you need at least 2 coats for it to sit well and another varnish coat to seal it up

lapis tundra
#

Also good job! Hes 3d printed right?

hoary ermine
#

with 2 hours of drying time

lapis tundra
hoary ermine
#

Well you want the paint to settle properly and the paint can definitely take some time to dry in

lapis tundra
#

Oh indeed

#

Also only semi related but i once wanted to varnish a old metal mini i painted but sprayed it silver instead since both cans looked similar, it was dark outside and i was already tired

hoary ermine
#

and i need to research how to CLEAR an oil coat off of an armor before painting it so

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

oof, sad

hoary ermine
#

probably

#

i might just wait for one of those glorious 25c days here

#

then hose down the armor with a garden hose and let the heat kill off any rusting potentional

#

then the arguuous task of tacking up all leather

Blood ravens, mmmh, pretty cool

dull wagon
#

I tried dry brushing, I have to say was not disappointed

edgy cipher
#

It's a good and cheap technique

elfin yew
#

lmao

#

I love how one of AdMech's artifacts is implied to be the skull of Tesla

dull wagon
#

Thanks

quaint halo
dusky mango
# elfin yew

that's actually a really nice tribute to Tesla imo

dull wagon
#

We should go to Tesla's grave and turn his skull into a servo

#

And power it wirelessly, like he would have wanted

edgy cipher
#

Amazing

#

This is why I love admech

hoary ermine
#

trying to figure out what i want for my chestplate tbh

#

either the candy/shiny red or the duller muted crimson

vale sleet
#

Shiny red is a good color

bold copper
#

i am looking at the flesh-eater courts stuff and wondering: why isn't this just part of soulblight gravelords? there really is not much to the courts at all, and i wonder why they were even separated

elfin yew
#

Courts existed before soulblight

#

They'll probs get their revamp at some point

bold copper
#

and before that was vampire counts, that had all this stuff in one book

crisp forge
#

tbh i wish they did more with the courts

#

since like

#

its literally nothing but "dudes with bones piercing their skins"

#

like okay can we get some cool models at least

bold copper
#

the faction is so anemic it is not even funny

crisp forge
#

YEAH

#

I'd appreciate some absolute horrid models they really need

#

like them immitating the factions they think they are and such

hasty sorrel
#

the courts are literaly there just to explain brettonia being dead

#

then they abandoned them like they abandoned brettonia

crisp forge
#

bastards

bold copper
#

what makes it funny is that there only actually 5 kits that the courts use for their models

elfin yew
#

I wouldnt be surprised if Courts get rolled into Soublight eventually

#

LoN got goned to become Soulblight so

bold copper
#

like i understand nighthaunt being separated because they got a whole bunch of new stuff to make it a justified separation

#

but courts? not really

elfin yew
#

Originally the idea was that every subfaction of Undead would get their own tome then there'd be a 'hybrid' army with Legions of Nagash

hasty sorrel
#

abolish the division

#

just run death

elfin yew
#

So Ghouls, Ghosts, etc

bold copper
#

and now we have vampire counts 2: electric boogaloo. which i am ok with because i loved vampire counts

elfin yew
#

Yeah Soulblight is a pretty big improvement over LoN

#

Ruleswise and all

#

No longer a hybrid army, but you can still ally so it's w/e

bold copper
#

i was skeptical because it felt like some of the rules stuff was incomplete, but seeing more of the 3rd edition changes a lot of it makes more sense now

#

especially now because monsters and heroes do a lot more in 3rd

#

i just wish it was easier to obtain the model kits for soulblight right now

elfin yew
#

Dont worry, once they're not getting SUCC'd they'll stabilize

bold copper
#

the new start collecting box was such a good deal as well

elfin yew
#

Yee!

bold copper
#

20 grave guard a unit of black knights and a wight king

#

can't go wrong with that

#

GW won me over to AOS with the new vampire stuff. so hats off to them

#

if it wasn't the vampires, then Khorne would have done it

untold pier
#

I wanna make my tau look like this i just need more bits

dusk hill
#

Idek how you'd go about that tbh

untold pier
dusk hill
#

Yeah but like, idk which bits? Maybe there's some third party Sci fi stuff that looks roughly correct

untold pier
#

oh i dont want it to be exact, jsut like the added antennae

#

maybe tech up the guns a bit more

dusk hill
#

It's a shame they don't make the og stealthsuits anymore, they'd be great for this

