And they just made fun of my buying raven guard lol

#

And told me to leave

round cloak
#

got it

snow blade
#

Very true

#

I forgot I can paint the parts before full assembling them

#

lol

sick ledge
#

Imagine how I feel as a paint formulator, I know way more about paint and paint chemistry than most youtubers and painters but they try to correct me despite having a bunch of research journals in my name

snow blade
#

That must suck

#

Especially cause you know your righ

sick ledge
snow blade
#

But you being teamed up on by people who don’t know what their talking about

snow blade
sick ledge

The actual pan it’s server company everything I said

sick ledge
snow blade
#

I don’t have any like

#

Expletive painting

#

Experience*

#

Do you have measure ments for that pant? Or is it more complex then that

sick ledge
#

More complex than that

snow blade
#

Sighhhh

sick ledge
#

its binder I designed

snow blade
#

This is way more complicated then I though lol

#

Also

sick ledge
#

Painting is easy

snow blade
#

How do people make the logos look so clean?

sick ledge
#

making paint is hard

snow blade
#

Are there stickers?

sick ledge
#

Practice

#

yes and waterslide decals

snow blade
#

Do those come with boxes or?

sick ledge
#

they do sometimes

snow blade
#

Do I gotta but them to 😭

#

Buy*

#

Lemme look it up

sick ledge
#

Generally speaking, no they come in the boxes

#

but some factions dont have boxes so you have to buy them

snow blade
#

Yeah they do

#

Perfect

#

Yeah

round cloak
#

nice

sick ledge
#

waterslides are another skill to learn

snow blade
#

Well everyone starts somewhere so

sick ledge
#

they arent super straight forward

snow blade
#

Even if my army’s not the best spurned

#

Painted*

sick ledge
#

best advice I can give you is to soak them in diluted white vinegar

snow blade
#

It’s not like I half assed it

snow blade
#

What’s it do?

round cloak
sick ledge
snow blade
#

Does it ruin the pieces?

sick ledge
#

its microsol in a nutshell

#

nope

snow blade
#

Wait what are water slides?

sick ledge
#

they are decals that come in the boxes

snow blade
#

Ah

sick ledge
#

you soak them in water to apply them

snow blade
#

I’m just scared of eyes lol

snow blade
#

Painted*

sick ledge
snow blade
#

Oh okay

sick ledge
#

This is the most recent thing I did with waterslides

snow blade
#

Woah

sick ledge
#

It's not perfect but it was supposed to be quick

snow blade
#

Looks pretty good to me

sick ledge
#

it was a 2 hour paint job

snow blade
#

Damn

#

How long do you think it will take for one raven guard piece?

sick ledge
#

My first mini took me 40 hours

round cloak
#

just want to add that you can also use small pieces of sponge or old brush to make cool battle damage for the emblems

sick ledge
#

but the entire thing was a learning experience

snow blade
sick ledge
snow blade
#

I’m so cooked

sick ledge
snow blade
#

Bro I ordered 68 😭

sick ledge
#

but I was learning and practicing on a single model

snow blade
#

Ah ok

#

Makes sense

sick ledge
#

Golden demonn models take 500+ hours each btw

snow blade
#

😢

#

I want to do bases

#

I have a bunch of pre made fit to raven guard cork bases made

#

They’ll all fit but

#

I want to add more

#

To the cork

#

It’s just brown rn

#

I need to decide what landscape ima go with

#

For the base

#

Anyways I gotta go for a bit

#

Seeya guys 🫡

#

Oh and

#

Last thing

#

How to you paint the edges of pieces a lighter shade without buying more shades?

#

Can I just mix with white?

sick ledge
#

With green you just add in more yellow

snow blade
#

Thanks

#

I can afford to many paints so

#

I’m only buying what I need

sick ledge
#

I only use 10 paints at the high end

#

because I mix all my own colors

snow blade
#

Yeah

#

Benefits of lifetime of research and studying lmao

sick ledge
#

yep\

#

plus mixing colors is part of the fun for me

#

experimenting with different wavelengths of light and pigments

snow blade

If so how long does it take to dry the paint then glue and so on

round cloak
#

30 seconds I would say

#

snow blade
#

WHATT

#

I thought it took hours

round cloak
#

snow blade
#

Yeah

round cloak

round cloak
#

my glue bottle is complete trash I broke its tip last week

#

I need to buy new one or new bottle

#

sick ledge
#

its butyl acetate and a thickener so yeah it'll work

#

the bottle just sucks

snow blade
#

Oh that sucks

@vernal haven

#

Do you have any tips?

