darnon posted:Scale has some new Fluor paints that I've been considering trying. I picked them up on a whim, they take a couple of coats over white to get an even finish (at least the ones I've used so far) but that's via regular brush. I painted these glowy little bastards with them: https://www.instagram.com/p/BveYj-pBFVp/ That's the green, orange and purple with GW washes for shading.

Sab669 posted:What exactly is the difference between an ink and a wash? As far as I understand it, washes are thinned down a lot more. In general: Inks are better at glazing, where you want to tint an entire surface. Washes are better for shading, where you just want to darken recesses and leave the main surfaces largely untouched.

I also painted a large angry robot. It's not as nice as Booley's but it is larger and angrier at least

I've found army painter to be a mixed bag so far. The 3 base washes (Dark, Strong, Soft) are pretty drat good, most of the coloured washes are fine but I've had some issue with the purple one acting more like a glaze at times without a bunch of extra thinning. The paints I've used have been mostly fine. Plate mail is a good solid metal. I've had some issues with red and yellow being absurdly thin but I could just have a bad batch.

I love Klukva's stuff, once I'm back in gainful employment it'll be hard not throwing them some money for their not-Darksiders stuff. Kinda wish they were in 28mm scale though, they'd make excellent character minis for D&D.

Two Beans posted:There's nothing special about the primer. They're just off-white with one being warm toned and the other being cold toned. I thought they had a slight satin finish too to help the contrast flow?

Of course they do. Their modus operandi is to take good ideas from other companies and rip them off then try and force their competitors out of the market.

I get that it's a marketing stunt for the series but for the amount he's paid on shipping and import taxes by now Squidmar could have just loving bought the titan and been done with it.

Cat Face Joe posted:They sold through the stock of these before they updated it too. Also they went through a phase of canceling any order if the buyer had a Chinese name. Other scummy behaviour from GSW: * Taking ideas from smaller producers, stealing them and rushing through the patent (Spanish patent law is ridiculous) so they can make their own versions and get the originals shut down. IIRC they did this with the texture rollers and tube making kits. * Getting YouTube channels pulled down because of hurt feelings over the 'Colorshift' trademark. * Taking pictures from artists portfolios without permission and using them to advertise their products.

Muir posted:I'd be curious to read more about this if you have a link to share about it. I'm assuming this would just be within Spain, since a Spanish patent isn't going to help them anywhere in the rest of the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhIEilBD-mQ has some details. Turns out I misremembered, the patent trolling was the tube tool and leaf punches and not the texture rollers (though I'm sure I read _somewhere_ about those being a stolen idea too). Essentially they abuse the fact that they are a semi-big company and can easily afford the 500 Euro fee to submit applications to the EU patent office which is in the same location as them to force smaller competitors to stop selling as they can't afford the tens of thousands of Euro it takes to fight the legal battles against them.

lilljonas posted:Me buying some AP bottles ten years ago and all of them being watery inconsistent poo poo paint ingrained that impression in me. I can only assume I'm not the only one. Yeah early AP stuff could be pretty hit or miss, I had a few in the starter set with basically no coverage, but they've definitely been improving over time. Looking forward to seeing how the 'fanatic' range works out!
