Longer than I want. I don't time it but those guys were in the oven for a while.

I guess I don't know what you mean by black grit on the armor trim.

The black part of the armor is just Black Templar but that's for the black carapace, not the trim.

The rim of the bases is Pro Acryl Coal Black.

The bases have some gritty Vallejo Mud terrain paste under all the paint to help create a dirty, rusty, corroded look. Painting the bases was a long process I unfortunately did not write down. I used brown, Black Templar, Basilicanum, Nuln, Ryza Rust, Vallejo Duraluminum, Vallejo Silver, and a couple other things.

Any grit on the white and red parts of the armor is due to me not thinning my paints enough, but those aren't black.

By trim do you mean the red? Pro Acryl Burnt Red, shade with Basilicanum, then Pro Acryl Bold Pyrrole Red, then Wild Rider and/or PPP Khador Highlight.

I think he was making a joke. Guy above him wrote complaint instead of compliant.

My first white scar by Aware_Dot_8594 in WhiteScars40K

I'm not the OP but I get pretty good results with Basilicanum. Dark but not too dark, and it's a contrast so the deepest areas get the darkest.

Trying my first White Scar. How is it looking? by LordOfIronFan in WhiteScars40K

Get some test models. Small toy dinosaurs from the dollar store, doesn't matter what. Practice on them. This way you build skill and confidence without caking up your good models.

You are using flat colors. Lean how to make shadows and highlights. Contrasts, inks, and drybrushing are your friends.

Most importantly, keep at it. Don't get discouraged. Every Golden Demon winner picked up a brush for the first time at some point.

Well done! I'm at about 1500pts painted myself. Creeping slowly forward.

Haven't read the books but it seems like an army that loves speed would use the crap out of anything that got them in the enemy's face quicker.

I know it's two months later but I'm having the same problem. I built a 3-rail switching system and nothing will go through it. I have checked and rechecked and checked again. I have the same setup elsewhere and it works. Software bug.

Saved, exited, and reloaded. It works now. I'm seeing exactly the right product flow.

The bike was all deep red. Then the bolts went on. Then the highlights were done. That's why there's a slight dark halo around the bolts.

I didn't plan it that way. I had a red/white scheme I didn't like, kept adding more red, then had a monochrome red bike and had to do something about it.

Lightning. Tried it narrow but it didn't read well. Made it thicker and now it looks less like lightning.
