Finished another dude for my raven guard infiltrator squad, except this time it's a Raptors' Deathwatch member on secondment or attached to the squad. Or something lore-adjacent. I just really wanted to use the DW shoulder pad, and since it's on the left shoulder he'd be an active deathwatch member, and as such  Anyway,      e: I finally put in an order for microsol/set and I'm not touching a decal again until those arrive. Getting it to say Raptor on the shoulderpad was also a nightmare- a lot of adepta sororitas unit names from their decal sheet were injured in the making of this mini Bohemian Nights fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Mar 4, 2024 |

Aniodia posted:Figure I'd ask, since I'm looking to start painting up my Phobos Strike Team as Deathwatch, and you have some pretty decent black armor, what'd your recipe? I've seen a few different ones in various places, and having a few different schemes to choose from isn't a bad thing. Sure! I'll give it a try, but I'm very much a novice, and might not have the painting vocabulary to describe my process in a way that'll be useful, but I'll try: My method is pretty drybrush heavy, and is done entirely with scale75's Flat Black, Eclipse Grey and Graphite, which all finish really matte, which I appreciate I start off basecoating with flat black, thinned with lahmian medium, then move on to drybrushing with a small, round drybrush. I make a new mix of flat black and eclipse grey, about 60/40, and heavily drybrush that on any surface that would catch light- I then dilute that mix with progressively more eclipse gray, until you're basically working with 100% eclipse. The more eclipse grey I add to the mix, the lighter I go on the drybrushing, and the more I try to focus on just the edges. For the last drybrushing pass, I add a bit of the lightest grey, graphite, and wipe off pretty much all of it before applying it to the model-- I've hosed up this step before, where I just end up caking light grey and ruining any gradient I had going, so take care. We're probably talking five or so rounds of drybrushing After all the drybrushing is done, I move on to edge highlighting, and I basically repeat the way I mixed the paints for the drybrushing, but all of it is thinned with generous amounts of lahmian medium. Starting off with thick lines,, and the closer I get to graphite, the smaller the line. After hightlighting, I use a soft brush and cover the entire thing in thin layer of stormshield, which obviously varnishes, but also somewhat smooths out the transitions. Then I do a final highlighting pass with graphite, trying to just hit the extreme, top-facing edges with the side of my brush

I believe I mentioned it, but I only just got microsol for the first time yesterday and it's a whole new world. I've tried to make decals work with just water and it's been a serious struggle

Ominous Jazz posted:I mean microsol and set Oh! I thought you were making fun of me for my ignorance :P Microset and microsol are a pair of products that, respectively, prepare the surface for the decal and softens up the decal to adhere to uneven and curved surfaces Here's a super short eons of battle video on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2N9PTCsuJw I went back and touched up every single decal I've applied previously and they basically just melted perfectly to their surfaces (unless I'd already applied varnish over the decal)

Finished a new infiltrator and since I found a nice way to light the minis, I snapped some proper pictures of my last couple while I was at it:    silencer wobbly so what, how you gonna silence a self-propelled round. Maybe that's why he looks so pissed         Feel like I'm starting to get the hang of the armor looking uniform without it taking infinite hours per mini, pretty satisfied with where it's at right now

Dr. Red Ranger posted:Is it a little sloppy? Yes; I need to figure out how to control my brush strokes a bit better. Probably related to my poor handwriting. He looks great! Especially love the face and glowy eyes, and if there's sloppy lines, it works for the model anyway But I really hope handwriting and painting skills are unrelated, because I hit my handwriting skill ceiling at age 10 and still exclusively write in ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME!

There's probably good 3rd party apps too, but I know that at least galaxy S23 has a normal and "pro" mode in the camera app, where the latter lets you control focus, shutter speed, iso and white balance, which I guess is all you need to get decent pictures

I have gotten to the point we all eventually get to, perhaps sitting with a power drill in one hand, and a bottle of paint in the other, trying to figure out how to macgyver a vortex mixer

The first prototype consisted of an empty cardboard roll of toilet paper and copious amounts of electrical tape- it was a resounding success on my horrible wraithbone pot, but the risk of painting my entire living room with citadel paints in an expressionist style possibly outweighs the benefits of a perfectly mixed pot..Eej posted:Don't do it man... it's only $40 for a vortex mixer: https://www.amazon.com/LABFISH-Vortex-Function-Stainless-Acrylic/dp/B0BWDH285V This is probably the right call, but I live somewhere with insane import tax, so that mixer would probably end up costing closer to $80, as I've been unable to find any domestic vendors- even looked for some nail polish shakers, but same deal there

Finished two more beakies I've started playing around a bit with using very thinned out (with contrast medium) black templar contrast paint for shading, and I think I like how it looks. Didn't spend as much time on these guys as the last batch, but I had fun with the osl on both

Finished the sergeant for my second infiltrator squad! Now that I'm seeing the pictures on a monitor, there's a couple of things that need touching up, but that's for tomorrow. Continuing my theme of littering ultramarine parts around my dudes, I call this piece "Sgt. Munin standing over what remains of Brother Finch"

FINALLY finished my last infiltrator! I imagine that guy is very fast, I suspect he moves around like a tiny armored core      And here's a family photo, with the rest of his squad  Now I can move on to some pallet cleanser projects, before I eventually paint some more raven guard termies or probably my jump pack captain SkyeAuroline posted:I think I'm calling her good I am also calling her good, this rules!

Sounds great! I'd join in, but I have been a good boy about not really buying more than I'm planning to paint, my "pile of shame" is a box of terminators, a jetpack captain and a liutenant- the only thing that stops me painting is time, not motivation. If anyone should be participating in the oath thread it's my wife, who is far better at buying more models than she is at actually sitting down to paint them- on the plus side, this gives me more minis to paint! To help her along with motivation, I proposed we'd paint a couple of my terminators together- she'll paint them in my scheme, and we'll work through all the steps together until completion. Sounds like a fun little couples project, I think!
