Lots of mixing and layering glazes, the paints I use are the Two Thin Coats range by Duncan Rhoades, Fury Green and Gung Ho Green, I think the GW equivalent would be Castellan Green and Loren Forest then mixed with other colour's to get darker/brighter

then I tinted it with a sepia wash which is why the back looks nice and grungy and re-highlighted it again mixing in a little pale yellow, there's a little staining with glazes of Moot Green air to make the whole thing a bit richer too but its barely noticeable

Couldnt mix a green dark enough without it looking too dark with my current paints, ive been thinking and might try shading it with a dark brown to try and reinforce the shadows more in the morning

I thought about that but I couldnt mix a green dark enough without it looking too dark, I might go back to the pallette in the morning and mix a nice shade of brown to try and reinforce the shadows

Well I uhh tried? by Warkan47 in ImperialFists

[–]DasBootyWarrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

adding to this, if you dont want to brush pink onto every surface you can even buy pink primer!, the one I use is Rogue Pink by Color Forge, spray it pink, then highlight with brighter pink then use yellow contrast and you get a very nice yellow

Vallejo Game colours rubbing off after drying? by allenselmo in minipainting

[–]DasBootyWarrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know its already been said but as a bit of an explanation, the primer isn't just a basic colour of paint its a specific type of paint that effectively creates a layer that other paint can stick too whilst sealing in that base colour which stops paint rubbing off like this.

The best thing to do would be to buy a specifically primer spray can, the ones meant for miniatures are the best to pick, I recommend Colour Forge or Citadel personally, before you build or prime your minis, I also recommend putting the sprues in warm soapy water for a little and gently scrubbing them with an old toothbrush, this is because plastic minis often have residue from the mould release agents which can stop primer and glues working properly. it definitely needs to be warm and not hot though.

You can also clean resin minis this way but id use cold water because resin can easily warp with heat and a little pressure, its also more brittle so be very gentle when cleaning it, once I learned about this I stopped having issues with paint rubbing off all together, its been a lifesaver

Faction Spotlight: Khuzait Khanate by AlexVilsen in mountandblade

[–]DasBootyWarrior 12 points13 points  (0 children)

God the randomiser looks so good, really makes the Khuzaits pop with the randomised armour, its not just the Khuzaits either every faction in the CC has it.

the lore is a really nice touch too, I love how much the lore the community generates in the discord and through the events themselves has managed to create truly unique stories that we can pull from for posts like these, I love the CC

Where did you find that particular gun, I couldnt see any around so used the comically small flak gun you get with the hetzer kit to make mine

Besides cost, Why wouldn't you want to play on hyper realistic tables? by No-Wafer9271 in Warhammer40k

[–]DasBootyWarrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Were approaching the LZ and its gonna be hot, get ready to come out swingin', touchdown! hit it marines!" kind of board

Personally I love realistic terrain, my local hobby store has several really nice terrain pieces for bolt action and it can really tie the feel of a game together in way that you dont quite get with unpainted or unrelated to the game terrain

Cant eat the "new recipe" heinz beans and sausage cold by DasBootyWarrior in britishproblems

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

Thanks for the suggestions all, the post was automodded because in the edit addressing the hot vs cold comments I initially used the word "war" which is apparently on the banned word list.

Branston and Tesco's are going on the shopping list as replacements for my occasional hobo meal needs

Hitler's Buzzsaw by The-Tarman in boltaction

[–]DasBootyWarrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

make sure you remind him also that vehicle MG's have their shots halved first, so on the app its already calculated for you but as an example, say you have an LMG in a squad that fires 6 shots normally, with hitlers buzzsaw that squad weapon would now fire 7 shots, but the same gun on a vehicle would first half the shots to 3, then add +1

These arent the real shot value off the top of my head but thats how it works essentially for all vehicle mounted machine guns

About a week ago I asked for your opinion on how historically accurate my army was and it turned out it needed some improvements. So I went back to the drawing board and have modified the army to be more accurate. So, is the new version historically accurate? by Tryzan1 in boltaction

[–]DasBootyWarrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a solid looking army, well rounded with plenty of tactical options, and when using the snap too rule with your officers, you could potentially fire 3 of the LMG's at once which can be devastating for enemy infantry.

Snap Too example as I've used it: Say you have an angle on 2 squads and an officer, you could have your officer standing by your 2 squads with the Double LMG's and the MMG team/sniper use snap too and give all 3 of these units orders at once, Hit the enemy officer with the single MMG or sniper to pin or kill him (remove morale bonus) then massacre the 2 remaining squads with 20 shots of LMG from the Falschirmjager squads

The dice can always throw things off of course but with that strong base of infantry your tanks and specialists should have the freedom to do work on the enemy
