BitsHammer Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Been a while since I posted some actual hooby progress, so let's go with my latest test model: a weathering test using no metallic paints for the chipping. The chips are pretty alright but I think I'll stick to using a brush over sponge for the primer chips (aka brown chips). Yellow needs shading still but this feels like a good start for what I want.

Zephaniah Adriyen Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 TITH, I purchased a Finecast Lictor and a pack of Hormagaunts brand-new from my FLGS. My boi Tony (who, as a counterpoint, is That Guy who Ignores Errata) up and gave me his old-school Broodlord, without me asking. So I have 200 points of 'Nids. I'm painting them up in Kraken colors, then adding some kinda splinter fleet markings; I can paint all but one, who is getting an albino sort of paint scheme later on when I get some white Contrast and pale blue.

Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 TITHI primed more parts of my Seraptek and got a little more spiritstone down in the recesses. Progress is slow but steady.

BitsHammer Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Last night I did a quick test model using the Crusaders chapter paint scheme: So yeah, despite how quick this was, it works pretty darn well and didn't get too crazy on paint colors (the armour only uses 5 and with thinner glaze coats and a zenithal it'll likely pop even more). Now to work on making candles, adding green stuff sculpting to models and buying Grey Knight kits to cannibalize...

Viridia Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) TITHI finally picked up my green stuff, hopefully to crack on with this last vow over the next couple of days, as well as a box of Scourges and a Dark Elf sorceress to use for converting a Inquisimunda corsair warband. YITHI also finished reading Titandeath, now to crack on with Slaves to Darkness and The Solar War. EDIT; TITHI found the green stuff I thought I'd accidentally thrown away on my cutting board. Feeling like an absolute grot at the moment.

If your camera has problems focussing try taking the picture from further away. You can always crop it later on.

Problem is I take pictures with my phone and can't always see the problem until after I drop things since it looks in focus before cropping.

Vykes Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) Well, today in the hobby I finished up the major oil-related portion of my ETL Alpha legion platoon vow, was watching my fun little show... dropped the sicaran I was working on, stepped on a sharpened 6 cm piece of paperclip used for pinning, and had my favourite OTP crushed in the final minute of a series finally within the span of 35 seconds. Okay, the last one's not hobby related, but it's still contributing to this all, too. REJOICE FRATERS, FOR I FEEL THE BITE OF THE NAILS! When I fix the Sicaran, IE wash off and let it dry, touch up any chipped paint, then it shall be shown... Contrast paint is still paint and aethermatic is a nice shade. But, they don't take weathering powder as nicely as I'd like. So more oil and powder I think.
