Karhedron Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Nice selection of units there and I love the paint scheme. Did you use Contrasts for Maugan Ra? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/382340-heck%E2%80%99s-eldar/#findComment-6023405 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, contrasts are suddenly looking like a more appealing option! (As I sit next to the minis, fearing putting on the paint and sucking at it.) And also a question to @Cap'm Heckus: Did you paint the model as you assembled it? I ponied up for the Morgan Rau mini and it's sitting on the table right next to me. I'm wondering if I might be best served to basecoat the separate parts and glue the mini together into aggregate "modules" for painting that I can then subsequently stick together for the final product? Edited February 17 by Kage2020 Added question for OP.

Cap'm Heckus Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 (edited) Yes. I did use contrast paints on Maugan Ra. GW skeletal hoard and army painter Cultist Cloak. i paint most of my minis in sub-assembly lately. My guardian heads are primates Grey Seer. On the one hand, it makes the color go on a bit more smooth (I don’t have to add multiple layers of white to cover all that purple), and on the other hand it incentivizes me to get them painted if I want to use them.

Kage2020 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 6 hours ago, Cap'm Heckus said: i paint most of my minis in sub-assembly lately Wonderful. I'll take a look at the assembly instructions and see where the optional configuration is so that I'm not painting tiny areas on the final mini even if it means that I end up painting more surface area on the pre-assembled figure. Thank you for the confirmation! (I wish I could do this with the 3d printed minis that I have so much detail them! :) ) Karak Norn Clansman and Cap'm Heckus 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/382340-heck%E2%80%99s-eldar/#findComment-6023661 Share on other sites More sharing options...
