travisb7 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Wow. That is... that is a lot of paint. You HAVE to share your first project - what are you starting with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorKhaos Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 I have *NO* idea yet. I suppose I'd better maked it something of the power armoured variety though. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Can we start with...everything? More seriously, how does that grey paint scheme on their site come out, if you have any interest in painting grey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honda Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I'd be interested in finding out just how close the old Space Wolves Grey matches up to the new color (Fenris?). Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Kovash Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 My hat's off to you for picking up this paint set. I'd love to try it out myself, since my friends and I also seem to be running out of crucial paints due to basing and mixing. I'd also like to see how the new Space Wolves Grey turns out.

Dark Bjoern Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 You should check out if it is complete and no color double. At our store two guys bought those sets and both had have colors missing while others had been double in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrion Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I never realised till now how cool a guitar the Citadel symbol would make... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Templar 307th Comp. Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I am very curious to see how the metallics play out, having my own fondness for them. I've been painting Templars like mad with Ceramite White...golly, what a difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorKhaos Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 I'll try that grey option and a wolfy out later today, I'll also do some metallics on a test mini to see what the outcome is. I've gone through all the paints to ensure the number are correct and that there is one of each and no duplicates / missing paints. No issues there.

Jofus Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Does one for the new colors match the old Brazen Brass? Look on there web site I think maybe Brass Scorpion might be the closest match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorKhaos Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Here's the test models all glued up and no where to run... Paint run starting soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronDragon66 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Id like to see how some gold looks.....like with the old paints id do a tin bitz base coat, then shining gold, devlan mud wash, then a burnished gold and mithril silver dry brush....and it always made any amount of gold i did look so awesome. What does the new paint line have to offer for this type of work? - I am very excited about new paints....but not super thrilled about having to buy all new paints :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth_giles Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 - I am very excited about new paints....but not super thrilled about having to buy all new paints :blush:Lucky. My paints all dried out, and I still haven't found a source for yellow ink. My Word Bearers will either have to be painted with the new paints, or I'll have to get some third party stuff. Let me know how the "Layer 1, Layer 2" stuff works out; I'm hoping it doesn't just turn out to be more semi-opaque paint designed to show brush strokes.

lhg033 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 i'm in a similar boat to Darth_giles, i have about 17 paints i need to replace due to drying out. i've finally deicded i will give the new GW ones a spin after testing them out in store rather than jumping ship to vallejo. That, and i know an independant stockist in London that sells them 20% cheaper than GW (or 25% less if you order online). the same place also has a reasonable amount of the old range available if anyone is looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorKhaos Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 ...and I still haven't found a source for yellow ink. Try Reaper or P3 Inks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to check Nesbet Miniatures tutorial on this paint medium out. I tried it out on some of my older dried, not completely, paints and they came back like new. Don't think I have any that are completely dried out, but if I find one I will try it out on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scribe Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 How close is Mephiston Red and Khorne red to Mechrite Red, when done on a Black base coat? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorKhaos Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Here. Should be twelfth from the top in the left column. Which colour do you want to be the base? the Mechanicus Standard Grey or Dawnstone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Mechanicus Standard Grey, if you don't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
