I paint my skintones a ton of different shades. I seem to do better with midrange and dark tones, my white folk and east Asians don't look right. I was particularly happy with my Captain, who I modeled after a muay tai fighter.

I hope Cawl secretly incorporated a killswitch into all of this new vanguard stuff for the eventual Mechanicus uprising.

Safety Factor posted:Noted 30k goon/posting menace tkwg paints his Salamanders like that and has managed to get some pretty great responses off of SA. Particularly with his Vulkan. A+++ extremely recommend doing this. Natural skin tones tend to look better than unnatural ones, and painting regular black Sallies still fits within established fluff while making a certain segment of posters incredibly angry. Really nothing but benefits.

Haven't painted any Marines in a while now but so far I've done Raven Guard pale/alabaster skin. Even if it turned out really chalky because of the paints. Really need to pick a better way of painting alabaster skin because its always ended up chalky for me regardless. And the dark grey Salamanders skin.  Closest I've come to a darker more natural shade was with an AoS Stormcast.  Been wanting to try the new skin tones but haven't gotten around buying those yet.

I did an Army Showcase today on Goonhammer for my Night Lords. Come look at some old-rear end models I painted a long time ago! https://www.goonhammer.com/army-showcase-thechirurgeons-night-lords/ Also on Goonhammer today, One_Wing did a preview of the tournament he's going to, along with some top lists that are gonna be there and how he expects to play against them. Read that too, I guess. But definitely read the army showcase. https://www.goonhammer.com/tournament-preview-three-cool-lists-from-the-london-open/

I'm a new to 40k player. I'm trying to create an Ordo Xenos Inquisition Army to play with. So Far I have 1 x Watch Captain Artemis 1 X Dreadnought 20 X Deathwatch Veterans 10 X Tempestor Scions 1 x Inquisitor Eisenhorn What I want: One of Each Assasin for Eisenhorn Retinue. Corvus Blackstar What else should I be looking at to round out this army? Anything I should drop? I'm trying to do this with the understanding that the Keyword Imperium will be the only thing holding these units together. I also don't think I'm being new or innovative and that someone has done this before, but I haven't found anything online. Any advice?

Ayn Marx posted:Did you share the recipe for that skin somewhere? When I’m home I can get the specific color numbers, but it’s vallejo dark brown as a base, highlight by mixing in flesh tone 50:50, wash the whole thing sepia, pin wash black, re-highlight with 75:25 flesh tone:dark brown. The best advice I found when reading tips and guides was that darker skin naturally has sharper contrasts than paler skin, so shadows should be darker and highlights should be lighter than what you’d do if you’re painting a honky.

crazystray posted:drat. Alcohol based metallics! They “read” as actual metals way better than water soluble paint. You can also huff them and get really high. For Vulkan I used copper, old gold, gold and silver and muted with a brown oil wash before final rounds of highlights. For the regular guys it’s copper with old gold and gold highlights, again using an intermediate oil wash.

Bascoat the panels Caliban Green Sponge the following colors, drawing towards the center or other focal point as they get lighter Castellan Green Loren Forest Elysian Green Nurgling Green Deepkin Flesh Glaze thinned Waywatcher Green (50/50 glaze/medium) over entire panels to tie the greens together (  GW glazes, but I've got a stash and one pot pre-thinned)Sponge Deepkin Flesh one final time towards the center/focal point Then it's brass for the trim and recess shading at the edges with Nuln Oil. Followed by endless trim highlighting. I know it looks like a lot of steps, but sponging is really fast and you can do an entire titan's panels at once. Hell, I did five at once for my venator maniple.  And, yeah, I am really looking forward to more medium titans. The reaver is fine, I like it a lot more at AT scale than 40k, but I want to see some weird poo poo like the carnivores and nightgaunts they name-dropped in Titandeath. Rapier scout titans too. They're supposed to be even smaller than warhounds with one carapace-mounted weapon.
