Max Wilco posted:The baking thing makes sense, it's more the handling I'd be worried about. Cat litter is good for larger bits of rubble, but make sure not to touch it once it gets wet, because it's clay and will break apart. Once dry, it's rock solid though. I usually use it for areas of rubble where walls and floors meet on terrain, and for a little bit of size variation in addition to sand and gravel on mini bases.

I painted these Harlequin zombies. This was an oppertunity to play with my brand new vallejo verdigris wash and dry rust effect. I am really happy with the verdigris and i think the rust looks good on chainmail, but i struggled a bit to get it to look ok on flat surfaces like axes and plate mail.

Werix posted:I want you to know this looks good, as someone who recently painted a lot of Thousand Sons. My one "regret" was doing stripes on the head crests. I use quotes because it turned out good (wash hides a multitude of sins) but it would have been much easier to do solid color on those. Thanks! My regret (which I'm fixing) is trying to outline those V shaped indents on the corners of the shoulder armor instead of filling in the inside with the same color. On the sorcerer they were easy and well defined, but on the Marines themselves they're not. Even the picture on the front of the box has them filled in.

Is anyone here aware of an affordable texture gel with a similar grit and consistency to Citadel's Astrogranite texture paint? I'm looking to mostly cover a 6x4 gaming table with it, to match the consistency of my Warhammer bases, but buying 100 pots of astrogranite for the purpose would be ridiculous expensive even for a games workshop consumer. Pre-colored doesn't matter as I'll spray the board anyway, but matching grit size and sculptability is important for consistency's sake.

I use Valejo Black Lava-Asphalt, it creates a really good looking rough texture like astrogranite but it’s jet black. Might still be too expensive for a huge board though, so it might be better to buy powdered pumice stone and mix it with cheap craft paint to make your own.

For bulk work like that you might want to look into truck bed spray liner, liquitex resin sand, or an equal parts PVA / sand / flour / paint / water mix.

Best basing sand I've ever used is the poo poo that accumulates in parking lots. It's enough different grades that it looks pretty natural, and the price is right, too.

Alokgen posted:X posting 40k These are beautifully painted! My one critique is that most of the tones appear to be on the lighter side, so everything feels a little desaturated. But that may ultimately come down to personal taste. Oh, and also: female marines are rad as gently caress.

It took two batches and several months, but I finished my Veteran Intercessor squad. Used some Assault Intercessor bodies on the second batch, so the whole squad has a ton of great dynamism.   Gallery: https://imgur.com/a/OBSrSZi

It won't puff out the cardboard like a water- based paint might, and it might help you make things somehow even more perfect. Seriously, this is fantastic.

Vallejo Metal Color is the best by far along with some of the Scale 75 metallics, especially the golds. Your NMM looks fantastic, but in my opinion it's not just a straight replacement for TMM. Different styles for different projects.

When I'm making a glaze using glaze medium what should the consistency be? Should I only use glaze medium or should I add a bit of flow improver?

He doesn't seem to use a medium, only water. My problem has to do with using medium since the medium only seems to thicken the paint so I'm wondering if I should thin it way down anyway with flow improver or water. If that's the case of having to use a ton of thinner what's the point of the medium.
