Moulded from the few scarabs I had, running out of parts and washes , I'm really proud how these scarabs turned out. I can't wait till my order comes in and i've got some agrax earthshade again.

Painted an ethereal and did a bunch of bases yesterday. I'm very happy with the blue and white winter/maritime scheme I accidentally figured out from stuff I originally got for space wolves.

I've painted up the Star Wars Legion box set. Fun game. Here are a couple pieces. Also, I'm really liking this MacroMat. It's really brought up my miniature photography game 100 fold. Thanks to the 40k Badcast for that hot tip. I'm going through the entire backlog of that podcast right now as I paint.  The "Greedo" graffiti is from a printout I made and colored in with colored pencils. I glued it to the barricade with thinned down white glue.

Is it a “thing” to put little ball bearings in Citadel paint pots to ease with keeping the paint mixed? If so, do you guys have recommendations on where/what to buy?

Yeah, lots of people do that. Make sure to get something that won't rust, either (legit) stainless steel or glass/ceramic beads.

I bought a bunch of cheap, discount glass beads in different diameters online. More mass than cut up sprue, and completely inert so they can't effect the paint. For sizes that'll go in dropper bottles or small pots, you can get hundreds for a tenner.

I truly hope whomever designed this model takes as his greatest shame to he grave that the rider's arm is not extended up and back as in a "bucking bronco" rider. Shameful. Great paint-job, though. What's the little white decal on the nose?

Thanks. It's a leftover I had from a Tamiya 1/48 Tiger Tank decal sheet I have. I store all my unused decals together for various projects. The other side of the model has a "7" from a Maschinen Krieger kit I did a few years back.

My Black Knights are all primed and ready to go, however I'd like to paint them in Bretonnian Knight random heraldic colors with each of the five knights with a different coat of arms. Any tips on using tape to get nice, crisp lines?

Crossposting from Hams for Hunger, because I asked for a little help here so I thought the people who helped out might want to see the end result. I love the way the 'glacial ice' colors on the wings worked out. In the unlikely event of me ever painting a second one of these, I'd be tempted to use those colors for the whole body but I think the stark contrast between the blue wing membranes and fins helps make the purple->bluish-white transition of the body look more white. A few of the highlights on the dragon's face got to be pure white, but for the most part there's no actual white on the mini.     There're a few things I don't like about the model, but they're minor. The pose is a bit goofy: is it landing? It's going to break its tail! Hovering? Now it can't claw adventurers but they can still poke it with sharp things! And parts of the sculpt feel unfinished or hastily done (the tail fringe especially has five 'spines' on one side and three on the other, one of the arm fringes has a front piece the other lacks). For all its flaws, I'd still say it was the most enjoyable of the three to paint. The modeling flaws were minor (unlike the Green Dragon), it wasn't sharp (unlike the Red Dragon), and the wings weren't in the way (unlike both of the other two).

That looks phenomenal and I love your color choices. Did you consider snow or a faint blue wash to the ice? I can see why you'd avoid snow, since pure white wouldn't fit the color composition, but maybe with a grey tint?

I hadn't considered that, but a teal wash would be a good idea!

 I did a very light wash with I'd say 30-40:1 water/Ahriman Blue, a very light drybrush with white on the upper portions to try to give any sharp points or raised area a little shine, and then cut a tiny bit of nuln oil into the wash and went back and re-washed the bottom 1/5th or so of each big icicle to darken the lowest bits. I think that came out looking pretty nice! PoptartsNinja fucked around with this message at 06:48 on Jun 3, 2020 |

Finally done with the Maw-Krusha. Sorry for the crappy overexposed pictures. It's not going to win any contests but I'm pretty happy how it turned out and to have finally completed my 2000pts of Orruks! I should have applied a wash to Gordrakk's head I think. But I'm pretty happy how the blood splatters turned out!

Crosspost from Hams for Hunger. I was working on this guy simultaneously with the white dragon. I mostly finished this one first, but I needed to wait for the resin on the base to dry. The red dragon was computer modeled, but near as I can tell both the white and green dragon were modeled by hand.  The crocodile on the base was made by taking an oyumaru mold of Reaper's Werecrocodile, which I also used as a test model for the Green Dragon's colors. There are also five tiny rats on the base, but three of them are hidden under the two poisonous mushrooms near the green dragon's tail.  I don't work with a lot of greens, and I decided I wanted to make the green dragon a lot more emerald than the werecroc so he got a final highlight layer of very thinned yellow to make the greens pop, and then the yellow/green highlights on the belly scales got an overbrushing of bone to accentuate them further.  There's also a T-Rex skull fossil embedded in the floor next to the croc pond. If you look closely, you can see two rats from this angle: a black one in the open, and a brown one under the mushroom near the dragon's back foot. I have some major issues with this model that I feel like I need to mention. I can't really recommend this model to others because of one of them, so I'll talk about the lesser flaw first.  The green dragon's lower jaw is really curved. It looks like they were modeling it with a closed mouth at first and then someone said "No, make it meaner!" so they opened the front of the mouth without changing the angle of the 'hinge' at the back.  So the back of the mouth is closed and the front of the jaw is open. The green dragon can't close its jaw any farther than this. That was a minor flaw. The major flaw?  At some point during the modeling process, someone knocked the model over onto its left wing. The left wing is bent into a really terrible position that makes painting it, the tail, and most of the green dragon's left side really awkward and bad. Worse, though?  The base of the dragon's wing got bumped out of the socket designed to hold it to the body, leaving a divot (which got textured over later in an effort to hide it) and part of the wire armature inside the dragon's wing poked through and wasn't fixed. This got captured by the molding process and it's not a one-off mistake, as far as I can tell this flaw is on every version of the figure. The official promotional / box art for the model keeps the dragon at an angle where this isn't visible, but some online sellers took shots of the dragon at other angles that reveal the problem pretty clearly.   I'm not a confident enough modeler to try to fix this, especially since the model comes pre-assembled and that's a terrible place to try to work an x-acto knife into.  Anyway, here's a money shot of all three dragons together.