#

Maybe could use the iridium battlesuit head too, if u can find it on a bits site

untold pier
#

yea im also getting in touch with a friend to print me a poleaxe for my commander

dusk hill
#

! printed stuff could be useful too yea

untold pier
#

yea im only gonna print extra bits, just to give my tau a dirty rough look

#

lots o custom tech on the battlesuits and stuff

dusk hill
#

nods

#

My bleep bloop

untold pier
#

looks good! 🦾 (add more hazard stripes)

hoary ermine
#

google it

#

id start with looking at small pointy bits and bobs

#

maybe look at the conversions from Grotskull and his tau killteam

untold pier
#

those lads are neat, but im really wanting like,,,, 7 antennae and a wierd gun

#

those lads are too uniform, ya dig?

hoary ermine
#

then make it.

untold pier
#

ye

#

thats the plan

hoary ermine
#

id take a look at them tbh

#

theyre not uniform at all

#

heres the construction album

untold pier
#

thanks for the link yea im lookin at them rn

hoary ermine
#

they can be a great inspiration on how to tackle it

untold pier
#

that blue color scheme is v nice

untold pier
#

my bad

hoary ermine
#

then make them not

untold pier
#

yea

#

thats the plan :D

#

thank u again for the link tho

#

(even tho facebook remembered my login, even when i "deleted" the account)

hoary ermine
#

so

#

a reflecting foil would be coolest because the visor glows and shimmers because of that

#

but if i cant find that ill have to do it wil a normal blue foil, which eliminates the idea of hiding my eyes

sour hill
#

Alright. Cleaned shit up more, shaded some flames, etc.

#

Tonight I'm painting his helmet and maybe backpack as well.

#

Before we dive into the big man himself.

hoary ermine
#

I found paint, graded for steel

twilit cliff
hoary ermine
rose sluice
#

does anyone know how i could get the flesh colour?

twilit cliff
#

Uhhh that colour?

#

In an easy way?

#

A flesh tone like rakarth flesh and then a shade applied carefully on the skin and more liberally in recesses

#

Not sure what shade is purple or pinkish

#

That's the theory, I stay away from painting too much skin

#

I've painted some stinkers lol

hasty sorrel
#

@grizzled stump how did u do ur flesh bois?

rose sluice
#

The guide thing on gw doesn’t show it very well

#

I’ve got rakarth

grizzled stump
#

Uhhh I did mine like a pale grey as if the body had bloated in water

#

If that's the sort of colour you want to go for

hasty sorrel
#

show us a pic joe

#

they looked great last i remember

rose sluice
#

I’ve only got rakarth and kislev for flesh colours

Hi all,
This is part 2 of the Lord of Blights masterclass series.
This episode is all about painting the skin on this miniature. The skin is the largest area and does take some time to complete which is why the video is an hour long!
If you are painting along with the series share your progress on Instagram or Twitter with #lordofblightsmaster...

▶ Play video
rose sluice
#

Nice. Not sure about glazing and shit but i’ll pick up some cadian flesh tone

#

I wanted to keep the skin looking “alive” like the product images

lapis tundra
#

You will get there one day :>

sour hill
#

@rose sluice Could be a basecoat of Pallid Wych.

#

That hyper pale flesh tone.

rose sluice
#

Idk

#

It’s just cause i’ve primed my blightkings and realised i don’t think i have the flesh colour i want for them

sour hill
#

I've got a ton of different contrast paints that work well as a base layer with some of the basic ones brushed on.

#

You can also probably tint it lightly with dry brushing.

vivid rune
#

yooo this art is cool

green cave
#

Yo, what happened to the lotara kin?

#

Also why people focus on the ugliest images of that article?? I don't get it

rose sluice
#

I still don’t get why people hate those suits

shell yacht
#

It was a meme and then people took it seriously.

#

Something about the legs?

dusk hill
#

the nundams are great tbh

rose sluice
#

I think they look really cool

#

They’ve got the obligatory alien loader suit control sticks

dusk hill
#

It feels like GW just wanted to create a not awful version of the baby stroller

#

they succeeded imo

rose sluice
#

I still don’t mind the dread knight

#

There is ways to make it look cooler yeah but i think it’s fine on it’s own

dusk hill
#

it's just the baby stroller bit. like, if it wasn't for that it would be p good

rose sluice
#

I kinda think it doesn’t fit the grey knight aesthetic overall tbh. It looks more repurposed than anything

hasty sorrel

mhmm

sour hill
#

@rose sluice I LOVE the pale flesh my dude.

#

Like literally dead flesh, devoid of major pigment.

rose sluice
#

yeah it's nice

#

i like they idea that they aren't quite dead yet though

sour hill
#

Yeah. Since the wounds have colour it shows they aren't completely dead yet. Blood still pumping, organs still pulsing.

