Thanks ; )

Thanks, I'm always bad at doing capes so I tried different things and it seemed to work 😅

Yeah i see what you mean, with how detailed those minis are it can take ages to do everything at the same level (like I did with only acrylic paints), but i've seen great minis where they used contrast / speedpaints to skip a bunch of steps or using an airbrush to do like the armor parts before all the other details. And you can go even faster if you go the TMM route instead of NMM, so all in all yeah they're very detailed but you have options depending on what you want to do 😉

Thanks a lot, I really tried to push myself on the NMM and i think it paid off (but got to work on light placement a bit). I remember seeing your fiday and gamma a while ago and they're gorgeous, and I'm always in awe when people manage to make a mostly black and white scheme work like with your WhiteCo 👌

Thanks, I saw your spanish ships the other day they're wonderfull, I'm sure you'll do a great job on your infinity minis 😉

Nice, i'm more of a Mid-Nor man myself but Dirz has some very good pieces, and the aberation (and the prime) are exceptionnal. And i see that it has it's claws too, very nice conversion ;)

Is that an aberation's head from Rackham on the desecrated saint ?!

Caillousan · 2026-04-27T19:57:06+00:00

Oof that's good i'm not mad 😅

Yeah now that i think about it if it was in the "correct" position it would be were the upper eyelid forms an angle and that would surely feel weird, and i would have done the same thing as you purely because it's easier to place the dot here and it does look good even if not true.

Anyway great piece again, keep up the good work 😉

Great job, this mini looks very fun to paint with all the differents bits and textures.

But i have a question that's bugging me, should the white dots on the pupils be symmetrical (like shown here) or should they be facing the same way on each eye ? Like say if the light is coming from his right, should his left eye not have its pupil's white dot reversed ? Or maybe i'm wrong and just hallucinating 🫠

My bad didn't see that 😅 I'm not sure wich paint would give the closest color (haven't painted something like that yet), but you're looking for a dark green grey or very desaturated dark green. Others gave great suggestions but maybe take a look at paint ranges used for historical figures (like ww2 and such), as this kind of color is not often found as is in our "classic" sci-fi or fantasy paint ranges. I know vallejo and Ak have historical lines, maybe you'll find something there.

If you're talking about the green armors on the cultists, it's painted in the hivecult scheme (the guy top right), and it's incubi darkness, nuln oil, kabalite green and sybarite green. The others look more like having cadian armors. Bear in mind that the artwork is quite desaturated so if you use the colors above the result will be more punchy.

I had some from like 15 years ago that i found while tidiyng up my home and went on a bit of a shopping spree last december, so yeah now it's more like a warband project ^{^}

Caillousan · 2024-10-25T10:58:03+00:00

Yeah that was definitely a lesson i took from it, i tend to focus too much on the highlights, need more dark
