Aristocrat posted:Has anyone had any luck stripping X-Wing minis? I didn't have much luck with stripping, only certain parts of the paint would come off. I don't think X-Wing minis come out of the box with acrylic paint jobs I still had success by putting a light base coat over the existing paint

Silhouette posted:The only GW paints I miss are flip-top bolter shell Catachan Green and Foundation Iyanden Darksun. When mine run out, i'll probably cry. I pour out a bit of wash each time I paint in memory of my old pot of Charadon Granite, my favorite paint. It was a curious mutant greenbrowngray that seemed to just work well with anything. http://fromthewarp.blogspot.com/2012/05/my-replacement-for-charadon-granite.html

Maybe someone can help me. Since I no longer play Warhammer, I don't have to stick to methods that are conducive to speed painting, so I'm expanding my repertoire of skills. I finally got a really nice detail brush and cleaner and all that jazz. I'm having some trouble tho. In the past, I've always thinned my paint with just water, but I'm experimenting with flow improver and medium, but so far they just don't seem to work as well. I'm trying different ratios, but the paint is either too watery, or dries with a visible, raised texture. What gives?

berzerkmonkey posted:I think those probably look quite good, though it's hard to tell in the expanded photos - your focus is way off. Some of them are a year old or more and they're GW pots but the consistency still seems okay. I gave all my pots a good stir. About the retarder: I come up with conflicting search results. Is medium and retarder the same thing? No, right?

Avenging Dentist posted:If all it's doing is reducing contrast, isn't that (roughly) equivalent to adding the appropriate amount of paint from your filter color to each of your layer colors? Based on what Gareth says, it's something more than that. You might get a different "sheen" (for lack of a better word) by adding a filter, but I'm having a hard time understanding how it helps smooth a blend in a way that pre-mixing the filter into your layer colors wouldn't. Its more that, no matter how perfectly you pick your colors at the start, you usually need to unify at the end. This is common in digital art, where the base colors are approximated, the shading and lighting is added, and then chunks (or the whole shebang) is tinted in a single color so that every color in the composition shares some value with every other color

goodness posted:Are there more fantasy options in 10mm or 15mm? I've been collecting a small catalog of what's available. Alot of it is old and the sculpts are poor and its very tough to find good pictures. Here's a list of some best places to shop Copplestone: http://www.copplestonecastings.co.uk/list.php?cat=18&page=1 Superb 15mm minis, but its only barbarians and some dwarfs. They also have a good 10mm range. Demonworld: http://www.ralparthaeurope.co.uk/shop/demonworld-15mm-c-76/ The range is 20 years old but huge, with sculpt quality at both ends of the spectrum. Usually have good pictures so you can tell what you're getting. Khurasan: http://khurasanminiatures.tripod.com/15mmfantasy.html Some decent and lots of meh. The skeletons look like the best 15mm skellies I've seen, and plan to pick some up Splinteredlight: http://www.splinteredlightminis.com/ Another wide range, but its mostly bad. There's some good sculpts lurking in there but they're hard to find because the paintjobs are often not great. (special note, they are gonna be offering these soon: http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=421449 and they look baller) 15mm.co.uk: http://www.15mm.co.uk/ A few good things here, and plenty of weird and miserable sculpts Battle Valor Games: http://www.battlevalorgames.com/ New kid on the block, putting out new stuff pretty regularly and building a large range. Sculpt quality seems average, but I think it'll improve over time You can pad some of this out with historical 15mm, but beware scale creep!

Vitamin P posted:The 15mm Frostgrave temptation is growing, what are you using as bases for your dudes? Reaper 20mm round http://www.miniaturemarket.com/rpr74041.html They're good bases for 15 mm stuff, but the demon world minis are sculpted onto 10mm round already. So I either remove that base or create an insert into the reaper base. Lotta extra work, so I would recommend looking for something else if get demon world minis. The demon world and blight haven stuff at Ral Partha is really good overall. You can get single minis, command groups and hero collections for reasonable prices which are perfect for skirmish games.

Nothing was better than grandma's bases. As soon as we stepped into the kitchen, you'd see hundreds of them freshly baked, gently flocked and precisely ranked. Each of us got a movement tray's worth. Grandma's gone now, but her bases don't have to be. Moola's Easy Bake Bases™

Zaphod42 posted:I like the thin lines on your orc's pants. I'm about to paint my freebooterz and I was worried about trying to paint consistent sized lines but that seems a little easier for me to pull off. I shaded and highlighted the yellow before I painted the stripes, but if I do it again, I think I would rather just put the base coat on and then add the red lines, and highlight around it. Easier to correct mistakes that way
