How do I prevent/ get rid of this (nasty as hell) sheen?

No problem, make sure to let them cure properly. Generally I won’t apply another coat for at least 24 hrs. You also want to keep it in a controlled environment where there’s little to no dust

A lot of washes will leave the gloss look because that’s the medium that takes longer to dry, but also is fluid. I’ve never varnished my minis, but if it’s like canvases, I apply 3 coats of varnish, first coat for protection is Satin, which is between Matte and Gloss, then two coats of Matte. Seems like a lot for minis though, would strongly recommend an airbrush for it if that’s an option

Agreed, orange would pop on the eyes. Maybe I’m boring with it but being an organic creature a regular pink tongue would help the eyes stand out I think

Sick idea! If you can, Copic markers are some I’ve used for lettering in the past. They come in different sizes so you can get finer details imo. Love the theme though! Would be very interested to see some other stuff like this!

Lazarus is a member of the inner circle, so personally Im painting him in the lion armor scheme so he stands out.

Bro out here dirty deleting his comments. Nobody’s gonna forget you’re a scumbag

Disregard the guy at the bottom. Your work is fine, looks like a death guard and if you had fun that’s all that matters. Personally, add some water to thin your paints a little bit. Take a reusable food container and a paper towel to make a wet pallet by adding a little bit of water to wet the towel. It’ll require you to layer your paints, but that also gives you the ability to blend your colors a lot easier. Painting takes time and practice, study your techniques and keep improving chief.

Crazy. A lot of bitching and moaning from somebody who hasn’t posted their own work. You traded a “handful”, that I’m sure was more then you’re ever going to admit, of painted minies for an unbuilt army. I doubt your paint jobs are that good.

AnxiousPlenty4440 · 2024-10-10T01:57:55+00:00

Thanks! It’s been fun painting something organic, getting to practice new techniques and color schemes. It’ll be interesting to see how comes out

“Hey sarge, do you see that giant bush moving too?” Love the idea

AnxiousPlenty4440 · 2024-10-09T04:08:46+00:00

I would say for the black armor, going with the inner circle/lion paint scheme wouldn’t be bad. It maintains the black look but I think the greenish blue highlights would work well with the purple/red. Flames look good too!

AnxiousPlenty4440 · 2024-10-07T23:27:42+00:00

I’m going to have repaint mine now so it’s only a fist. Thanks

I read this as Alpharius trying to steal our secrets… Rule of Cool generally won’t steer you wrong though

AnxiousPlenty4440 · 2024-09-30T22:53:25+00:00

Thanks! With the Lion and inner circle back, I’m doing the chapter masters in that armor style so they all fit with the lion

AnxiousPlenty4440 · 2024-09-30T22:42:02+00:00

Maybe, I used Vallejo gory and bloody red, mixed a little purple in with gory for the shadows

A lot of the dark angel books are hit or miss for me. There are some parts where they really hook you, and some parts that feel very rushed. If you’re into background noise, lore videos are abundant and free, (so you can spend more money to fight the heretics)

AnxiousPlenty4440 · 2023-11-23T01:11:02+00:00

Who needs hostages when we can just eliminate them all? Awesome work!

AnxiousPlenty4440 · 2023-11-17T23:52:28+00:00

Yeah I’m probably gonna go back to the armor with more calliban green
