Speaking of Contrasts paints, Duncan uploaded a video about them today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJGqInWb2yo The main thing I got from this that I probably been applying them incorrectly.

I just need to be more even in the application in my case. Even if the splotchy stuff can look good in some cases like I thought it did with the lizardmen I painted using it last month. Just never been able to get smooth coverage with it because I apply it like normal paint. As far as I can remember the official GW guides never really mentioned that.

So before COVID-19 gave us safe at home, my FLGS was doing a painting competition for those of all skill levels, and i thought what better way to mark like my first six months of painting than by entering. I don't know if the contest is still going to occur since the deadline was April 30th and Wisconsin just extended our safer at home to the end of May, but I thought I would share it here.     He was mostly done with contrast paints, with Flesh Tearers and Blood Angel Red on the body, Fyreslayer flesh for the arms, and magos purple for the wings. Everything else was done with basic paints. I like how he turned out. He hasn't been varnished yet, so if anyone has any suggestions I could easily add more paint. I don't really play tabletop D and D, so unless I have him as a "count as" for 40k, I was probably going to just use him as a display piece.

What if you drilled into the chest and embedded magnets and then green puttied some new titty flesh to cover it? Removeable tit horns.

nipple horns unironically own. chaos are the villains of the setting, and like true villains their greatest strength is in presentation

Safety Factor posted:[citation needed] I feel like every time that miniature came up there'd be a page of bitching about the nipple horns. But that was mostly a year or two ago so maybe positions have evolved. I'm pretty neutral re: nipple horns, but overall I think he's too plain bare chested.

I've been using two dozen brushes that I got from Hobby Lobby for like 3 dollars and a single GW small layer brush for the last six or seven years and they're still going fine.

Probably either the Cawdor or the Delaque I say Cawdor, I've always had a soft spot for the crazy monks. Those hoods are too cool. The new Delaques don't really speak to me, I like the old-school cyberpunk feel of the 90s versions a lot more.

i am about to base three inceptors and was wondering if the flight stands are as bad as they look? If so would a magnet work to fix them or it is easier to drill and pin them to a piece of wall (cork)?
