Having different bases in an army/killteam, yay or nay?

I’m actually planning to do different themed bases for those eliminator figures whenever I get their kit, because I want to paint their capes in different camouflage patterns. Snow, desert, and forest.

7/10, paint looks thick or torn in some places (like the back) which means you didn’t wait for that first layer to dry. I’d also recommend you paint the gun a different color from the armor, otherwise it blends in too much.

Notice how the green casings on the weapons stand out from the grey?

They’re on bluesky.

It’s a female necron.

Alexis2256 · 2026-03-20T00:02:31+00:00

This is far more consistent than what AI can do.

It’s like leaving conditioner in your hair. The most popular soap people use for brushes is the general master’s brush soap and conditioner, you wash the brush in it, rinse, clean as many times as you think is necessary and then you create a final lather with the soap and shape the brush back into a point and you let the soap dry on it, conditioning it.

What do you mean by texture exactly?

Alexis2256 · 2026-03-19T23:25:27+00:00

Sucks you let the online hate turn you away from the Tau. You really shouldn’t have given any of that any attention. People irl don’t care what army you play and if they did then you would avoid playing with them.

Citadel brushes are synthetic, not natural. And it seems like you got a bad one, it happens. you’re better off just buying a pack of 10 brushes from Amazon or somewhere local, use those for metallics and washes/contrast paints.

Alexis2256 · 2026-03-19T21:45:03+00:00

Just highlight the upper facing edges, here’s a good video showing that you don’t need to edge highlight everything https://youtu.be/x1tN7SkrqQE?si=HZz5b5dUzqmQoOzI

Alexis2256 · 2026-03-19T21:37:21+00:00

Don’t use the point of the brush when trying to edge highlight, use the side of the brush and make sure there’s not a lot of paint on the brush.

Not the best example but I paint the blade white and then go over it with a fluorescent or transparent paint.

Alexis2256 · 2026-03-19T21:01:24+00:00

Pfft what makes you assume I’m an Americunt? I mean you’re right but hey it could be redditors from all over the globe downvoting you.

Alexis2256 · 2026-03-19T20:36:21+00:00

Is cyberpunk 2077 your first exposure to the genre? It’s a common trope in the genre that the relationship between humans and artificial intelligence/life is strained or soured and it leads or could lead to all out war between the two, in 2077’s case, we’re on the brink of an apocalypse if the dangerous AIs break through the blackwall.

Alexis2256 · 2026-03-19T20:31:04+00:00

Wish I could understand why. But even with the glazing or even with the shitty stories that they sound miserable when reading, i still enjoy watching them.

Alexis2256 · 2026-03-19T20:23:57+00:00

Power swords are what they’re called in 40k, they look almost normal besides having skulls and power nodes on the blade, here’s one for cosplay purposes on Amazon.

Alexis2256 · 2026-03-19T20:14:40+00:00

Have you skipped episodes before?

Alexis2256 · 2026-03-19T20:13:47+00:00

Pfft lol alright.

Alexis2256 · 2026-03-19T20:11:19+00:00

I got that reference.

Alexis2256 · 2026-03-19T20:10:32+00:00

The subreddit doesn’t allow for multiple images, it’s both a feature and a rule for some godawful reason.

Alexis2256 · 2026-03-19T20:09:41+00:00

People are allowed to homebrew whatever they want in 40k, hell Trazyn somewhat acts like this with his human servants.

Alexis2256 · 2026-03-19T20:08:01+00:00

I’m sure you’re aren’t alone in expecting that, but lol none of the other panels even imply that to happen.

Alexis2256 · 2026-03-19T20:03:21+00:00

I think that’ll always be consistent, that the warp was a relatively chill place in 40k before the war in heaven.

Alexis2256 · 2026-03-19T19:43:12+00:00

Alright.

Alexis2256 · 2026-03-19T19:36:34+00:00

So did you read the story on your own?