I'm VERY partial to the plasma gun they can attach.

#

I LOVE plasma weaponry/the idea of it.

dusk osprey

I have a one of both. My deathwatch army spams dreadnoughts like crazy lol

sour hill
#

Yeah, that's pretty.

dusk osprey
#

One sec I'll post my boys

sour hill
#

God. Just the design of that thing with the massive plasma canisters sticking off it.

#

Such a pretty design.

#

I think I may do my entire Deathwatch army as being past Ultramarines.

#

So that, as long as people aren't being shitty, I can run an Ultramarines army with the Deathwatch counts-as.

#

With some story driven reason as to why they are Deathwatch appearing mixed in.

dusk osprey
sour hill
#

Yoooo.

#

LOVE that green plasma with the cannons.

dusk osprey
#

My deathwatch army's lore is that all their plasma stuff is stolen from necron tech

#

so all their plasma guns use green technical

sour hill
#

YES. I was wondering.

#

Gauss plasma. 😎

#

I'm going to do my plasma cannons as a pink/red colour.

#

For the colour of pure plasma.

#

Get all sciency up in this bitch. 😎

Maybe once I have a comfy army built then I'll finally have to learn how to play.

question though

is beastmen fixed now?

jovial siren
rose sluice

Ogres aswell btw

#

so either new unit or the preorder bonus

jovial siren
twilit cliff

omg same

rose sluice
#

that's why it's been a long wait for this dlc. cause it's a rework

#

don't care for beastmen that much personally. Taurox is cool looking though

dusk hill
#

it does look like beastmen are getting the funnest toys with this one tbh

#

im unsure of what the jabberslyths niche is gonna be, it's the big monstrous fucker in the cave. They look sorta similar to feral manticores, though i lowkey forget if beastmen even have those

#

i imagine ghorgons will be like, big fast anti large beatsticks tho. like necrosphinxes

#

which will def be amazing for BM as a faction, cus they struggle massively with high armour terror causing SEMs rn

rose sluice
#

Ghorgon will probably be the melee cygor i guess? I’ve never touched beastmen

dusk hill
#

They're from the same tt kit so more or less. The main thing CA needs to get right is their movement speed imo

#

ghorgons are basically giant mutated minotaurs, they're meant to be really fast and aggressive. from the looks of their animations in the trailer they look like they're at least 50+ speed, hopefully closer to 60 or 65

#

i'll be miffed if they become giants 2.0 cus they move at like 30 speed and get eaten by basic archers

What's everyone's recommended varnish product for finished minis?

#

I want to start finally protecting them

void orchid
#

I use testors dullcote

#

It's very matte and has been pretty durable ime

#

Usually comes in stubby small cans tho, annoyingly

edgy cipher

I've had good experience with Munitorum Varnish

#

I use army painter matte varnish and I think it works pretty well

sour hill
#

Yeah. I want to stick to something matte.

#

I see the glossy varnishes and it makes natural pieces like wood appear extremely unnatural.

#

I'll check out some of these.

Agree on not digging the glossy look, I've got a small pot of some tamiya glossy stuff that I just brush on if I need to shine something up like a lens or something

hasty sorrel

Alright here it goes

edgy cipher
#

I'll assist if you want

hasty sorrel
#

sure

#

Infact before I say anything

#

Go ahead and give your opinion as a player, since my perspective will be a different one as a GM

edgy cipher
#

Well I really liked it, the dice system makes it really flexible, my main moment was just me going through the wall XCOM Chimera style with the help of the Imperial Fist pitpoining the weakpoint in the wall.

#

It can be a bit swingy but with the wrath and Glory it really helps

vale sleet
#

Plasmancer points, you die

hasty sorrel
#

So as far as my end

It seems very narrative flexible which is pretty neat, lots of room for players to influence the game as well as the GM

The combat is neat and i can customise a lot of stuff very easily to make things more interesting

#

The standard rules use a lot of "troop" type enemies, which is why people assume the game is a horde shooter because it can be played that way

#

but you can also make elites/adversaries who are basically players in all but name

green cave
#

So, do you think that is a nice upgrade compared to Only War or it would be better with a d100 system?

hasty sorrel
#

Hmmm

#

Its hard to say because its only got a single expansion at the moment. Its got some very cool rules and is definitely a lot easier to tailor to your party.

