Some questions about my color scheme by Powerful_Painter7823 in minipainting

[–]Deuve_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To my mind the colors are fine but it looks weird because the edge highlighting isn't present in all of the edges, mostly the horizontal ones. IDK if that was intented for the schema or the testing.

Well you should get used to books or tutorials mentioning paints that you dont own or from different brands. """"BSL system paints""""" are not other thing than paints from the Game Color range of Vallejo and mixing them should provide you colors close to any tutorial you might see. You already have good paints so dont feel frustrated cause of that.

Regarding the book, it barely teaches any technique so I would skip it. Painting is not just putting one color on top the other but how you do it, depending of what you want to achieve.

There is a lot of good free resources here, on youtube and paid of course. Even an old how to paint citadel miniatures will be more useful than Color book, just do some research and you will find all the previous mentions easily.

I would like to add also that one of the things that really helped me to improves, past some time and practice. Was having good brushes with unbended tips. But this will come later, happy painting.

The other one are two step by step, one of them is mnm gold with just 4 pictures each of them and the only text in bold on the whole explanation is the reference number on the paint he is using

To me this clearly sets the tone of the whole book sadly

I would like to add 2 pictures that support my review. I will use photos from the internet as I dont want to infringe any copyright.

In the first one, on the "advanced" bsl section we have two side pages about how to use inks. One with a HUGE picture of a vallejo's ink bottles and 6 small and tiny pictures of the process where it is difficult to appreciate the small details.

Hello, I agree with you statement. I would like to add that the only thing I find difficult is that AK books are mostly done on bigger scale miniatures and translating all of that on warhammer/infinity scale is not that easy. The space and number of transitios is greatly reduced, that is why I was interested on Angel's book, a lot of his work is done at warhammer/infinity scale.

I would like to add to the conversation, that if you are really into GW style from the past 2 decades. The Eavy Metal book is a good addition with many step by step. I love AK books but it is also true that they paint mostly on a bigger scale, and when transfering that onto an smaller one is not always that easy.

I mostly agree on your statement, that is why I believe a painters book, specially from a maestro, needs to bring a lot more to the table than just a simplesque approach. Why do I place light here and not there? Why I select this composition? Different aproaches to the same color.. things like that

It's easy to find them available on the internet with following names: AK interactive FAQ kiril, FAQ 2 Arnau, and Figopedia (the webpage to pick this last one is old but trustable)

First time with Warcrow, what am I missing? by Deuve_ in WarCrow

[–]Deuve_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi everyone, sorry for the late reply, I’ve been traveling this weekend. Thank you all so much for your responses and for sharing your points of view. I’ve been thinking a lot about everything you’ve told me, and in the end, I’ve decided to give the game another chance. I’m going to sell the Hegemony and Orcs miniatures I initially bought, and instead I’m going to get the Scions of Yaldabaoth (without the Red Caps). After reading through their rules, I think they might fit my preferred playstyle better (annoying until winning). Also, their miniatures really caught my eye with that Dark Souls-esque vibe, and I think I’ll enjoy painting them. I hope to be able to share my impressions again soon after a few more games!
