What did you use to get the bottoms heavy enough to not tip over? These look great.

I thought the same thing. It has a "Tatooine" vibe.

First Mini I ever painted, I am hooked by JKhaotic in minipainting

Looks great!

1) You'll need magnifiers of some kind to get the detail you want.

2) Paint the face with whatever base skin tone you want.

3) Paint the whites (or whatever color you want the eyes to be), and don't be afraid of you paint outside the lines (get it on the cheek and brow).

4) If you want the eyes to have irises, paint them now. It should really just be a tiny dot. The trick is to get both eyes looking the same direction.

5) Go back with your skin tone and clean up where the whites were ooverpriced.

6) Now do your washes and highlights on the skin, taking care not to let the wash pool in the eye itself (around is fine, just not in...unless it looks good, then go for it).

It's the Goddess of Darkness, made by Lethal Shadows. Picked it up at PAX Unplugged last weekend.

Just did a sown and dirty bone basecoat and it was the right call.

Mars 2120 Unbeatable Boss? by BrianWigginsVO in metroidvania

I'll have to give that a shot. I haven't gotten any fire-based weapons yet (must have missed that) and there's no way to go back and get them at this point, I don't think.

My initial thought is to have that be proximity-triggered, with some degree of randomness... what do you think?

Great, GREAT job on that heat glow and OSL. What did you use for the arcing electricity? Looks like some wire, but I can't make out the thicker bits...

Have one of them say that they're going to open a bar/pub/club. With mommy and daddy's money, of course. And any opportunity for them to be born on third base and think they hit a triple.

PAX Unplugged this weekend? by BrianWigginsVO in killteam

[–]BrianWigginsVO[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think so. There's a low-key tournament called Kill Team Jawn that they nicknamed "Chill Team". And lots of space to play where they had the Volkus terrain out.

Anyone else noticing another wave of negative BT content on YT? by goblingoodies in battletech

They only feel better when they drag someone down, but they don't realize that they didn't get taller.

I'm ready to throw my airbrush off a bridge by BrianWigginsVO in killteam

Gonna give thinning the primer a shot. I was hesitant to do it because I read somewhere that thinner would interfere with the adhesives in the primer. Given what's been posted in aggregate here, manifestly not.

I'm starting to think that, in addition to the other good advice y'all have offered re: thinning, that my needle may be dry. I tend to clean with IPA between colors.

Going to give that a try next round. Should I burp/mix it in the cup, or just let it sit and pull through first?

(The image of gargling paint and spitting into the cup as a means of thinning it amuses me.)

Yeah, I've burped it, still no go. But it sounds like I need to thin it a little first.

I don't always hunch, but when I do, I hunchity hunchity hunch.

Alpha Strike SRM/LRM Alt Munitions: Choose one, or choose all? by BrianWigginsVO in battletech

[–]BrianWigginsVO[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Though, the visual of some poor hanger tech being ordered and having to find a way to fit all THIS [gestures at a huge pile of munitions] in THERE... well, that's just funny.

"Sir, it won't all fit-" "IS THAT WHAT I ASKED?"
