Magos Takatus Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 TITHI tried my hand at airbrushing... and failed miserably. :p I don't know whether it's the paint thickness or wrong pressure or something else entirely, but I clearly have a lot to learn. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/266/#findComment-4982111 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply. I'm mainly getting spidering when trying to get close to the model. I'm guessing either the pressure is too high or I have put too much acrylic thinner in with the paint? Most of the troubleshooting guides are pretty vague since different paints behave differently. I'll see if the painting section has some threads discussing it. It would probably be a bad idea to clog () this thread with too much off-topic discussion.

I've heard practicing on just paper or cardboard is a great way to learn without having to strip your miniatures over and over again. You can practice really technique like holding a straight line, learn how the spray reacts to different trigger pressures, etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/266/#findComment-4982621 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Takatus Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 That's a good idea. I did some shading on a Hive Tyrant yesterday that will need a little tidying up and I'm base coating a Morkanaut today. It's not 100% smooth but I won't worry too much since it's going to be a camo pattern anyway. I'll hold off doing anything fancy until I get a feel for it. Â I hope you learn to use your airbrush quickly, it seems like it'll be pretty useful with practice. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/266/#findComment-4982694 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BitsHammer Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I'm counting this as today, despite this starting yesterday: I built a Know No Fear box of Primaris Marines to serve as the core of my new Raptors chapter and did a combat squad of Reivers to go with them and give my army the first bit of it's future build direction. I the got everything primed and started work on my Gravis captain. At 4am this morning I stopped working on my Gravis captain and let the nuln oil on the silver start drying. Â I'm considering, despite the OD Green armour and camo pattern cape, of giving him an orange power sword to represent the burning blade since I plan on being rather aggressive with him (SFTS with him an some Aggressors near the front lines, using him to buff the unit and give it a valuable counter charge via Heroic Intervention if it gets hit by a charging unit). Though I haven't committed to it since the Indomitus Armour might make him tank the front lines better.

Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Burning blade is very nice, despite people claiming the Teeth of Terra is flat-out better. With enough attacks, you can clear entire squads of marines with it in short order (I’ve killed five guys with one attack phase). Armor Indomitus gives a Gravis Captain a 2+ and a 3++, which probably isn’t needed horribly for one turn, given Gravis Armor is 2+ already. Burning blade ensures absolutely nothing gets an armor save, so when facing something without invulnerable saves whatever you wound dies.  Personally, TITH, I played a tourney-style game with a tourney-style list and did reasonably well. I am readjusting for the tournament proper.

Warpmiss Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 TITH (actually, yesterday) I organized almost all of my minis in a wicker trunk I inherited from my grandmother.

Trevak Dal Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Tithi went through my painted black legion guys, and on a whim scraped the chaos stars and arrows off their shoulder pads filed them down and put some gesso on as a primer and then painted over (idea being it will cover the "detail" of any rougher areas and anything left can be played up as "battle damage"). Â If it turns out looking narfy, I'll just get some of B@c pads and sub them in.

Stoic Raptor Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Today in the hobby I cleaned up and primed the horribly-assembled DV Ravenwing squad that I got in the second-hand bin for $12. What can you expect for $4 a bike? At least they weren't painted too. And I primed my properly-assembled Scout Bike squad. I wish I could get started on painting these this weekend, but I need to wait for the primer to cure. Hopefully next weekend.  Perhaps I'll do some more work on painting my Goliath gang.

Axineton Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 TITH I’ve just had dark imperium delivered after buying it on eBay (got it £20 cheaper than buying it in GW) so gonna be messing about with that for a bit. Not sure what to do with the Death Guard sprues yet as I’m not a big chaos fan.  Also started assembling other bits and bobs I’d bought ready for priming and the big foray into getting the painting underway.

Trevak Dal Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Tithi settled on p3 Great coat grey (may favorite color of theirs) as a base :> stegadon scale green cells on the shoulder pads and leg armor bits. For my 1000~ point list I got 13 out of 30 marines done up in the gcg.
