Great thread so far guys keep it up. Finished up some Stormtroopers from my Imperial Assault box and all I have to say is thank god for airbrushing white or else I would've lost my goddamn mind (I almost did after seeing the mold lines after I applied the white). C&C is always welcome.

Looking awesome dude.

Yeah that is mega dumb. Lets charge people to experience a really great promotional tool.

Why not? They've been charging people to experience a poor-to-middling promotional tool for decades.

New Citadel brushes are up:



They range from £3.50 for the Small Base to £12 for the XS "Artificer Layer" one.

e: That's $AU34 ahahaha

Literally more expensive than a W&N Series 7.

I can probably replace the blue wash but Charadon is irreplaceable.

Try Vallejo's Heavy Charcoal.

He cool. I especially like the texture of the chipping, it's just the right size for the mini. Did you sponge it?

I did, very lightly with some Heavy Charcoal on the backing foam from an Infinity mini :v: In my test models I found it was really easy to go overboard with it and I thought less is more with this guy. As it was he's very close to too much chipping. I'm going to do 5 more Mk IV guys with the same technique and see how they turn out.

I sealed my corks and bought some Vallejo black lava-asphalt. It's dark but I figure once I start dry brushing and add some ice/snow it'll be a truly Fenrisian Christmas :)

The fancy bases I'll do separately and then add the models but I think the troops will just get painted and I'll add the basing texture as they are. Seems simple enough not to gently caress it up.

I use black lava for my stinky bois and it rules. You can shape and sculpt it as it's drying to make all sorts of shapes and flows and the grain is perfect for the scale of our space dolls. I usually lightly glue the figure to the bare base, paint the man, then snap it off and then build up and paint the base. You'll probably want to pin at least one foot though, I've had models come off their base and take a chunk of the black lava with them.

This guy was an experiment in doing super lazy black coats. Airbrushed VMC Black Grey with a very light zenithal spray of VMA Cold Grey. Then did an all over spray of AP Dark Tone mixed 50-50 with airbrush thinner and a little brush application of the same after it was dry to push some shadows. Finally a Dullcote varnish to kill any gloss. I think it worked well.

Do you guys ever have problems with your zenithal coming off? I'll prime the whole thing with black spray primer, then used fw ink grey then white for highlights, but when painting and blending spots of white and gray will come off showing black. I'm not painting roughly, waiting for things to dry (hairdryer as required). It's frustrating and looks like poo poo.

Try sealing your zenithal layers with a coat of matte varnish before painting further.
