berzerkmonkey posted:Xuron talk: Is there any way to sharpen the blades up a bit? Mine seem to dull really quickly just cutting sprue. I've tried with no luck, the main problem I have is that the jaws eventually get slightly bent and now the whole thing doesn't cut anymore. I've heard the tamiya ones have a better pivot and don't do that as quickly.

Are you cutting large sprue frame with them? That'll kill them. Apparently Amazon is awash with fake Xuron / Godhand stuff too, so might be that.

Quick question for the thread, I'm going to give Zenithal priming a try so I need to buy 3 new cans of spraypaint. I remember a couple people saying that the paints you grab from you local home depot or whatever are just as good as the Games Workshop® Chaos Black™ (or other for-miniatures spray), is this true? Can I save several dollars by getting the cheap cans?

In the UK I'm a fan of Halfords spray primers (automotive ones), especially the grey, for other brands have a google and see what people recommend, but generally yes other cheap ones are fine, and often much better both in quality and value.

Duplicolor Black, Grey, and White are all amazing in the US (car part stores). Their grey is more of a German Grey as opposed to a neutral grey.

Did a step by step for bullet pings. 1. Rough spots of brown laid down with irregular spacing. 2. Smaller spot of black (thinned 1:1 w/ satin glaze medium) put in middle of brown spots.  3. Thinned base color dabbed on bottom edge of black spot. 4. Another dot of black put in center of mark. Dot of white put underneath black.

 Got some solo photos with my Iconward. Anyone got any C&C they could offer me? I've got a couple units under my belt at this point so I've got the basic process down so now I need to look at more techniques going forward.

Hixson posted:Idk what that means I think they're saying that the rust or paint chips or whatever are larger than they would be in real life. I actually like that style, but it's a little more "comic-book" than pure realism. It works well on gaming figures since you're generally at arm's length when looking at them, but you'd probably go a lot "finer" for a historical model (e.g. using a little sponge to dab flecks of rust onto surfaces).

On something the size of a titan you'd be getting surface spalling all over the place in reaction to hits of the magnitude they're dealing with. The weathering is entirely appropriate, and looks great.

Hixson posted:I see. Well that’s just straight up not true. Thanks for the kind words regardless I looked back and I think Luminaflare's post got me a bit confused. I thought the irregular black patches were representing superficial paint damage that had accumulated over time (e.g. scratches from debris thrown up by explosions); in that case, I'd have expected to see smaller dots surrounding the bigger patches where just a little paint had flaked off. When I looked more closely, I saw that you were adding some highlights around a lot of the black patches, so it's supposed to be deeper damage that the Titan just shrugged off, right? I haven't done GW stuff in a long time, so I don't remember enough to have a good picture in my head of what specifically would cause damage patterns like that; I know there's all kinds of crazy weapons in 40k, but I don't remember any specifics. I guess I can't really comment on the "realism" angle then.  Hell, I'm not even really sure the in-universe colors on Titans are made via paint!Anyway sorry for adding to the confusion; it looks rad!

In universe titans do things like throw tanks and bits of buildings at each other, occasionally.

I’d like to think the weathering on titans is more from actual weather. Concentrated acid rain, electrical storms, all the Hive World goodness of climates run amock.

I have to be honest, I kinda agree. It's extremely well done but it feels like the scaling on it is just a little off somehow - but at that point it's like complaining that a five star meal could have used just a few more grains of salt in the sauce.

The lens is just based black with a crescent moon shaped highlight of dark red, another with a bright red, then a yellow stripe in the corner. Then add a white dot in the upper corner and add a gloss coat

That's a great point as well. Titans also fight in space and on volcano death worlds, so there's no end of debris of all sizes that can potentially hit them and gently caress up their paint.

Besides if we want to actually poke holes in Hixson's model we can point out that it has a Legio Mortis emblem even though that's not the correct paint scheme for Mortis in m31.

That's a good point. I've always liked weathering/battle damage the best when it tells a story. Like a unit originally deployed on some airless planet/moon for a long time and quickly redeployed to a dusty world before there was time to do cosmetic maintenance? That would show a specific pattern of weathering. Or maybe one deployed somewhere with a highly-corrosive environment, etc. Even within an army you have an opportunity to do really different styles of weathering. Close quarters/melee units would probably have different kinds of cosmetic damage than backline artillery, since they'd be taking hits from different kinds of enemies. The melee units would probably have some slashes where swords and stuff bit in, but the artillery would have damage from explosive weapons or other long-range fire.

Y'know, you would think for having maintenance teams of literal cult-like work devotion and hordes of lobotomized servitor-labor the Imperium could at least keep the paint spruced up on their invaluable god-machines so they don't look like a 20+ year old farm tractor.
