Cheers dude, much appreciated  The blade wasn't hugely complicated, and you could make it as easy or hard as you want depending on the level of blending. 50/50 basecoat leadbelcher/abaddon black. Thin your paints! Blend up to pure leadbelcher on the blade bit with a really properly watered down leadbelcher. So you can bearly see the layer but it dries within seconds. It builds up quickly though. Sounds like hard work, but we're talking maybe 4 layers and 45 seconds work? The top flat curved surface done the same, nothing else touched Do the same with pure chainmail, only on the edge of the blade, again this was only 2/3 layers maybe? At this point i did the edge highlighting in pure chainmail, almost all side of brush stuff. The only hard bit was the line along the side of the blade as that's just hold your breath steady hand stuff Now the fun bit - made 2 glazes of beastial brown and liche purple using lahmian medium (love that stuff). Put it on in patches all over, purple first and not being afraid to overlap. The colour will be dulled but the blending should show through. You're not washing here, so don't go mad, you want it sitting on the flat surfaces. Finally blop some Nihilakh Oxide on a few bits and bobs

You can wash coal black with nuln oil too for a quick job, great stuff Probably the only paint outside the GW range I use regularly

Unless you want everything in your life to smell of dettol for a long time, really don't use it Not sure what the current recommended thing is, but it isn't dettol

I have an incredibly masculine setup as befits this noble hobby I struggle to paint under a lamp, so it's always a window for me e: the tea in that pot is an oolong called IRON GODDESS OF MERCY  and it has a light apricot flavour Skarsnik fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Jul 15, 2015 |

Bachtere posted:That's great all around. Love the metallics though, especially the sword. The Sisko posted:That is goddamn amazing. May I ask how you did the marble because it looks so perfect? Thanks! As far as the marble went, I read every guide I could find, didn't really like any of them, so combined a few ideas and mostly winged it. From what i can remember:
Watered down some nuln oil with lahmian medium. Blopped it onto the surface, not as a wash, but so it was sitting as a proper pudddle a cm or so across. A large brushes worth, in points all over the surface. Left it for 5 mins or so, then sucked out the liquid from the centre with a dry brush so all that was left was the tide marks from the edges (the thing you'd normally try to avoid when washing!). I then did the same with Hormaguant purple, in the spaces in between the black. So that left lots of black/purple patches with thicker lines all joined together all over the surface Sponged all over Tallarn Sand, up to the point only really the strongest of the dark lines could be seen. Went back over some of the lines with charondon granite, following the existing lines, but really not doing too many. Sponge with Dheneb Stone, Sponged with Screaming Skull (because they were still on my palette from the first bit) Sponge with Dheneb Stone + White Scar, and then again with more White Scar mixed in. Recess shade with thinned Abaddon Black / Rhinox Hide At this point it looked kinda chalky, so I gave a couple of decent coats of Microsol Micro flat, which is a very slightly glossy varnish. Airbrushed, but it could be brushed on too. Edge highlight with skull white, just drybrushed on to the edges Skarsnik fucked around with this message at 07:40 on Jul 24, 2015 |

The thinner is for an airbrush, it doesn't really work well as a medium though The matt medium is the posh water replacement you want ^it will thin your paints, its what I use cos I'm posh

I've been thinning my paints (the third definition of it above, although 2 and 3 are really the same thing) with Vallejo matt medium for a while now. It thins it out without the pigment separating out like water can. Maybe 80% of my painting is done with it If I want to do some 'proper' wet blending I'll use glaze medium instead If I'm making a wash or glaze, I use Lahmian medium I've found the vellejo thinner doesn't work so well as it separates out on your pallet (i.e, not a good medium). Through an airbrush though its perfect I apparently get good results from this, so if I'm doing it all wrong, then I dunno Skarsnik fucked around with this message at 23:52 on Sep 14, 2015 |

SRM posted:While it sucks that the old tutorials on GW's site are gone, there's honestly enough free stuff and enough tutorials out there that you can find a good number of alternatives. If you want to learn how to paint Imperial Fists, you can find a dozen different methods from blogs, forums, and videos from just a cursory Googling. There was a nice consistency to them though, so you could grab little bits from each to work on different stuff. It all fitted together like painting lego A huge amount of my stuff was based off all those guides, and though I may not need them now it was such a great reference

Looks pretty good for a first attempt to me Its one of those things that'll get better with practice If you've got an actual sharp edge on the model, using the side of the brush instead of the point makes it a load easier too
