Mandragola Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I guess you could chop bits off the trees and/or maybe apply a wash to them. They look a little bright so some agrax earthshade might tone them down. It might help to add some greenery to the ground. The trees stand out more because you've got healthy-looking trees in a waste land. Nice work, and congrats on your first titan! dice4thedicegod 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrypie Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Nice work on the Warhound, dice4thedicegod. The trees are fine, though due to their material tend to be homogenously coloured throughout out of the box. Sprinkling some different shades of green flock on them or spattering some darker ink on them could give some variation. I agree with Mandragola that they perhaps look a bit bright alone since there is no grass, tufts, bushes or such on the ground as there tends to naturally be all over the place, which is easily remedied if you want to go for the greener route. dice4thedicegod 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fajita Fan Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Old school knight heads on spikes?The psi-titan sword arm basically done except cables, I started reworking my Sistramanus Tenebrae because the other one was way too heavy for my magnets, and I need to get the body together which I didn't do today because I played DotA most of the day. Damn it. I keep giving real thought to using wolf heads instead of lions to carry a Witcher theme since FW doesn't seem clear on what it's supposed to look like anyway. I think we can be really annoyed if the 28mm psi-titan gets fancy shoulders and ours didn't. Either way it might look different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fajita Fan Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 More contrasts on the knights. If you're clean with your brushwork contrasts make short work of knights but I'm not sure how to shade the recesses. Maybe suuuuuuuuuper watered down nuln oil?

malika666 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 In principle they ship worldwide, depending on current regulations where you live. However the first stock was sold out within an hour after release. Expect the next supply to arrive early next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malika666 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 They are smaller than their Adeptus Mechanicus counterparts, they are still bigger than the original Titan models though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 TITI decided to paint my next Reaver in Digi Cam. Its been two hours of masking and cutting tiny digital shapes. I regret this decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dice4thedicegod Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Not doing anything big due to real life, but fiddled with ‘weathering’ trees (so they weren’t so bright) and a little reposition. Looking forward to tackling a bigger one. (Had ordered a 1/285 bridge section... but it was way to big to fit on a base when it came) Dark Bjoern 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sword Brother Adelard Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 No, airbrushing the pattern in. It's all sprayed one colour (the lightest) then I downloaded a stencil pattern, cut out the bits and stuck them down, now I'm on to coat two.

Mandragola Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I often think it would be easier to just hand paint things like that, especially given the difficulty of getting stencils to fit over irregular shapes. But good luck to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I've not got the patience for the hand painting, I'm happy to touch up. But I've had to start again on a lot of the panels. i over thinned the second coat and the over-wet paint ran under the stencils. So back to square one!

dice4thedicegod Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I had visions of my warlord crushing a bridge underfoot while wading through water effects... but the bridge was much larger than anticipated when it turned up. So I took a hammer to it (the bridge, not the warlord). Still not convinced the pieces look convincing . Might go back to the drawing board on this one! (Nothing glued and no riverbanks or anything yet.) Fajita Fan 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So back to square one!You don’t have the patience for hand painting, but you have the patience for this? That’s what I mean! Painting stuff like checks is actually fairly doable so I imagine digital camo would be similar, except you wouldn’t need it to be so regular. Not that I’m volunteering to try, you understand.

Fajita Fan Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I’m just now realizing I need to test out varnishing these thin pens I plan to use to do the freehand work on my knights and titans, I’m going to test some panels tomorrow. Yikes, I hope the varnish doesn’t reconstitute and blur the pen marks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is that with spraying I spend time masking, then spray and that layer is done. However, I'm not the neatest painter by hand, so I'd spend endless time touching up my mistakes and the mistakes caused by fixing the mistakes. The time is similar, but the frustration is far less!

(Nothing glued and no riverbanks or anything yet.) You’d almost need him standing on some rubble otherwise it looks like he’s stepped through the remains of a broken bridge. When a concrete structure collapses there’s a huge cloud of dust so the action of crushing a building would be hidden anyway. Stepping through concrete (well ferrocrete in this universe) rubble of a previously destroyed bridge would still look cool especially with some infantry hiding on the other side or running to the left and right of the foot :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes, I hope the varnish doesn’t reconstitute and blur the pen marks! For those unfamiliar with this technique - this kind of paint pen can be used to "draw" on your miniature with paint. Great for tattoos on 28-32mm minis and for creating the basis for freehand logos on Titans... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fajita Fan Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Yes, but I need to make sure that spray varnish doesn't blur it. I also wonder if I should varnish the contrast painted panels first so those pens don't etch the paint off. Contrasts are NOT durable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
