BitsHammer Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Did a small color test using Black Templar over Leadbelcher. Short story: I like it as it has a nice "black steel" look that fits the "black knight" asthetic of the Templars. Downside of Black Templar you only really nail a single coat, or thin it down and then do two thin coats to smooth it out. Two coats at full strength will just turn it black with none of the undercoat showing through. I'm thinking a little Iron Warrior on some edges to pick them out a bit will help as well without being too bright. Either way, my army painting looks like it's going to take a nice jump forward into something that may get done in a more timely manner. painting.for.my.sanity, Viridia, NiceGuyAdi and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/378/#findComment-5540533 Share on other sites More sharing options...

painting.for.my.sanity Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I'm getting very close to finishing my Retributors - on the bodies of the last two all the cloth and steel is done now, so it's just detailing, basing, and sticking on their completed subassemblies.

AenarIT Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Today in the hobby I've finished assembling 4 Primaris/truescale Devastators for my Red Scorpions (and a sergeant with magnetized arms). It was a long and painful process of scraping and cutting in order to fit those short Devastator arms around the supersized Primaris torsos. The other variants may wait for a bit...

Casual Heresy Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Today in the hobby I finished the base on my Primaris Librarian for my home brew chapter. Now got a fully painted HQ, Troop and Fast Attack choice. Still a lot of work to do to have the army finished for 9th.

Worth playing with for sure as well. Looks like I have to give contrast paints another try. I gave Cygor Brown a go recently and it just looked like I dipped my model in Marmite. I wasn't hugely impressed and plan to paint over it. I'll have to check the contrast paint thread at some point for ideas to get the best out of them.

MrSpoon Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) Last night (and somewhere into this morning) in the hobby I got the golds down on my custodes repaint. Just washes, details, base colours, basing and power weapons to go.... Also, have you guys had issues with stripping paint using Bio Strip 20 before? I was left with pockets of it I couldn't remove it and ended up having to put the models in methylated spirits for a few hours to remove the residue.

Magos Takatus Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 TiTHI just captured some photographs of my Tech Priest Manipulus.

Medjugorje Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Today in the hobby ( to be honest - it was yesterday) me and a friend played a game with each known rule from 9th edition. It was great.
