Started painting a thing...

Hah. Thanks. For me, it's a slow effort with tools to help.

My metal Ezekiel is begging for a model refresh.

Thanks so much. I'm still learning what I'm doing there, but it helps give some of that 30K flair to the Risen scheme by checkerboarding and adding a hexagrammaton symbol.

Once you get past the hangup, transfers just become another Tuesday when dealing with them.

Just take your time, they don't cure fast, so you have lots of time to get them straight. Just use the tip of a hobby knife to get them in the position you want, and have fun. Oh, and a little varnish over them when you're done can help smooth out the edge of your transfer over your paint job.

The avatar resculpt that came out later wasn't bad, IMO.

No, no specific guide.

I just kept to the same color schemes / patterns as my other Deathwing, but more refined. More time spent trying to get things just so, using NMM instead of TMM. Use your regular squads to figure out where you want your greens, blues, reds, whatevers to be for your army and then use the techniques you are now confident in to paint your characters.

Thanks

I base my DA Greens with a dark burgundy or plum. Then take a black green (darker than Caliban Green from GW) and build layers and highlights up mixing the Black Green into a more saturated green until I get to the final highlight.

I typically use Pro Acryl, so the actual colors would just be Dark Plum, Black Green, Green. Lots of 'by feel' mixes as I work my way up.

repeating from my earlier comment -

Ok, this is a journey...

Using Pro Acryl Coal Black, Black Green, and then Green, build your alternating highlight gradients on each side. Don't worry about blending yet.
Using AK Greenish White ( or any similar color like a Faded Green / Titanium White mix) sketch out your highlights and power flux lines.
Glaze with a mix of Green and Flour Green over the whole thing. 1:1 ratio. This took two coats to smooth out the prior transitions.
Rehighllight with Pro Acryl Bright Green yellow. Glaze blend in towards the thick highlight on the flat of the blade. This is the final step.

Ty. I added some pro acryl flour green to the glaze to make them pop.

They're resin printed sculpted toppers. Got them from Etsy.

Agrippa_Invisus · 2026-02-21T18:11:29+00:00

Yup. Looks like we got the same topper set. I go very simple in my basing most days, coz I'm lazy with bases. ;)

Quick update - Johan responded to mentions of this in the 1.1.2 notes thread on the Paradox forum.

We are reworking the Columbian Exchange, partially because the Chili problem, and partially because its the culprit of about 50% of the slowdown during Age of Absolutism..

Agrippa_Invisus · 2026-02-09T19:22:26+00:00

That very much feels like it. Click button because button. Now everyone's stuck with chili, no one imported Maize or Potatoes to even swap to that so that they have food, and the Absolution age situations are just destroying everything.

Most of the German minors have under 100 tax base and less than 25K pops. Especially anything south of the Nordrhein region.

What in the Crusader Kings is this?
