy and stupid to try harder, the perfect demographic to target.

I for one am disappointed by how limited a showing the new Sisters of Battle had. I wonder how much money you'll have to spend to get that preview model.

I mean I am also in the cusp of just quitting the hobby and am only staying on to possibly get some Sisters of Battle, so anything to help me cut down on painting time would make me staying a more sure thing.

The army isn't releasing until the end of the year at the very earliest, what exactly is your complaint? They can't develop an entirely new line fast enough?

They were announced as "emperor willing we'll have them in 2019". With a statement like that I'd be surprised to see an announcement in november of 2019, much less in may.

It’s not that I dislike the Admech hovertank/troop barge thing it’s just... I wish it were weirder? This is the army of spider tanks and whatever the gently caress Sydonian amputee gimp mounted ostrich mechs.

There is a slight dichotomy in the army, where some of it is just "big rear end robot" and the other parts are body-horror cyborgs.

I would've liked it a lot more for the Imperial Guard. It's open-top specifically so they can die en masse before they ever get a chance to shoot, that's so Guard.

It is literally a back to front Rhino with hover skirts. And yeah, every deployment is the start of Saving Private Ryan for the Skitarii, and that's how they like it.

Of course the first thing someone did was to photoshop dunecrawler legs onto the tank. Which barely works I think.

Some of the pre-codex fluff has really good descriptions of skitarii that I guess look sort of like roided out terrifyingly gaudy ruststalkers, covered in plumage and quills and weapon limbs etc. What I'm saying is I don't need more projects but I would love some properly decked out magos' private reserve skitarii.

 Have my soulless ninja assassin. Re:Paintchat This guy was done according to the Alpha Legion tutorial posted earlier and he is massively more complex than metallic + wash. Steps are: 1. Basecoat Leadbelcher 2. Highlight VMA Steel 3. Highlight VMC Silver 4. Wash Gulliman Blue 5. Wash Gulliman Blue 6. Wash Waywatcher Green 7. Wash Gulliman Blue If there is a way of compressing it into even 3 steps (metal, blue, green) then its already a massive saving on effort. Edit - Thumbnailed image which was massive - sorry.

I wouldn't mind possibly some heavier armor Skitarii all embellished like some robo-landsknecht a-la the ones in Abnett's Titanicus.

Cessna posted:You know what it needs for use by the Imperial Guard? That's being very generous. If it was for the Guard, the squad would all be pushing it from the back, being sniped at. As it finally makes it to the front line, the last guardsman topples, and an untouched, empty transport is left.

You can do very easily this by: 1. prime black, 2. spray silver, 3. spray tamiya clear blue + clear green mixture.

The black is very expensive Vs Halfords car primer, but their coloured sprays are better value as they prime too and give you a good base colour which saves a step. Leadbelcher spray for example is a lifesaver for things like Knights.

Halfords Matt Black for black, their white primer for white (don't prime white!) and GW for colours is my preference for spray undercoat.

It's also about quality, GW white has always tended to be a bit poo poo (all white spray UC is poo poo to some extent), and halfords matt black is just gorgeous.
