I've been trying to find non-GW stuff too. Specifically a replacement for Martian Ironearth for my Star Wars Legion clone troopers.

Does anyone use weathering powders? I bought some neat Secret Weapon colored powders for rust/dirt/oxidation effects and I wondered if we had any resident dirt wizards I could learn from.

I bought some neat Secret Weapon colored powders for rust/dirt/oxidation effects and I wondered if we had any resident dirt wizards I could learn from. I'd also be interested in this; I impulse bought a few of them off ebay and have tested them on a bit of terrain but I'm not confident on using them on models yet. Been meaning to ask but keep forgetting. Also the lot I bought includes "patina blue" and honestly I've no real idea when I'd ever use that one. (It also had more regular colours for the record, it was a lot of a green, rust, red brick, yellow earth and slate grey which seem like pigments I'll use more often than blue...)

Copper and bronze both get a blue-green patina when exposed to the elements. How often you'd use the patina effect depends on how often you want to have weathered copper/bronze.

You can buy crackle medium and just paint or slop more texture over it if you've gotta have that crunch. It's cheap and readily available. I've got a 4-oz vat of Distress and it was less than ten bucks. It'll last me until it gets completely aired out and useless.

A lot of crackle mediums don't really give texture, they just pull apart the layer of paint you put on under them Golden Crackle Paste is something you can mix with fine sand and paint to make something like a Citadel crackle paint

I have never in my life gotten crackle medium to work. I've put it under, over, mixed in, nothing works.

Can vouch for Vallejo's texture paint. They are quite amazing, easy to work with, and cheap compared to GW. However they don't have a crackling effect paint as far as I can tell, so for this I use Green Stuff World's "Mojave Mudcrack" and it works well enough for me!

Valejo sells a clear crackle medium, I'm guessing (as I haven't tried it) that you could mix it with their texture paint to create a proper replacement for GW crackle technical paints.

Well in trying to go for something like this: I've gotten something like this as the result:  Used Mephiston Red for the red parts, but might need to dull it down more before. Possibly also use a different shade of gold for the trim. Only my fifth mini i've painted though, so I'm kinda pleased, but it's nothing compared to all y'alls work. Edit: Ran through impcat and yeah, should have gone with Khorne Red and Balthasar Gold over Mephiston Red and Liberator Gold. Don't have Khorne or a substitute right now, so I'll have to work with what I have. Eldritch BiLast fucked around with this message at 00:53 on Aug 11, 2020 |

I redid the gold with a darker one and did the highlight in the same gold, and removed a bit of the red on the arms and back of the legs. Looks MUCH better.

Thankfully I know the Blick near me sells Golden Crackle Paste so I'll probably pick up a jug of that. I think I want my orks on some kind of mars red crackle base.

I just picked up a Vallejo acrylic medium pigment binder by misstake.. thought it was another bottle in the store. Please advise me what I can use it for? I understand it's slow drying? Can I use it for example with white paint to get a smoother coat? My whites regardless of make all dry ugly and lumpy and are hard to control when mixed with water.

Well I finally went for it with one of the Indomitus minis, pretty pleased, even if I was a little too hamfisted with the contrast brush. Need a finer tip on the brush for accuracy, but otherwise, not too terrible for a beginner? Now to base it.

Not bad for a first try. Yeah some finer tip brushes really help a lot with accuracy. Some styles call for super neat painting, some can be a little messy. It all depends on what you're going for. If you do it right, a tiny bit of spill over in the cracks for accent stuff kinda looks like the cracks are glowing.

Echoing what others said, if you want it to look extra crisp, you could go back over the metallic parts to cover some of the blue bleed (though I think it looks fine) and then do a wash all over with nuln oil. And then to go the extra mile, do a little more metal and blue color to highlight. You don't need any extra paints to get a little more depth (except nuln if you don't have it) It's definitely a job worth being proud of!

Looks a lot better, nice job. What are you thinking for the base? Grey rubble/ash waste type of look would be a nice contrast to the tan and blue, I feel.

Painting my first 40k mini which is an Intercessor I got for free from the Warhammer store I wanted to go another level of blue for highlight but the lightest coat I could do without splattering was basically the width of the backpack so it's kind of hard to get that thin spot highlight going. Is this a function of the fat 0.5mm nozzle on my Badger 105 or can I get a finer result through thinning and fiddling with psi? If the former, well, it was half the price of an Iwata Eclipse so what can you do but does anyone know if the 0.3mm conversion kit for the 105 is good? e: painting details with a size 3 synthetic brush I got in a value pack at the art store that sheds a hair every time I rinse it in water is going to drive me insane Eej fucked around with this message at 04:56 on Aug 12, 2020 |
