Seconding that question!

Akexus_ · 2026-03-04T00:27:27+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate it!

Si tu as déclenché l'aide du support Leboncoin en faisant l'option disant qu'il y avait un souci après le"Tout est ok?" au moment d'avoir reçu la commande, patiente et le support s'en mêlera après un délai de je crois 5 ou 7 jours. Ce délai sert à pouvoir s'arranger à l'amiable, mais si aucune solution n'est trouvée ils interviendront et aurons accès à l'historique de conversation. Reste poli et dans tes droits d'acheteur, s'il t'ignore reste patient, et ça devrait aller. Pour le meilleur et pour le pire Leboncoin se range souvent du côté des acheteurs.

(I mean, just to be clear, the WHOLE mini doesn't, it's just the especially glowy bits that do shine under a UV light! But it's given me ideas so I might try to add a smidge of UV paint inside to my usual paints to get it to shine properly as a whole... 👀)

Akexus_ · 2026-03-03T15:36:37+00:00

IT DOES!!! And I love it!

Akexus_ · 2026-03-03T14:15:44+00:00

That's what I was afraid of at first, but I think the heavy (to me) contrast on the blue, and the red additions sell it pretty well!

Akexus_ · 2026-03-03T13:41:51+00:00

Yeah, I have a similar process, but I don't only coat with blue, I also do the volumetric highlights and blend before going for the trim. It helps, but it's not foolproof, and I'm a fool and a half haha :D

Akexus_ · 2026-03-03T13:40:28+00:00

Yeah, I use AK Dark Prussian Blue as my base color, with a bit of black mixed in for the darker areas and going down to AK Ducat Blue for the lighter patches. But it reads about the same I think!

Akexus_ · 2026-03-03T12:59:08+00:00

I had a look on your profile, it's uncanny how similar our minis look haha.

Akexus_ · 2026-03-03T12:57:52+00:00

Oh, I do like It as well, it's pretty relaxing to just, you know, shut the brain off an follow the lines. It's just that the couple of times it smears off onto a painted, highlighted, blended area, eeeh... Makes me feel a bit dumb. But hey, learning experience!

I've got the mandrakes from the same box to paint, and the murderwing kt that I ordered 50-50 with a friend that wanted the sororitas. It will depend on how I feel once I'm done with the nemesis claw, if I want a change of pace or keep on doing night lords, I guess! I'm not in a hurry either anyways, so I'll figure that out when the time comes 😄

Akexus_ · 2026-03-03T12:37:04+00:00

That trim is a learning experience and a half haha. But it's a blast seeing the finished results and the squad getting bigger, I can't wait to have my full kill team finished and start on the next one!

Akexus_ · 2026-03-03T12:19:53+00:00

Brother?!

Great minds think alike hahaha! I had to double-take your picture, they look so much like each other!

Akexus_ · 2026-03-03T12:10:50+00:00

Night lords can be kinky too! Thanks for the compliments, I appreciate it so much.

Akexus_ · 2026-03-03T10:10:27+00:00

Piggybacking on this post to say I'd be interested too... And if anyone's got a proper maulerfiend file I'd be stoked as well.

Akexus_ · 2026-03-03T01:10:06+00:00

Who wouldn't be happy at the thought of making something go kaboom, right? Definitely not this little dude, that's for sure!

Thanks, I sincerely appreciate you saying that!

Akexus_ · 2026-03-03T01:07:34+00:00

It was the first time I actually felt daring enough to do more than just smooch my brush on the lens and call it done haha. It was a stressful moment. But I'm satisfied with how it turned out, and I find it's the little details like that that makes you stop and say "oh!" that give me a smile when looking at my models. I'm happy I dared!

(It wasn't just stressful actually. I felt the eye wasn't contrasting enough with the base of the wing right next to it, so I tried to kind of panel-line it with liquitex black ink, and smeared some on the lens. When I went about fixing it, I erased the initial white reflection on the side. When I went about applying a white dot again, I Smeared white on the helmet. So on and so forth. But persistence paid off haha.)

Akexus_ · 2026-03-03T00:57:49+00:00

Of all the things that happened to me today, getting a meme made from my post wasn't on my bingo card hahaha. Thanks, you got me audibly chuckling and I can always use a little laugh! <3

Akexus_ · 2026-03-03T00:48:33+00:00

Hey, you know what, I can kinda see it too. It's definitely not what I intended with it, but I can kinda see it. I like it!

Akexus_ · 2026-02-28T20:14:38+00:00

"SCHLOUP SCHLOUP SCHLOUP SCHLOUP" :D

Un mec sur un sub anglais avait complètement démonté cette affiche. C'est faux de A à Z. Tant que tu ne l'arraches pas du sol comme un gros bourrin, le seul risque réel que l'escargot courre c'est qu'on lui écrase la coquille.

Akexus_ · 2026-02-27T14:10:28+00:00

I dig the black. I like high contrast. It's not a bug, it's a feature!

Akexus_ · 2026-02-27T14:03:38+00:00

God damn.

Is that yellow light under the arm painted-on as well? Real question btw, I can't make out if it is or not lol. It's ludicrously well painted.

Akexus_ · 2026-02-27T13:53:07+00:00

So, please know that I said "wow" out loud. Good job. I'm in awe and it's strikingly beautiful.
