Th-th-they came I'm having some serious painter paralysis. I want them to be perfect. The Corgi warlock guys. These are very, very good dogs. E- I'm just realizing something about them that's confusing me. Is French a class in Dungeons & Dragons I wasn't aware of?

Booley posted:The artificer brushes are rebranded w&n series 7s. They're actually probably going to be better than series 7s because they go through both w&n and gw quality control. I honestly had no idea. The more you know. Seldom Posts posted:I don't think anyone answered this. I just started using a wet palette as well and would be interested in the answer or any other guides or hints about using wet palettes. My wet palette is a Warmachine clamshell blister with some paper towels inside on top of the sponge and a replaceable parchment membrane. I don't clean it beyond replacing the paper towels and parchment when they get too contaminated with paint. I washed out the sponge the other day for the first time in 4 years and it wasn't mouldy. It's also never smelled. I keep the lid on when I'm done painting. Our paints also contain preservatives (in addition to being variably toxic) so I'm not overly worried about mould. YMMV though if your tap water is dirty to begin with.

Was joking but yes, paint yours too and post them. Dog up this thread.

Anyone have experience with the Vallejo black primer via airbrush? I'm out of black spray paint, though I was thinking to try Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Multi-Purpose Paint - Flat Black. I did their 2x last time and that was.... Almost a disaster.

Do it all the time and it works great. Get some Vallejo flow improver to thin it down for the airbrush

Is there a standard fix for clearing out the stupid little metal tubes that come with the Citadel Plastic glue when they got clogged? I just want to assemble some drat bikes!

I use an 11 gauge guitar string to clear the tube on my revell plastic glue, I assume the citadel one is similar. You could also pop the tube out and run a lighter or something over it which works too.

Any advice for painting black fabric - specifically a commisar's trenchcoat. Am I best to basecoat black or go with a dark blue/purple/green before a black wash?

Unscrew the needle applicator top, turn it upside down and dunk the needle applicator in the plastic glue remaining in your bottle. It should quickly melt any blockage. I usually then blow air through the end not covered in wet glue to expel any bits left over. Works every time. I ended up switching to Tamiya extra thin plastic glue eventually for this very reason, as it comes with a nice brush applicator that cannot jam or clog.

The standard GW method is Abaddon black with different edge highlights, usually blueish greys. Nowadays there is Black Templar contrast as well but I have no idea how good the results are for that.

Someone itt mentioned using very dark reds for black cloaks and it's nice on the eyes as well as dark blues or grey-blues. Using flat greys is hard and never looks that nice.

I'm bad at colour theory so I've generally just followed the instructions on the painting app so that's not something I've tried before.

So after hearing all the good things about Windsor & Newton Brush Cleaner & Restorer I decided to give it a shot on some old brushes. That was after 30 minutes.

I know you’re talking about a coat, rather than power armour, but I always wanted to see someone demo the gloss varnish highlight method. It apparently involves edge highlighting black power armour using thin lines of gloss varnish instead of normal paint. Sounds really weird, but apparently people do it.

I'm almost tempted to try the boiling water method for cleaning brushes that someone mentioned earlier. I think some of my need a good deep clean anyway and the soap isn't work all the way. Mostly because I don't have no idea where to get that W&N cleaner nor the money to get it from abroad.

I could see it working though. What's the underlying varnish? Matte?

Electric Hobo posted:I start with pure black, then highlight with very dark greys, and I don't do any edge highlights. No matter how you do it, be careful that your highlights aren't too light, or everything will look glossy. Thanks. I've done smaller bits of black with abbaddon black and eshin grey or thunderhawk blue. Some of this may relate to going to my parent's house and finding 2 hex pots of blood red and 1 of deadly nightshade... 20 years old and seemingly servicable!

 This guy was an experiment in doing super lazy black coats. Airbrushed VMC Black Grey with a very light zenithal spray of VMA Cold Grey. Then did an all over spray of AP Dark Tone mixed 50-50 with airbrush thinner and a little brush application of the same after it was dry to push some shadows. Finally a Dullcote varnish to kill any gloss. I think it worked well.

Working up from a dark grey and then using washes to filter it back down to near black is the only way I've got black highlights I'm happy with. This technique is super easy and effective.

Also remember that true black doesn't exist in the real world, and shadows in the outdoors with a yellow sun have a blue hue. Incorporating a bit of color theory into your painting can do a lot to improve things.

Got confused and thought Warcry was released yesterday and was planning on painting some Iron Golems this week, turns out its next week when I don't have a week to myself. Instead I'm creating a warband for AoS Skirmish as hopefully I'll get my first game of anything in the next couple of weeks. So I grabbed the Start Collecting: Sylvaneth on clearance last night and ordered some Elves to make a Winter woodland gang. Here's the Dyrad part of the list:  and a non-white background so the snow is actually visible:  The "Ice" is gloss varnish that I've deliberately fogged up using a hairdryer to break it.

I tried a new primer today and it went on insanely thick. I’ll post pics later before I decide if it’s worth painting or if it needs another dunk in the Purple Pool.

I think h you should give it a shot unless you're confident you will get every bit of paint from every crevice.
