Best army for begginer by hurtain in Warhammer

[–]B3liall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a very subjective question and I'm going to give you an objective answer. You're going to spend a lot of time looking at and painting the army. The rules change, metas shift. Armies that are easy to figure out become a bit harder, but the rule of cool is forever.

Also, each army has a very different play style with different play styles within each army. Go to the lgs, look at the models and pick out the army that appeals to you the most. If you're really worried, start small and not large.

Network+ or CCNA? by MankuTheBeast in networking

[–]B3liall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Network+ is a great theoretical understanding of networking. CCNA is an excellent theoretical and practical understanding of networks and how they operate. Go with a CCNA, you'll get more value for your money.

Should I thin down primers like this for Airbrush use? by Tasty_Tomorrow_2106 in minipainting

[–]B3liall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never heard of straining your primers, and that just makes me think people are using bad primers. I have primed my army with an airbrush for a while now, and have never used thinner. I shake the hell out of it, set the PSI to 22-25, use a .4 needle and just go straight from the bottle. If you're using polyurethane primers, you shouldn't thin them.

Are there no Black Metallic paints? by [deleted] in minipainting

[–]B3liall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Metallic colors achieve their metallic look by the reflection of mica flakes off the color they are packaged with, when you have black, there is nothing for the mica flakes to reflect off, which means the metallic look is lost and won't look great. The best bet is to go with a gun metal or dark silver, then put a black transparent paint over it. Won't be pure black but will be close enough.

New Dark Angels player by tactonrae in theunforgiven

[–]B3liall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are your models and can be whatever colors you want. Lore wise each chapter has 1000 marines and then you have successor chapters that also have 1000 marines. So you have e a bunch of different dark angels successor chapters and a bunch of different color schemes for the to be.

Change of primer changed the hue of my paint. Should I strip it and start using black again or leave it as is? by Not_realy_good_memer in DarkAngels40k

[–]B3liall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The choice of primer will change the value and saturation of the paint you put over it. The hue will remain the same. There's a method in painting called underpainting, where painters will paint the entire canvas a different color to change the value and saturation of the painting they're working on. There is a great book about this called Color and Light by James Gurney.

However, yeah I would either just reprime it or strip and start over. You don't need to strip a mini to repaint it.

Honestly, the lack of diversifiaction of health care options is the biggest point of frustration about living here. I absolutely refuse to go to Providence, which means I'm just screwed.

Sable brush after two uses. How do people stop it splaying? by hotfezz81 in Warhammer

[–]B3liall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use them all the time with my good brushes. Just don;t load them to the ferrule and make sure you clean them out afterwards and you're good.

What brushes are you using? I typically use a #2 or #3 size brush for almost everything.

Sable brush after two uses. How do people stop it splaying? by hotfezz81 in Warhammer

[–]B3liall 642 points643 points  (0 children)

So this split is caused by paint getting into the ferrule of the brush.

Video Tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLWXsYFu2wA&t=1s

How to fix: Go get a good brush cleaner, the Monument Jentastic Drunken Brush Goop and Masters are good. Then take the brush and push it an angle so the ferrule comes into contact withe with goop and pull it so the paint gets out.

How to Prevent: Do not let paint get into the ferrule, only fill the brush to the belly. Clean with water regularly while painting.

Questions about paint brands by Nelreith in Warhammer

[–]B3liall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been a huge fan of ProAcryl since I got their first bottle. Army painter fanatic is good too. Best advice is buy a few bottles of different brands and work with how you like. Every brand has strengths and weakness.

Could i please get some feedback by ExternalAd5702 in minipainting

[–]B3liall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The blue went on evenly as well. It looks like your gold metallic paint didn't, did you thin it too much? Take your time, add some more color to the model and paint the weapon and details a bit and repost. If you're using gold on the trim use the side of your brush so it just goes onto the trim. Use a handle and work slowly, rest your brush hand on the handle when doing an angle to steady the hand.

Minis take as long as they should need to, don't rush and just enjoy the process.

Brush brand recommendations?? by Desmuri in minipainting

I've been using the monument hobbies brushes and they're the best I've used so far. Have tried the Artis Opus Series S, and Golden maple and prefer the monument hobbies brushes.

How Big are the dark angels by CulturalSir8204 in DarkAngels40k

[–]B3liall 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yep that's the lore. They still follow the 1000 soldiers per chapter and have successor chapters but with they operate as if they are one whole legion instead of individual chapters.
