At first glance Tyran Blue shade seems ideal if you want to make a model kinda sorta blue in a blotchy way, and cant be bothered loving up the dilution of some blue paint yourself. And if I'm reading this right, the new shades arent replacing the old, so GW are going to be selling 4 seperate green washes? Like I enjoy a bespoke wash, but that feels slightly excessive.

A smart person would just mix their own with blue ink but i'm lazy

It's not, really, especially when you're catering to an audience that doesn't have the art background to mix their own washes. Secondary colours have a lot of variation in them and if I'm reading the images right you're gonna have Biel-Tan as a Neutral Green, Coelia is your Deep Blue Green, Poxwalker is a lighter Blue Green and Kroak is a light Yellow Green. You could slap each wash (maybe not Kroak) onto the same green base and end up with great skin tone variation for an Ork army. You could probably individualize every Boy if you just do a random mix of the washes too for little effort.

Any recommendations for magnifiers? Once the sun goes down and my eyes start getting tired it’s a lot harder to see the details to paint them.

I went with the warmer scheme and you know what? I love it. wins32767 posted:Any recommendations for magnifiers? Once the sun goes down and my eyes start getting tired it’s a lot harder to see the details to paint them. If you can see the models just fine in daylight then it sounds like you should just get better lighting. Two IKEA Tertials with daylight bulbs on either side of your workspace should get your sorted out and prevent eyestrain as it gets darker.

I've used Gorilla super glue gel for years and loved it, but the last four bottles I've bought from different suppliers on Amazon have all been dried out/too goopy to use without digging the glue out with a toothpick. Has anyone else encountered this? Or is it just another case of shady suppliers on Amazon? At any rate, does anyone have any good recommendations for other reliable kinds of superglue and/or places to get good quality Gorilla super glue? I'm in the UK.

Not a huge issue but now I'm going to be super aware of it being a possibility White paint has notoriously large pigment, so anything mixed with a white paint might see that. You could also be bumping into an issue where your paint is partially drying on the brush. Are you painting straight out of the pot, or off of a dry pallet? A wet pallet or sometimes even just wetting your brush in clean water before painting can help to prevent that.

Pretty much the recipe was scrofulous brown, sunny skin tone, pale flesh, white flesh. Then mixing a little red into the pale flesh to do the cheeks But I think it could also be that I was doing a bit of glazing and really thin layers to build up the highlights. Wait edit no, I used monument light ochre not scrofulous brown. That could be a big part Spanish Manlove fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Jun 14, 2022 |

Has anyone else encountered this? Or is it just another case of shady suppliers on Amazon? I usually get whatever gel superglue they happen to have in poundland, they've sometimes had tubes of gorilla branded gel superglue, they usually have Ultraloc which works fine, my current tube is Scotch "no run gel" superglue in an applicator pack which makes impossible to gauge how much is left. I'm pretty sure Wilko stocks most of the gorilla range if there is one near you, and I think The Range carries it too. 90s Cringe Rock posted:They owned Asda for a bit. Asda stocks gorilla glue. My local Asda is absolute dogshit for superglue for some reason despite being a massive store, or at least it was the last time I looked. Very little choice, all of it overpriced.

I have a hard time getting excited for any specific new contrast because half of the ones in the preexisting lineup are trash and half are amazing, and there was no way to tell beforehand. If Soulblight Gray is one of the good ones it'll be amazing

Almost guaranteed that multiple colours in there have Titanium White in the mixture so you definitely were mixing white unknowingly and having the titanium particles cause you trouble.

It's no big deal since I'm painting up this model for fun and practice but yeah I'm totally betting that one of those paints had some large pigment mixed in. I feel like a weeb now but I've been liking to paint feminine faces a lot more recently because I can try for delicate, fun techniques like makeup and blush instead of just John Halo soldiers. Like in that previous image I copped out of painting eyes by trying to make the model look like she had a ton of mascara.

So because I'm a stupid noob, I've been using the citadel paper palettes for my first squad I finished and half of my second. After seeing absolutely everyone in tutorials on youtube using wet ones, I picked up the Redgrass palette and a nicer brush for highlights since that's been a struggle with my current selection of brushes. At the very least I'm looking forward to my paint not drying immediately on a sheet of paper.

I can't go back to dry palette after using wet. The only time I do is for washes and contrast paints because I don't want it to soak through the paper into the sponge.

There's a few things you'll NOT want to put on the wet palette so the paper ones aren't totally useless. That being said, a cheap plastic palette thing from an art store will be ~2.99 and is reusable for next time Things that may not want to be on a wet palette*:

I just pour paint on my cutting mat like an animal. I'm rarely painting figures lately tho, mostly terrain or small touchups. When I can remember/ actually going to paint for more than 10 minutes, I use the 8 dish round aluminum palette i got at Michael's art supply store. At least it's easy to clean out

First time I ever painted, was some enamel car models with whatever comes with testors paint I hated it, thought the model took a lot of work, the paint took a lot of effort to apply correctly and had tons of streaks, the paint was thick, the instructions were poor (compared to legos at the time) and I wasn't using a palette at all I think I was like 8-12 that range it was enough for me to not touch the hobby until my 30s
