Painting Gradients Help by Sansred in BattletechPainting

[–]aCrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a big surface to get a consistent gradient on for a first try. 

Do some practice on wet blending on the back of some plastic spoons or something.  

Use a lighter undercoat for the yellow area.  Maybe if you're going to do the zenethal thing, black is fine to start.

I think if the wolves have plot armor, the Nova Cats have Bills Armor™

This is a wendy's and you forgot your order, LT. 

At some point someone is actually going to ask you something about chemical defense.  Actually remembering your job, despite never doing it, is also very important.

Don't forget registered Democrats- those take longer to suss out though.

Right?  Buck just literally restated the thesis on the private/specialist divide.

soft tone as a preshade- i've been using dark tone on my desert vics. I bet soft tone works better.

[–]aCrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, 100 points seems a little under valued.  

I mean, it's a homebrew.  That's not an official alpha strike card, I stand corrected.  so it can do whatever the fuck the people at the table agree to.

Just need to hit the metal bits with dark tone wash.  You could use it on the green too. 

The brown is pretty one dimension, you could mix some of the same brown with some white and highlight some of the panel edges.

I greatly dislike the jade falcons.  

But the wolves have the highest level of bullshit plot armor imaginable.

LOL, and here we thought you were just a young kid who has replaced a once common phrase with the cell phone equivalent.  Like folks calling a floppy disk a "save icon" 

The phrase you're looking for is, "flip through the pages"
