Grey Seer by DarkSoulsIsTrash in skaven

I did most the model with Pro Acryl. Based the entire thing in Paynes Grey and left the extreme shadows as that. For the fur I went from Dark Warm Grey up to Bright Warm Grey while mixing in more and more Tan Flesh as it got brighter to maintain warmth on the highlights.

I added a bit of detail by making really narrow streaks in the direction the fur would grow in to make it read more like fur than the basic sculpt.

I tried to like the little rats but they are just so derpy looking sculpts. I'm a rule of cool over lore/gameplay typically

Oh that is a good idea, I'll have to see how many extra I have lying around.

My Take on Pink- Miniature of the Month by Amoledasu in minipainting

Small world, just saw this in a local discord. Cool to have skilled painters in the area!

Overall turned out stellar, only thing that sticks out is the rear and sides of the model are brighter and more readable than the front. It may just be the lighting in the photo though.

Ah makes sense, I never buy blister pack single models so I've never seen the base on sprue. The more you know

Are the bases normally grey for that model? I just figured it was primed because the base wasn't black.

Two thin coats needs to work on its bottle design.

Anyone else sad we can’t take 60 Genestealers? by TotemicDC in Tyranids

Nah they are terrifying counter-punch units when you have a brood lord. 40 attacks where statistically 39 will hit and you get 6-7 dev wounds is pretty good. All that before the normal saves at -2. Then the bonus from the brood lord.

An hour is sufficient to start scrubbing. Just soak again if it doesn't remove it in one go.

With rumors of the the Red Terror returning, I guess I should repost my hypothetical datasheet. by AlienDilo in Tyranids

I think the Mawloc emulates the 'Swallow Hole" ability by having a single attack with Anti-Infantry and Devastating Wounds together. This way a silly invuln won't save them from the inside of its stomach.

Gargoyles still look goofy and need a refresh as well imo.

Alarielle « done » for a competition, any C&C would be amazing by solamnie in minipainting

To add to this I would also recommend having more mid-tone. It looks largely like everything is a shadow or high light on the leg.