#

Painting and such

vernal haven
snow blade
#

Small things 😢

vernal haven
#

Be more specific

snow blade
#

Highlights and eyes

#

Good guess damn

vernal haven
# snow blade Highlights and eyes

For edge highlights you should be using the side of the brush closest to the tip, and use a fine point brush as well. For the eyes, use the tip of a fine point brush. And always remember to thin your paints as well as wipe off excess paint on a paper towel from your brushes before you apply them.

#

If you don't already own a model stand like this, get one. It'll make painting a lot easier.

#

Be gentle with paint application when it comes to fine details

#

Take your time and don't rush. If you mess up, don't worry, you can easily fix mistakes by painting over them with the correct color.

#

For regular non-edge highlights its basically the same tactic for edge highlights

snow blade
#

Thanks!

vernal haven
# snow blade Thanks!

Why do people suggest using a gloss varnish before applying decals as opposed to a matte one? Or is it just so you can see where you put the varnish?

Matte you can't adjust them as easily

Also matte has a texture on it so the waterslides will get textured and look weird

Great Job brother! 3rd company is sick! Ive got a 2nd company force myself

vivid quartz
#

very nice, and thanks!

#

i need to redo that right eye though its such a bitch to get lol

#

also i have an important question guys

#

the infernus was super straightforward to paint because its a lot of wide surfaces and its not loaded with creases and details

#

But do people paint more intricate models separately before gluing them ? Like i built the vespids but i didnt glue the wings on any of them yet, bc theyre a super important part of the look and I figured i was gonna have trouble painting the inner side if the minis were fully built

#

And i havent started building the aquilons yet, but i have a similar feeling about it. Lots of small details or parts that will be semi hidden behind another part of the model like how the weapon can hide some of the pouches etc

#

ive been practicing on a throwaway ork kommando a friend gave me and while its fun, some parts of the model like ammo pouches or dynamite packs are extremely hard to fully cover without constantly spilling over the body, because theyre just so close to angles or right below one arm, etc

#

so i was thinking that for at least some outer bits or very small bits of models, like jetpacks/wings and accessories, i could paint them before gluing them so i can do a better job

alright thanks

It’s just a very simple “here’s what steps you need to go through in a game” sort of thing

#

It can look quite intimidating at first, but the game is quite easy to play once you’ve got the flow down

#

You move, shoot, charge, then fight

#

Then your opponent does that

#

Or if you play Tau you just do the second one

It would’ve been less of a slaughter for him if he hadn’t played his invictor suit into my wardens/blade champ early on and without support

And if I hadn’t rolled as good as I did

# rugged vigil I like to think after Ive completed my infantry regiment, a Artillery platoon wo...

I don’t really have the option to order a lot of those things (I think my avatar pretty much says where I’m from).
So lately I’ve been thinking about getting a 3D printer — to make my own custom regiment :)
Since I know a bit of Blender and I’m learning it...
Right now I’m thinking about how to put together a mechanized infantry roster...
In the 1000-point format a real mechanized infantry platoon plus a tank section fits perfectly.
That’s 3 Chimeras (with 3 infantry squads) + 2 Leman Russes and a Hydra.

"Some nights, I pray for the guy who first figured out you can take a spare sentinel cockpit and turn it into basically an underhive rickshaw. I mean, he's probably a servitor now, right? You started seeing these pop up a bunch after the last big refit-legs break down more than engines, and the cockpit frame on the new models is directly welded to the engine compartment, so a lot of regiments wind up with a bunch of spares lying around and just begging for someone to do something like this. Anyway, if these are really tech heresy, how come the enginseers agree to build them so often?"

Not actually cause it’s not his warlord but it basically is

Ended up loosing by 4 points

Sacrificed my own tank and my dreadnaught to kill his shadowsword

The tanks ended up being way to tanky to get defeated

no extra kit needed

quick tabletop question I'm asking for a friend, neither of us know tabletop mechanics lmfao

we know there are allying rules to have different factions tag into an army, or at least there were at a point in the past. Can a knight tag into a space marine list? 😖

steel anvil
#

You can they are considered free blades

#

Just they wouldn't be same color is all

#

Knights don't attach themselves to space marines but they will fight along side them

#

But knights will only do it if it is a common foe. Once the enemy is dead then they leave

#

Also I believe it takes in fact what is the morals of that space marines chapter. Is it bunch of thieves or something along those lines the knight may be skeptical

If you were aiming for pre-heresy colours then you'd definitely want to darken him down, with their 'green so dark it could be confused for black' armour
