Eej posted:If you mix glitter thoroughly enough then you get something inbetween the two colours yes. This works for glitter that is much larger than the ones they use in paint. I never thought of just mixing inks and metallics together. I always applied the metallic paint first, then glazed over with inks/contrast.

I'm still very new, admittedly, but I've mixed Reaper Blade Steel with standard acrylics and gotten pretty good results.

Hello here's a Trollblood model for Riot Quest / WMH. With this, I've painted every RQ model I own and that feels hella weird!

From what I understand, the glazing with ink method will keep a bit shine to the metal ; while mixing won't. So which method to use really depends on the desired end effect. This was on one of Vince's more recent Hobby Cheating video iirc.

it doesnt really make sense to mix metallics with increased-flow paint like washes and contrast paints, because you don't want more metallic sheen on the recessed areas the paint is designed to pool in. you want a consistent sheen throughout, with increased shade in the recesses.

 My take on Duvalle. Not wild on how he turned out, the original plan was for the armor to be black with highlights going into purple, but somehow it just ended up all purple. I'm not super good at highlighting, and his armor is so jagged and full of volumes that I had a hard time. Pretty okay though.

I think he looks great, but needs another accent color to really pop. Maybe paint the vine/thorn motifs on his equipment in a contrasting green, it'd look really good and add tons of visual interest.

I believe the extra metallic flakes will get drowned out by the pooled shade? Either way, it's a trick they came up with for speed painting so it's not gonna be perfect.

Here's my entry for this month's painting competition at my LGS. Set out to do NMM but then decided to try out impressionist stuff like Nebalebadingdong does. I'm very happy with the green armor, and though I meant the axe to be steel, looks more like ice. Gonna keep practicing this technique, it's really fun. Edit: here's the model in good lighting. Oh and I made the base out of a piece of foam poster board. Other stuff I tried to use on this to get out of my comfort zone was to not use washes or metallic paints, and avoiding using pure black. So the dark greens are just vallejo dark sea blue and the dark blues (used this even on the cape) are scale75 deep blue or cantabric blue

so I have a pretty good idea of how to do it, so im guessing that GW painting guides are a loving joke, eh? I bought the retributor armor spray for the Storm of Celestus Warband and holy frick you guys, that paint was insane expensive and the painting guide ended up calling for like 17 paints. many of which were just slightly lighter colored paints. and i covered 90% of the gold armor with multiple basecoats. What the heck

For cleaning your airbrush, Vince Ventrullas ‘how to clean your airbrush fast’ is required viewing, it’ll save you a poo poo ton of difficulty and work and also demonstrates a good, efficient, and easy work flow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEIJs1c4bsQ For general airbrush stuff, I found the miniacs ‘know nothing about airbrushes? Start here’ video is quite good. e: I put in the link for Vince's cleaning video, he made several I think. Just how good his video is, might be better appreciated by fumbling around with cleaning the airbrush on your own, constantly taking it apart and using the reamer and brushes and what not for half a year before viewing it, but as someone with that experience, I don't recommend it.

So whats the best way to remove primer from a mini? I sprayed them black and I wanted to try something different like Wraithbone. Can I just prime over the primer? It's just for clanrats nothing major, or should I try to dunk them in something. If so, what?

It's messy, time consuming, and doesn't always work like you'd expect - why not spray some white from the top down and experiment with zenithal priming?

I just googled this and it looks good. I have 20 clanrats to paint, I did one in Grey seer to try out the paint. I have Corax White and Grey Seer. I wanted to try out a contrast painting method as I have the purple and green and fur and flesh paints and wanted to do that.

It's just for clanrats nothing major, or should I try to dunk them in something. If so, what? If you do decide to strip them, or if you ever need to strip paint in the future: Super Clean (aka Purple Power in some regions) is safe for use on metal and plastic (unlike mineral spirits or acetone, which work faster but will damage plastic if you're not very careful) and actually works (unlike a lot of other paint stripping folk remedies in my experience.) For metal minis leave them overnight, scrub them once and they'll basically be like new. Plastic takes a little longer and may take multiple dunkings. It will eventually dissolve superglue but it takes much longer than paint/primer and most of my models were either intact afterwards or only lost the most poorly-connected little fiddly bits. You'll want chemical gloves and goggles -- it's pretty strong for a household cleaner and prolonged skin contact can cause burns.

I'm finishing a painting supplies order, and I need help with 2 quick issues: - Anyone know what Scale75 calls bronze? Actual metallic bronze, like bronze age armor? I really like their metallics, their naming sense not so much. - What's a good basing paste (Vallejo preferred, but others might possibly be available) that I can poke with a brush and that does NOT contain any sand? I want something like irregular bone lattice left over by some alien organism.

Interestingly, while I was looking for the plastic putty sku, I discovered Vallejo makes a mold line remover for half the price of Citadel. About time if it hasn't been around the whole time, imo.

They will have Liquitex and Golden mediums, many of which are amazing for basing. Best of all they will have sample tiles of everything available, as those companies ship sample tiles out to anyone selling their products.

I normally use neodymium magnets to magnetize the bases of my 28mm figs but I recently started painting some 15mm figs mounted on flat plastic bases and I'd like to magnetize them with magnetic sheeting. What thickness of magnetic sheet is necessary to maintain a good grip in a metal container? Is 0.4mm thick enough?
