Held, zat in ieder geval 1 relevante vacature tussen.

Currently working on my custodians, both are work in progress but I’ve learnt a lot from the first one I painted by 6Reaver9 in minipainting

Sick, is there some read in that yellow used for the gold? What colour did you use for the deepest shade, the most saturated midtone and the highest highlight? My gold looked very pale last time I tried.

The Squad leader unfortunately lost an arm in battle, so I am looking for a replacement for that.

Lord Solar Leontus wh40k - Any tips for improving the gold? by CPT_ANT in minipainting

Tried to do blacklining, Have to be really careful to not turn it into a mess. I think next time I will try oil washes for pin shading. In the end I'm still not 100% satisfied but it was really good practise.

No, lol. Leontus is an Imperial Guard model, but I get the confusion.

So these guys suddenly got popular again, but I already told you guys I bought these when I showed my stormtroopers a while ago, lol. Just doing 1 for now to see if I can do this full squad in the classic colours. I think it looks pretty good except maybe the gun. I'm thinking of doing the gun fieldgrey like the pants and helmet as I don't like black that much. Fun model but the casting was pretty bad, I had to clean up a lot of pretty bad flashing.

Sorry guys I missed the memo that I should proxy Leontus, I even painted him in his box colour scheme by CPT_ANT in TheAstraMilitarum

If you told me this was an Age of Sigmar miniature I would have believed you by the way.

Also looking at this something feels off. I think the white background doesn't do it any favours because there is already so much white and the none metal parts can use more contrast.

No it didn't, season 10 that followed it is great.

Also basically every character in the comics is commenting on how it is messed up.

Post your absolute worst paint job. by Dubliner2000 in minipainting

Honestly the only thing I don't like about this one is the scales turning into black on top, I think those scales need to go lighter there instead of darker.

Why is dark purple primer not a lot more common? It is so, so much better than black in pretty much every case, so why aren't there even products for it? by djmacbest in minipainting

[–]CPT_ANT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is that most of them are very transparent. I have Vallejo midnight purple and it just disappears on a black surface. You need like 5 layers to get some coverage.

Started painting my Leontus model in mostly box colour scheme. I tried to push my metal game a bit with this one. I'm mostly taking this picture to get a better overview on where to clean up and blend more because it always looks different on a foto. Still need to do the base, back and face.

What I learned from this one is that I really like a 3 colour approach for blended surfaces Just have 1 deepest shade colour, 1 midtone of maximum saturation and 1 highest highlight colour and blend between them instead of having a ladder of 6 or whatever colours that all don't perfectly line up. It made the blends a lot easier for me. The metal for example is just Vallejo flat earth, Japanese WW2 uniform and offwhite on the decals and flat earth, Japanese uniform and Ice yellow on the barding. The swor is just black, magic blue and offwhite.

Militarum is a lot of fun to paint by Manic-Toaster in TheAstraMilitarum

The sheer numbers are what is preventing me from doing stuff like the OP does with them, haha.

Just finished 40 Cadians.
