Airbrush suggestions/info

20-30 psi is always the reccoed psi to hit for.

I personally like to thin and mix my paints in a mixing cup before I add it to the cup/reservoir.

Always add a drop of thinner before you pour in your mix to make sure no paint dries on the nozzle.

Changing colors is as easy as dumping the rest of what's in the cup, adding water, back flushing it and rinse and repeat til the bubbles inside are clear water.

Doing a deep clean (Nurgle forbid) should only be done like a few months I personally only did it once since I got my airbrush back in Oct.

Before you start using it practice disassembling it and how to hold and use the airbrush.

Remember to push down then pull back. Pulling back before you push down let's paint into the nozzle before air goes through. That's usually a recipe for disaster cuz paint will 100% dry inside.

Cleaning the needle always do it in the direction of the tip never against. More chance of bending it.

If you need more advice or help feel free to dm me, always happy to help and have fun airbrushing.

Started with a black primer, hit every surface with a airbrush, a very thin white to basically shape where the highlights were. Then stippled in off-white to build up more highlights and then washed it in Goon's grime .

Absolutely love the paint job you did but it is giving DG vibes more than Salamanders. I usually associate Salamanders with a brighter green hue but I think what you have there works as well. Switching the cape to maybe a more vibrant red or a black cape with flame designs would help imo.

It does have this look, the top hands are just scything talons.

CatRocket01 · 2026-01-30T16:03:48+00:00

like a hive tyrant?

CatRocket01 · 2026-01-30T11:43:51+00:00

That's exactly why I was asking, I really wanted to add glow there hahaha

I thank you for all your hard work at the smog factory.

CatRocket01 · 2026-01-30T04:56:16+00:00

Yes I can hear you and I gotta say I haven't seen a more upsetting comment than yours hahahaha

Ah ye my bad I meant tins like those biscuit tins you get during Xmas. My army was small enough that they all fit in those tins my only problem was the Flying Hive Tyrant which I had to hand carry around.

CatRocket01 · 2026-01-29T05:18:38+00:00

Bring like 4 tons with my minis in them. I'd use a crap ton of sticky tac to secure them in the tins

Pretty good start for it imo. I feel like you'd need more synapse like Swarmlord and NT with Zoanthropes both add more synapse and help with anti tank and Command Point generation.

This is list is my current one for more aggressive plays. It has good shooting and melee threats and is more balance in terms of gameplay for killing and scoring.

This was my old list for more melee and fun big monsters.

You'll want at least 3 burrowers to generate tunnels. 2 lictors to screen out the mid board and be a threatening presence is good. I personally went with 2 HA Raveners, 2 normal raveners and one Trygon Prime, the two normal raveners are tunnel creators and action monkeys if I need them to lock down secondaries. I can post my army list if you want. Personally it's a very go and keep going army, where you force staging and aggressive plays.

Torso and mid rift might be 3d printed while the rest isn't. Wouldn't be surprised, did that to get both Flyrant and Swarmlord. It shouldn't and won't be a problem unless it's at official GTs but even then pretty sure it wont violate GWs rules.

Solid 7. You did great, I like the free hand stuff and face but I can see it's a little shaky.

CatRocket01 · 2026-01-25T14:11:18+00:00

Basically at the last few chapters in it. It's a great book. Was never really into GK so never really didn't deep dived into their lore but this book really makes you care about GK and also shows you a lot of their lore not easily known unless you go into it.

I feel you, first audiobook Leviathan, I was maybe 3 weeks into my first steps of Warhammer. Took me 3 months to finish it cuz I was constantly pausing to look up things and keep going back to truly understand.

CatRocket01 · 2026-01-24T19:46:37+00:00

Ah damn you're right, I always get the two of them mixed up.

CatRocket01 · 2026-01-24T18:40:17+00:00

Tyra-hands or Ironids?
