I was surprised to find Vince doesn't have a porcelain tutorial. Anybody have any good guides for getting that kind of effect?

Anyone have any experience with laser printed transfers? I managed to get this one flat and solidly stuck onto the figure but it looks a little rough. Any tips for getting it less blurry/pixelated? The ink on top of the transfer medium also tends to get a bit messed up as I adjust the transfer to sit straight on the shoulder. Any tips at all are appreciated.  If I get frustrated enough I may start to…freehand. Ugh

Could you try going over it with paint to sharpen it? It would be like you're freehand tracing and maybe you won't hate that as much.a7m2 posted:Cross post from the Gaslands thread with another Hot Wheels car modified mostly with stuff lying around the house. More Mad Maxed Hot Wheels, please.

Any tips at all are appreciated. I assume you mean inkjet or laser jet printed, and not laser printed. That doesn't look like you could get a Glowforge or whatever to cut it. I bought some transfers that looked inkjet printed, from Fighting Pirannha Graphics. They look OK largely because they're very small. However, they're nowhere near the quality level of Games Workshops transfers. The transfers here are the FPG ones:

Chainclaw posted:I don't get the draw of non metallic metals. It seems like a lot of work to get something that looks worse than just using metallic paints? You have a lot more control over the look and feel of non metallic paints. Metallics are great for table armies but bad for display pieces where you want your stylistic choices to be more visible and coherent

Vince and Trovarion discussed NMM and TMM a while ago. tldr TMM is great and you can still pull off complex NMM-like shading with them. NMM is better for showing off how good you are at controlling light.

I've seen a lot of painting guides where they guiliman flesh instead of reikland fleshshade, is there any real benefit for using one over the other or is it just preference? Also I found this thousand sons colour scheme on youtube and does anyone have an idea how to achieve the colour primarily used here? I want to steal it and use it instead of gold trim.

The difference is that Guilman Flesh is a contrast paint. It (in theory) gives base, shade, and highlights at the same time. While Reikland Fleshshade is a shade to be applied over an existing paint coat. Just depends if you want to do an all-in-one or not, really.

I'm aware contrast does that but I see people putting it over base paints, so that's why I'm curious.

ah, okay, sorry for misunderstanding. In that case I think it will just come down to the effect you're looking for. The contact will be transparent to a degree but will also tint a lot more than a shade. Might be useful for someone who is basing with their highlight colour and painting on top of that.

The last batch of pre-new formula GW washes are messed up (the ones that instead of just "Citadel" changed to the new "Citadel COLOR" logo already, but still in 24ml pots) all of them dried really glossy until I found out that you have to stir them with a toothpick. No matter how I was shaking them the goo at the bottom of the pots did not move, but if you mix that in the washes lose the glossiness. Its really strange because "officially" there was no change in wash formula at that point. Maybe you have a similar problem?

Is the flat hex tile a 3d print, or laser cut wood, or something else? It looks very dimensionally accurate. Also, I thought you were Canadian because of the strange looking penny, but then realized I have not handled change in so long it was a US penny.

w00tmonger posted:Anyone familar with lighting miniatures internally? I think the solution kind of depends on a few things, but the easiest thing may be to get an led tea candle. You can get ones that flicker or are constant, but they are kind of a self contained deal. You might have to make a special base to accept it though, which would raise the elemental an inch or 3/4" or so. The tea lights are cheap enough that you could buy a box and take a few apart to see if you can mount them in a different manner. The major constraint is going to be how the light adapts to the power supply and how it connects. A lot of miniature lighting is based off the idea of a static display, not a piece that will be moved frequently. The battery size and form factor may be the limiting issue here. I would imagine that a CR2032 (watch battery) style will be the best in regards to size and shape for miniatures, but potentially the most difficult to connect to. The switch is something that needs to be considered as well, as you probably want to be able to operate it without difficulty. There are a lot of options out there for railroad style set-ups so looking that direction may yield some promising results, but I think most of those rely on a relatively static power distribution set-up. https://smile.amazon.com/JOSU-Flame...0d2ee3cd13&th=1

    I was bored and wanted to put some paint on some models so I decided to do something I'd been intending to do for a while, which is test copying ThirdEyeNuke's tyranid scheme (also known as: ThirdEyeNuke's only color scheme) using contrast paints or other simple paint applications. All are primed with a GW Wraithbone rattlecan. First is thinned GW Basilicanum Grey Contrast over everything and then GW Black Legion Contrast over the carapace, then thinned GW Iyanden Yellow Contrast for the yellow bits and thinned GW Flesh Tearers Red Contrast around the mouth. Second is GW Soulblight Grey Shade over everything followed by a drybrush (Artis Opus style, so slightly damp brush and paint removed via a non-absorbant texture palette) of Golden Artist Colors Titanium White, then Black Legion over the carapace and another drybrush in the same style as the first, then Vallejo Model Wash Black in the recesses and Vallejo Mecha Gloss varnish on the carapace. I didn't get to applying the red and yellow because it was late last night and I wanted to get to bed, and then I didn't do it this morning because I was more interested in trying a third. Third is straight Basilicanum Grey over everything, then Titanium White drybrush, then Black Legion over the carapace. Then I tried using Army Painter Light Tone and Army Painter Red Tone thinned with Army Painter Quickshade Wash Mixing Medium for the red and yellow, but the effect was way too subtle so instead I used thinned Iyanden Yellow and GW Blood Angels Red Contrast for that instead. Then I started using the Titanium White to pick out the teeth one by one, got bored, and overbrushed them them with it instead. Finally I did a Vallejo Mecha Satin Varnish coat over the carapace because I think the gloss varnish coat over the second one is way too much. I like the second and third better than the first, but don't really like any of 'em much. The drybrush is chalky and the application of Basilicanum Grey looks dirty. I can see how to further improve but it would involve breaking out the actual Painting Infrastructure, and I don't feel like deploying a wet palette or filling my apartment with aibrush paint particulate right now. Pretty sure ThirdEyeNuke is using, like, Tamiya Clear Red for the red around the mouths or something, and applying the grey-white flesh with an airbrush instead of a drybrush, maybe using oils for definition in the ribcage crevices. Back to Destiny 2!

I recently got a bunch of stuff done after having to take a bit of a break from painting around the end of last year. My bathroom renovation went from supposedly lasting one month to three.  I finished up the crew for my Earthshaker battery. The second gun is missing a shell cradle, my attempt at converting one was a huge failure. I'll add that eventually if I manage to construct one.       I got a Sicarian squad based. I really like these spindly monster dudes.  And finally, I painted a Krieg squad. I stole the colour scheme from someone here, hope you don't mind unknown person. I really like it, I think it was supposed to be based on some kind of WWI Ottoman uniform. They were supposed to be a veteran squad for my IG army, but with the new codex I guess I'll have to rip a meltagun off one of the dudes.     I'm working on a Cargo-8 Ridgehauler conversion right now, as a prime mover to haul the Earthshakers around. Are there any current rules for a Trojan? I doubt I'll use it much, except as terrain. It's too lightly armed to work as a counts as Chimera.
