Don't get all smart with me lol.

Actually I'm going to start on accursed cultists instead, they're not a bad unit but I prefer painting them with the various fleshy mutated skin etc.

How did it go?

I got clapped

first game was pretty close, but he brought an Aeldari army with a bunch of wraith guard. I learnt the hard way how OP Eldar are atm……

But still, I did enjoy it!

What’s your green recipe it’s lovely?

Whole model is great but I want to steal that

It’s nothing spesh bud. I think it’s something like Castellan Green > Warpstone Green > Moot Green or whatever the paints are called. I do a bit of semi-glazed highlights with the warpstone to give a very lazy NMM sheen to it, then edge highlight with Moot Green. Might tap a few spot highlights later with some white added to moot.

My more or less done Terminators, some shading and fine detail left to do. And basing lol.

Now I need to actually field them in a game...

Noxia · 5 Oct 2023 at 12:04

Love them. I was tempted to do mine that legion but they won't look as good as that so now I don't want to lol.

Something I struggled with when doing the trim other than the floppy point on my AO brush which I'm really unimpressed with. I am trying to be really light touch and it's like the paint doesn't come off the brush. Would this suggest the paint is not thin enough? Or maybe it's just trying too fast because I was using the size zero.

I've never really understood about thinning metallic paints because if you add too much thinner you see the speckles floating about.

Yeah maybe thin it a little more then do a really thin coat and build it up. For my wordbearers I've taken the following approach for the body:

Spray them leadbelcher
Nuln oil all over
Do the edge highlights
Do the armour panels using khorne red - thinned out a lot but I then use tiny amounts to control how much goes on and build layers
Agrax the red
Add in the highlights using wazzdakka red

I've been using a citadel small layer brush along with the army painter regiment brush.

I thought they were World Eaters. Clearly I don't know the difference lol.
I've been meaning to get a can of leadbelcher actually, for when I try a metallic purple on my war dogs.

Haha, it's always been the wordbearers for me. Bit bland but they're true believers lol. I did think about World Eaters next but can't deal with having another army painted red lol.

No joke, the new unit literally has space and racking that goes on for absolutely miles. Place is mahooooosive. We could have an ocuk car meet inside and still have room to spare LOL.

Noxia · 6 Oct 2023 at 22:33

Ohhhh, thought there was some deeper meaning there

In other news, I have ordered a few colour forge sprays to hopefully assist in me getting more than 50 points of one army properly painted before I move to the next model.

starting to try and make a dent in my pile of shame. Going to try slapchopping up a dark angels squad. Have primed them all using vallejo black primer through an airbrush, but worried the primer is a bit to shinny. The primer is supposed to be matt, but as its one of those polyurethane ones it leaves a bit of a sheen. Dry brushed them all with Eshin grey and then a light dry brush of Vallejo Game Colour deadwhite to get a non airbrush style zenithal. Result looks ok prior to then slapping on some contrast / speed paints, but I can't say I am overly happy with the quality of the first step. Are there black, grey and white/ivory/bone colours/brands that give better results or is it just a case of practice with what I have got as the paint is only really a small factor in the result. I learnt the hard way you can't dry brush Vallejo ployurethane primers without knackering your models, so they Vallejo grey and white primers are a no go.

I found dark angels green to be one of the really nasty colors to work with until I stopped trying to zenith it and instead used grey seer all over and put quite heavy layers on contrast over the top. That gave the really deep rich dark angels color and some quick drybrushing on the edges with warp stone glow followed by moot green to pick out highlights.

Greyseer is a good base to use, works well with most other colours.

thanks for the tips. I was looking at the dark angels green contrast paint yesterday and thought that looks like a bitch as it didn't look saturated enough for a one pass over a zenithal prime. So was going to opt for the regualr caliban green base colour and thin it out with a mixture of flow improver and matt agent and try and use that as a homebrew contrast / speed paint. But now I am thinking maybe just re-prime them all again in flat grey seer or do a very heavy dry brush with grey seer just leaving the very deepest recesses with the black primer still showing through to save some highlight steps and then use the premade contrast paint.
