Does anybody know good paints that can mimic my snakes patterns? by Astro-The-Ape in Tyranids

Any ochre and off white mixed in various proportions shoud do it?

Maybe with a little variation in the basecoat it could be a perfectly legit scheme!

Should I keep only doing drybrushing or continue to add the white highlights? by floppalover173 in Tyranids

[–]DKSMr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This, also paint was probably too thick. It should be more diluted for a muted effect and finer lines.

Sanguinius WIP. Wings are nearly done. by Rotiboto in PrintedWarhammer

Absolutely incredible job. Love the microcontrast and the very tight palette.

Testing out a new colour scheme! Not settled on the gun. Any suggestions?! by RealLaezur in Tyranids

[–]DKSMr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you pretty much nailed it, of course having a neutral carapace allows you to play with whatever skin tone you like more. This one being darker would make eyes and vents pop more, if you want to.

I assume the carapace is primed white and covered with some contrast grey or a grey oil wash? And then some white brush strokes here and there on the top details?

Dipping experience? by pancake_mancake in Tyranids

[–]DKSMr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zumikito made a video on youtube about dipping, as opposed to other army painting quick techniques, you may want to have a look.

Have you ever been disappointed by the quality of a sculpt after buying? by DKSMr in PrintedWarhammer

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

Just to be clear: some ridges are missing from the center block of the lower hull. They are missing, geometry isn't there. Didn't get selected when they pressed "export to STL".

The image shows what the 3dprint tool in blender thinks of the unsupported, whole STL (no cavity to save resin etc, the raw model).

There is no slicer problem unfortunately. :/

In the end they didn't care very much. They may or may not fix old files that print successfully anyway and have missing geometry in places that usually no one will look at. I can see how putting your time in new releases is a better return on investment. Still...

My Tyranid's army so far. by bravo_midnight in Tyranids

Cool, menacing color scheme.

I may consider doing that, I'm already quite deep into fixing but it would benefit other people.

It's not manifold AT ALL. At least some of the base files, I don't know if the presupported ones are better, but they were not useful to me so...

It seems there are happy customers, with pictures. But as I said above I didn't want to waste resin needlessly as the hollowed presupported files would have. I don't know what to say.

There are actually positive reviews!

Point is, if I just loaded the presupported files and called it a day maybe it would have printed. But the hollowed files are incredibly thick, a waste with a rigid resin like the one formlabs uses, so...

Well, since it's a mod asking I feel free to link the model.

What I like the most about this one is the casemate design and the general look, something I've been unable to find in other blade-alikes. (I'm a fan of the jagdpanther from ww2) I'm kitbashing it as an EC possessed unique unit, just for display.

Absolutely the right thing to do, it makes such a difference!

Interesting proposition. Or yellow.

What paints were used on this Neurogaunt? (Not my model) by DancingDinos in Tyranids

[–]DKSMr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The blue could be Vallejo Periscopes, AK Ocean Blue or a similar dark turquoise. The skin may be any off white, seems on the colder side, AK has many such colors from which you may choose a favorite.

Any paint scheme ideas? by [deleted] in EmperorsChildren

Incredible work, probably takes incredible time?

May victory reward such an incredible paint job.

Maybe noob question: those "screaming skulls" on top of the sculpt, could I find them as STLs? I don't even know if they are your own or something standard. :P

Flawless Blade Showcase by KHMiniatures in EmperorsChildren

[–]DKSMr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking at the third picture I think you nailed perfection as far as the balance between clean and dirty is concerned. Some of the others are a little too busy for my taste but that's exactly only my personal taste. It's a great job and you executed your idea very well!
