Yeast posted:Yep, thin it down like any other paint, and it owns. If you do this, though, make sure to play around with different levels of "more medium." There's very much a point with Golden's crackle medium where you're spreading the stuff around like frosting and end up with basically no cracks. A 1mm or 1.5mm coat is about right in my experience, and that's much thinner than I thought it would be. Very thick if you're used to applying paint, thin if you're feeling buttercream.

and mix whatever colour you want in. Add more medium for bigger cracks, add less if you want smaller.

Bucnasti posted:What's so special about their drybrushes? LIke are they better than cheap makeup brushes in some way? They're very dense and not as soft as a makeup brush which lets them hold a lot of paint and AO's method isn't really "drybrushing" per se because you want to keep some moisture in the bristles and is really more like Stippling En Masse than dry brushing.

It's both. If you watch the latest video Byron explains that he starts of stippling as the brush contains more paint and that gives him more control over it, and moves on to more vigorous drybrushing as there is less and less paint in the brush.

Speedpainted this Terminator to get an idea for my colour scheme and also cause I need to just get some painted bodies on the table so I can play some 10th. I think I used too much turquoise for the body to be considered black and I ended up layering too much white so I lost depth on the shoulders. Maybe I'll try drybrushing the white layers so I don't obliterate it with layers.

Muir posted:If they are just rebranded Rosemary and Co, that's one hell of a mark-up. Why would I get any of the Artis Opus brushes rather than just buying the Rosemary equivalents? Same reason people buy branded air compressors instead of cheaper "off-brand" ones that are made in the same factory. Commodity fetishization.

Indolent Bastard posted:Whut? quote:Hey wait, doesn’t Artis Opus sell brush sets and accessories with Goonhammer branding on them? They sure do. And isn’t weird to review a product you have a business relationship with? It sure can be. Goonhammer’s relationship with Artis Opus started with Raf’s review of drybrushes, a very standard situation in which Artis Opus sent him some brushes to review. As you can see, he loved them and from that a new partnership grew. I think its a little silly to pull a "this product is so good that we can't be biased even with a partnership deal" I don't begrudge goonhammer for doing a partnership with Artist Opus but feels slightly off publishing reviews alongside it even with the above disclaimer. Feels like there's probably a slightly more elegant way to do it! Maybe just ditch the reviews and just talk up your collab and why and how you use those brushes?

Although it would’ve been pretty funny to have a negative review on a co-branded product. Not sure what anyone would expect otherwise

To actually contribute, I kickstarted 2 sets of the original Artis Opus series S and they’re.. fine? It’s a premium price, it’s a good product, but I personally prefer Raphael 8404s for having a proper sized belly so you’re not having to load the brush as much, but it’s more personal preference. Nice handles on the Opus too

I’ve been painting an old metal Warboss for fun and I’m trying to use some paints in my collection that don’t get a lot of use. I decided to trying putting down a layer of Typhus Corrosion on some metal before painting them and it gives a very nice, subtle suggestion that this is lovely rusty metal that has been painted (not a self own!). I also cracked open my Corax White for the first time and was amazed at its coverage, which is more damning for the rest of Citadel’s whites than it is praise for Corax.

With that off my plate, maybe I should actually learn how to play Kill Team.

Working on some infiltrators. Think i'm gonna have to rethink the grenade and hilt-colours, maybe just go with more black for the latter Feel like I'm starting to get a better grip at drybrushing, which is nice!

I think the only reason most grenades are green is because they use a paint they already have on hand and to match uniforms. The german stick grenade had grey and green versions of it produced over its life, and some world war 1 grenades were silver/metallic, so it certainly seems like in the future where folks are running around with bright outfits without a hint of green that having grenades that are non-green would not be an issue. I bet they look good!

Yeah, I have no idea where I got that from, but it was like, yeeeeears ago, and it works pretty drat well. It can be a little fiddly trying to get the eyes to be looking the same way, but that's just the issue with doing eyes in general anyway, so  . I left them at my shop to show off, but I'll probably grab them tomorrow and try the nuln oil as a pin wash for those, see if that helps them stand out a little more. Kylaer posted:Pigma balls
