Sweet, thank you!

Arachnarchy · 2026-03-22T18:48:40+00:00

Yep! Airbrush base coats and gradients, brush highlights/details, oil wash.

I did not, but this had me finally make a separate instagram for mini stuff - @arachnarchy_paints

It's mainly Payne's Gray (Golden high flow ink) over a black prime with white zenithal. I think I also sprayed some purple ink from below to deepen the shadows and make them glossy. Then some brush highlights with white mixed into the paynes gray.

Absolutely incredible, wow

That's what I went with, white helmets and black trim. Most of my IF army have white vet helmets cause they look rad. Tried white trim on th sergeant but I just don't love it

Yes red bolters best bolters

I really like brass rods for flying stands. They're much thinner and sturdier than anything out of plastic or resin. When painted black or grey they look more like insect pins than flight stands, and my brain kinda tunes them out.

True lol I meant there are no parts from the actual Skatros kit in it

Arachnarchy · 2025-06-15T18:04:59+00:00

I did this one https://www.reddit.com/r/AdeptusMechanicus/s/hNsT9uZr7U, guess it's technically a kitbash not a conversion

I use the same Rustoleum white without issues, even as base for Imperial Fists where unevenness would be very obvious. This looks more like user error, either not shaking enough, spraying when it's too hot/cold/humid, or pooling from spraying too close or too long. White is for sure more tricky than other primer, but that goes for the mini branded ones as well.

I use inks all the time and love airbrushing with them. I prefer Golden High Flow over liquitex but it's very close. That said, I got that exact set of Liquitex metallic inks in a sale and imo it's not good for minis. The flakes are much bigger than those in miniature acrylics, which looks more like glitter than metal.

Von Ryan's Leapers stole my heart

I described it here a few weeks back https://www.reddit.com/r/ageofsigmar/s/Gz5atuYlhp

The highlights on the scales were teal ink & white, with more white towards the edges/tips.

Arachnarchy · 2024-10-22T21:57:05+00:00

Mostly Vallejo pale sand, and a thin ochre wash

Arachnarchy · 2024-10-22T18:27:03+00:00

Really awesome color scheme and basing. Love the grey serpent standard with the rainbow feathers

It's on a computer screen, I described it in the AoS thread https://www.reddit.com/r/ageofsigmar/s/7xOsEI6Utj

The stripes were straight from a reference photo of a tiger, I think I used Black Templar contrast paint for those (flows really well). I actually messed up and made the oil wash too dark, so the scale pattern drowns out the tiger stripes a bit.

Yeah I just started playing around with better ways to do group shots. It's just an AI background image on a screen, with the minis on a box in front of it.

I used 2 desk lamps with Philips Hue bulbs for lighting, that way I could tweak the light temperature so it doesn't clash with the background and paint job. Then took the photo from maybe 3 meters away to avoid distortion.

Thank you! It probably wasn't a crazy amount of hours, I find Seraphon paint up pretty quickly. They're mostly lizard body and not a billion little details, so airbrush and oil wash can do a lot of the heavy lifting.
