BitsHammer Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 So I did a color test to see if I could use some Slaaneshi purple-greys to undershade before glazing with Iyanden Yellow. Short answer is yes, yes you can. Long answer is that I need to smooth my blending (looks like a reason to practice loaded brush), transition the lightest grey into Wraithbone, and then transition that into white to really make the color pop before applying the Iyanden in much thinner layers for smoothness. You know, I think most people don't make painting yellow this complicated.

It is neat to see your progress, though! Thanks! I'll be repainting it now that I have a better feel for it, though starting with his robes proper and working from there. I've always been a bit on an idiot who wanted the yellow to have more going on that what I could achieve and I'm finally happy with how the shadows look. Now I just need to work on smoothness, blending and thinner glazes.

Focslain Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 YITH - In the continuing tradition of poor, yet sensible, financial decisions. I managed to get my hands on a complete Fortress of Redemption on the moderate cheap. Also nearing completion of my moriaxi, hardest part of this build was figuring out the paint scheme for the weapons.

MrSpoon Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 TITTH I got very close to completing the death company intercessors. Full bad NMM and took and age to paint.

BitsHammer Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 TITH I finished building all my wraiths, only to take them to my FLGS and apparently need to rebuild them as some bits did not want to stay attached in transport. I think I need a new case for these guys. They're just too big for anything I've got to safely carry them in.

NiceGuyAdi Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 TiTH I got my head (mostly) around how to recast bits with Blue Stuff and Milliput. I'd tried it before with depressingly bad results, so getting largely useable results made me pretty happy.

MrSpoon Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 TITH I got back onto my cutodes repaint project (just 12 bikes, 6 more terminators and some rebasing after these guys). My plan is to have them done by the end of the week all being well. Wish me luck.
