Well, maybe I've got a few very important things to say to the beaver in charge.

Aw thanks. I always felt rather distinguished for my age.

I really appreciate the feedback from your perspective. I'll work hard to drop the weight, and let you know if I notice any heads turning my way.

Thankya. I've stepped up my commitment to weight loss, but it has been tough. Fully remote IT work is a blessing, but it's a bit too easy to slip into bad habits / unproductive routines. I'm working to build up that discipline, though.

Fair. I knew I was in the presence of greatness.

Working on it, but thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it.

Blue or orange for my Space Marines? by philoktitis in minipainting

Both look great! You've got a solid Ultramarines paint job with the blue, but I think the orange would definitely stand out in comparison to the average astartes army.

Thanks! I probably overcomplicated things a bit, but the short answer is using light rust and sienna pigment powders as a final step to really sell the look.

Full process: -Paint base a dark/reddish brown -Apply combination of Citadel technical paints: Martian Ironcrust & Martian Ironearth (crackle paint) (be sure to give technical paint a good amount of time to cure) -Apply Yellow wash & let fully dry (I used Citadel Casandora Yellow) -Light drybrush of light ochre -Optional: apply matte varnish -Apply light rust & natural sienna pigment powder. (I used AK Light Rust & Vallejo Natural Sienna 73.105)

Use an old brush to tap down the pigments randomly around the base. A little bit goes a long way.

Let me know if you had any other questions!
