I'm Jewish and care a lot about how people handle the Holocaust, and I actually don't have a problem with AK's project. You can see the listing for the book on their site still, actually: https://ak-interactive.com/product/condemnation-when-modeling-becomes-art-and-art-is-a-social-denounce/ It wasn't just focused on the Holocaust, it was focused on genocides and other atrocities and human tragedies (a child drowning, an IV drug user injecting). I believe they were sincere when they said they undertook the project to highlight these atrocities to condemn them (hence the title of the book). It struck me similarly to this fantastic Goonhammer article on playing a tabletop wargame as, for example, Nazi Germany: https://www.goonhammer.com/goonhammer-historicals-butterflies-pinned-to-a-board-or-why-we-play-the-baddies/ At most they're misguided artists, not neo-Nazis.

If gravity is working against you, hold the model upside down. And yeah, do a droplet, not a thin coat.

Lumpy posted:They make two different titanium whites, one is a heavy body. That could explain it.... I have both, and I'm talking about the regular one. It still smooths up real nice with a touch of water, but it's noticeably thicker out of the bottle than the other colors. tehsid posted:

AndyElusive posted:What Pro Acryl metallics do you suggest? I mean, they're all great. But a good gold seems hard to find, and Rich Gold is excellent. You won't miss Retributor Armor. Maybe Vallejo's silver is better than Pro Acryl's? But they're both drat good.

My local GW store is having monthly painting competitions with the model of the month. This month the theme is "corruption." As a lifelong Space Wolves player, I relished the chance to gently caress up a Dark Angel, and I thought Genestealer Cults was a more original direction to take than just Chaos. Here's my WIP so far. I'm planning on using Contrast paints for the head and arm. I'm torn between the classic Genestealer colors (purple skin, dark blue chitin) and my own GSC army colors (orange skin, bright blue chitin).

Well, I was having a lot of fun with the model and just kept painting. I think I'm done with it for now but may add a little dude later. Thanks everybody for the input. I did go with the Dark Angels tattoo on the forehead to bring home that this is a former Space Marine and not just a genestealer in some stolen armor. I also went with the classic colors as it made sense to keep that consistent. I love the blood on the hammer but am less sold on the splatter on the armor.

Test model for my Soulblight Gravelords color scheme is done, I'm pretty sure I like it. For the rank and file, say skeletons, I'll have purple cloth and silver armor with heavy verdigris to bring the teal notes in. For the basing I'm going for an otherworldly black sand beach with snow. The sand looks blacker in person. Feedback welcome!

I spray at ~20 psi, I do it inside an airbrush box but without the fans hooked up and the paint dust stays confined to the box just fine. For myself I wear a respirator.

armorer posted:I have absolutely no idea, but also I didn't see Turbo Dork mentioned in the OP paint section but one of my local stores carries them. Anyone know if they're decent? They're mostly known for their color shift paints, which are quite good (though like most color shift, they have specific application requirements and are best airbrushed). Their regular metallics are good too, though not necessarily any better than Vallejo or Pro Acryl or whoever. They're going through an update to their line right now. They have great customer support and the owners are active in their Facebook group (and the mother of one of them is their test painter and answers lots of questions).

SkyeAuroline posted:Quick advice check. I started painting my Legionary kill team last night, for my own chapter, not anything official. Only got as far as basecoating most of the armor and the head, but put it up for some friends to see how it was looking: I mean, removing the normal Imperial symbols and adding fur is pretty Space Wolf. Alternative Space Wolf paint schemes tend toward the plain gray (like the only successor chapter, the Wolfspear, or like Horus Heresy era Space Wolves), but blue isn't that far off. It's not like it's green or red or something. If it were all white or white/red I'd probably get White Scars vibes.

Maybe I'll just go over it since I haven't gotten to any of the complex parts yet and it's still thin. Freehand on some lightning bolts, I think that'll help a lot.

Five Blood Knights done. Boy that's a lot of edges to highlight. SkyeAuroline posted:I liked Cease's barcode idea and applied it as a shoulder marking here, and as a chest marking on the previous model since her shoulders are covered. Went fairly light with the markings on this one, but still thinking on how to iterate on them. Not sealed yet either, so I can go back if needed. I think this guy is more distinct from the wolfy heritage, even if he does have a stereotypically wolfy head. Definitely looking less wolfy, congratulations.
