Zuul the Cat posted:Refining my Vior'la scheme a bit more before going on to paint the rest of my start collecting box. I want the markings to look like they've been added after the fact by the owner, and not done at the factory where everything is made. I personally feel like this guy needs some more not-white bits, to make the white parts stand out more. Dont have to go crazy with it, but maybe the upper arms (the actual arms, not the bits on top of the arms) and the feet maybe? Or the outer parts of the gloves/forearms and the thigh plates?

 WIP of an alternate color scheme for my marine kill team. One of the baseline guys also present for reference. I saw this photo of an American tank in Iraq - The tank seems to have never been repainted from the dark green scheme the US Army in Europe uses, but once it arrived in-theater it seems to have gotten various upgrades and addons in the desert tan the US Army uses in the middle east.  I thought it'd be neat to do something similar with my desert-y tan space marines. These marines don't seem to have had the time or inclination to get their armor repainted in the appropriate color for whatever desert they are in now, but the additions to the baseline power armor - the backpack with the missile rack, and the power fist - were received after they arrived to wherever they are now, and are in the same sandy tan as the rest of the team.

What's the best paint-on gloss varnish? I'm looking for something that I can use to give specific parts of models a shiny final look after hitting the entire model with matt spray varnish.

Any really is fine, I use Liquitex varnish and/or medium. You can thin it down a little with water.

I bought a bunch of tiny tubes a few months back, they’re unopened. Superglue cures with moisture and heat, so the clock starts ticking once opened. You'll get more mileage if you store them in the fridge between uses.

I bought a bunch of tiny tubes a few months back, they’re unopened. Both. Superglue over 6 months old (opened or not) gets relegated to terrain and other non-essential duties in my workplace. If it's opened, the time shortens to 2 months maximum.

Decided to paint up the Cadre Fireblade and get it over with, dude looks super patriotic (after I took this picture I redid the oddly large highlight on the pauldron)   He fits in pretty well with the other fire warriors

Anyone with knowledge of GW's paint lines, I have a question. Is the Blue Horror Edge paint the same as the Blue Horror layer paint? I bought a paint pot labeled as an Edge paint, which I think is a defunct line of paints. But I am not sure if there is an actual difference in pigmentation between layer paints and Edge paints or if it was just a branding thing.

Last year they fiddled with their paint line, and part of that was renaming some things that didn't change formulation (to my knowledge) So it is just a branding thing.

 yes! Love it. Dan Didio posted:Sort of like this? My Instagram people I follow are mainly nail artists for this very reason. Nailsunny is a lady from Russia I think that has some serious skill with this sort of thing, and she does some extremely weird and  stuff too like realistic teeth and legs on nails.This is something I've wanted to try on a mini for a while now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3on1Y5t306Q They use magnets to slightly shift the metal flakes in such a way that it alters the holographic effect. Nail art has a ton of sculpting and unique painting techniques that are rarely seen in miniature painting.

Thanks to some excellent advice on this thread, the Salamanders Terminators are finished! Highlights are rough, so if anyone had advice on how to be better at staying consistent from line to line, I'd love to hear it.

For edge highlightning, especially on something like Space Marines with very hard edges, use the edge of your brush instead of the tip. This way you're altering the angle of the brush instead of the pressure to determine the thickness of the highlight and uses the model itself to provide a guide and keep the line straight. Also the always relevant advice, thin your paints even more than you think you should. Your dark green and black look smooth, but the highlight green should be thinner, do a second layer of highlight if needed.

Good stuff - thank you. Electric Hobo posted:Same thing that Cinara said. Also, you need the power of washes in your life! It'll instantly give some more depth in you paintjobs. I've seen two methods for washes, one where you apply over the whole model and then re-apply the layer paint and another where you paint the shade directly into the recesses - is there any consideration for using one method over the other besides preference?
