As someone who knows BTP is poo poo, that "upgrade" looks horrible. Sure, just slap on blood spatter without regard to the lines of the figure or whether the placement makes sense. Make everything all gritty and grubby even though it'll just look like bad paint from tabletop distance.

Edit: I mean, they actually painted in details which is important, but the new scheme is just too visually busy.

That plus emotional, time, and monetary investment. But I both like this and have autism, so I might not be a good source.

The nice thing about Vallejo air is that you could actually brush them right out of the bottle. It's extremely helpful for when I don't have my thinner mix.

On that note, what's a good thinner to use? The terminology of this poo poo is confusing. Why does paint thinner destroy paint instead of thin it?

60 water, 15 blending/retarder medium, and 25 acrylic flow release is a good start. Add more retarder fluid and less water as you start blending. If by destroy you mean lose its water adhesion, then yes that's what it does. It makes it easier to apply paint when they don't form puddles everywhere. It's more runny and easier (and harder) to apply so it's like painting with water colors.

Wow that's complicated. Haven't even painted my first miniature yet, largely because every single time I'm about to start there's apparently some new step with the paint in the bottle not actually being a finished product or the primer not liking the weather or the kits including accessories that the models aren't actually allowed to use. Next I'll have to praise the freaking machine spirit in the brushes before every brush stroke. The barrier to entry in this hobby is really irritating.

Thanks for all the encouraging words, guys. rkajdi said it better than I could.

If you have any clamshell-packed miniatures that came with foam (like Warmachine comes in), you're 90% of the way to having a wet pallet. Cut a square of baking paper to fit, wet the foam, and squish it into the blister with the baking paper.
Already bought the materials to make a wet pallet, based on advice from the painting thread.

Please make a scrunt. The lowly scrunt is the best first model almost all of us have missed out on, don't miss out on it yourself!

One of the passengers tried to get out through the port, got stuck, and they had to pull him out and leave the armor in place. Everyone calls him "Square Peg Greg" now. Sometimes they hide booze in the suit.

This coming from a guy who clearly gets off on basing miniatures in tiny confections.

That's got to be a sex thing.

No, you just think it is because you let your wank fodder leak into everything you do, and refuse to see anything wrong with that. Get some god drat self respect and stop pretending your defense of misogynistic and gore filled porn miniatures is some sort of fight against puritanism.

This thread is for making fun of bad miniatures. KD make bad miniatures. I'm sorry people criticizing them upsets you so much.

So the top says "Walk of Death", but what does the harness say? "Trak my Doom"?