I'd say its a side grade at the moment, the rules are a lot cleaner and give a lot of opportunities for some interesting roleplay. It just doesnt have as much content as the old d100 systems atm

vale sleet
#

What game your talking about?

hasty sorrel
#

Wrath and Glory

#

its a TTRPG

green cave
#

Uhm... An interesting take, i wasn't considering the amount of content, since that will come with time and content don't make a game better when the rules are awful... We can only wait and see then

#

Anyway, time for me to go try to sleep, thanks for the reviews and good night to everyone

hasty sorrel
#

good night

vale sleet
#

#

Also, anyone know a good army to try to learn psychic powers?

elfin yew
#

To learn or to focus on?

#

Because most armies have psykers

#

Just dont play drukhari, admech or uhh tau

vale sleet
#

Like, easy to use

#

But i guess since you said most of them got it, id probably try either orks or some chaos

elfin yew
#

Yeah! Psychic powers are pretty simple!

#

It's pretty much roll 2d6, then it does the power as described. Which are usually pretty simple

#

Assuming you hit the warp charge

#

Then there's perils, but that's somewhat rare

edgy cipher

They happen during the psychic phase aswell

I wish i was into fragrances instead of just bodyspray lol

Wouldn't know where to start

Also seems pricey

sour hill
#

It is, but you usually start with something small. You try and find smells that represent a feeling, a season, a place you wish you were, etc.

#

I'm wearing a fragrance right now that smells like I'm in a cabin overlooking a hill filled with pine trees and it's just about sunset and there's a fire going outside and the smoke is mixing with the smell of the pine trees

AoS' faction variety has become my downfall

#

I literally cannot choose what I want to actually commit to

#

I have stuff from 2 now + elf's disciples

#

Im wondering now if I just wanna wait for Umbraneth to come out

bold copper
#

flip a coin

#

and commit to whatever side wins

elfin yew
#

The problem js that its not a two option its I literally love almost every army

#

On the bright side, AoS armies tend to be cheaper overall

#

Or so has been my experience

bold copper
#

that's mainly because most AoS armies are smaller than 40k armies

elfin yew
#

Yeee exactly

#

I also play one of the more hordey 40k armies so lul

bold copper
#

also unit value really doesn't swing too dramatically. so things will either stay consistently good or bad

#

oh yeah and most armies don't get new units every other week like with 40k

#

cough cough space marines

elfin yew
#

Yee tru, tho I think AoS gets more variety across the board releases

#

Rather than super releases for uh, one factipn

#

Im very excited for Dawnbringer crusades

#

Hoping for new freeguild

bold copper
#

although i think we are finally done with space marine releases for a while

elfin yew
#

Yee seems so

bold copper
#

primaris have been pretty much fully fleshed out

#

now all that remains is named characters

#

which will probably come out with supplements

elfin yew
#

I like to think that AoS makes innovations that will eventually move to 40k

#

Esp ruleswise and in terms of release calendar

#

But then again 3e is crippling warscroll batallions which is sad

bold copper
#

i would like to see an endless spells type system in 40k

elfin yew
#

Ohh yee thatd b sicc

bold copper
#

also warscroll battalions hurt the game more than helped IMO

elfin yew
#

I think endless spells are the best way to represent big 'vortex' style spells

#

Yeah they did tbh

#

I imagine they were rlly hard to balance

#

Esp so many of them

#

They were just Neat

bold copper
#

core battalions are a much better system

elfin yew
#

Yeee

bold copper
#

don't get me wrong they were very flavorful though

elfin yew
#

Also I think they are keeping ws batallions, just not in matched play

#

So rules still updated for narrative play fluff

#

There was a rlly wild one for Disciples called like, host of the duplicitous I think

bold copper
#

i also much prefer the way command points work in AoS to 40k

elfin yew
#

That made pink horrors split more

#

Yeee

bold copper
#

use them or lose them

elfin yew
#

Its def more dynamic

#

I also like the doubleturn

#

And rolling off every phase

bold copper
#

i'm very neutral to double turn. i've had great success and massive frustration with it

elfin yew
#

Yeah thats the vibe of it

#

Highs and lows, more exciting to me

bold copper
#

i much prefer the 40k way of turns

elfin yew
#

It can just get rlly wait around forever to me

#

Esp with rlly big armies

bold copper
#

i do hope that 40k adopts what AoS is doing with downtime in the opponent's turn

#

i know they have some stuff already, but go further with it

elfin yew
#

Yeee

bold copper
#

i also want vehicles to matter more in 40k

#

right now tanks and flyers suck the big one

elfin yew
#

Tell me about it

#

Especially heavy vehicles

#

I want goliath rockgrinders to work so bad

#

The last time I brought one, all it accompljshed was blowing up 2 of my characters

#

Also aside but, I wish we has Cult Valkyries so GSC had a flyer

#

Or their own unique model

#

Tho some sort of mining vessel or other industrial flyer would be PIQUE
