It's a lot faster, and you don't get that tron look. I usually go over things with a normal highlight colour, then drybrush on an extreme highlight.

Jolemai Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share Posted June 2, 2023 Just a head's up folks, but with 10th edition arriving I'll be updating the Resources Page and eventually doing new Unit of the Week threads and Veritas Vitae articles in due course. The Resources page will need things like new tailored/specific tactica articles, so that's where you guys come in. Mathhammers, tips and tricks, that sort of thing, so get to grips with the 10th ed rules (link included there and the 10th ed discussion) and absorb it, then help the community get something out of the collection brain storm Blindhamster, Paladin777, Karhedron and 4 others 4 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good thing with drybrushing is that it is easy to control as you build up the highlight with repeated passes. Makes it easy to stop when it looks "right". Here is a SW Repulsor I drybrushed and it came out pretty well. Edited June 2, 2023 by Karhedron Rhavien 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share Posted June 2, 2023 Same, I switched (back) to drybrushing a while back. Models can look dusty though. Karhedron 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand by makeup brushes to help solve that. Once you learn how to control them (I.E. how much pressure to use), you can get really good gradients with very little dusty streaking.

Spagunk Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 The great part is that you can just get cheapo makeup brushes since they'll be soft and you won't feel bad wrecking them as they're cheap as chips.

Arkangilos Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Just scheduled a day later this month to do some models with my roommate, so I'll finally start working on my backlog and redoing some of my chapter's lore.

happyslugger Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Managed to finish my tanks and magnetise all the weapons. Just started building the brutalis dreadnought (arms seem fine on mine). And I have tech marine, 5 heavy intercessors and the 10 desolators to build and paint before the 10th box drops. Arkangilos 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkangilos Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 What do you guys think of using the blade guard models and the blade guard captain model as company veterans and company champion (respectively)? I know they are primaris, but the company veterans can get shields and power swords. I just already have several captains and I personally see my first company captain having a jump pack or terminator armor (depending on situation).

The Command Squad BG would basically be painted the same as my blade guard would be anyways, they’d just be count as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhavien Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 (edited) After trying a traditional attempt painting a land raider which just didn't look good, I tried airbrushing color on my first tank ever. I'm quite happy with it. Guess I will drybrush the edges too. What do you think? -edit- As always the shades of red don't transition that good into the picture. The highlighting is more subtle then it looks here Edited June 16, 2023 by Rhavien Spyros, Jolemai, Arkangilos and 2 others 2 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The highlighting is more subtle then it looks here By traditional, you mean brush? It's normal to feel doubt on a model this large and at this stage. Just push ahead with the highlights and any recess shading or whatever on the main colour and once that's done, it will all start to come together Rhavien 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First some zenithal highlighting and drybrush ING with white. Slapchop on a tank basically. Then I used very thinned red paint to avoid streaking on the massive clean surfaces. It turned out way to bright, pooled into the recesses and didn't cover even after the third layer. Well, now I just primed it dark red and did some panel highlighting after a quick glimpse into some YouTube tutorials it looks way better.
