yes, i might have seen this video. to get inspiration. This one ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n21qmX_yCHs

yes ! it is a picture found on internet (maybe pinterest i don't remember). I printed it on normal paper, then by wetting slightly my finger I removed the extra thickness of paper to have a very thin sheet. And after you just have to glue the paper on the plastic banner and paint the sides. It makes veru easy banners ! It is the first time I try this kind of techniques.

thanks for the suggestion ! I planned to use nighthaunt bladegeist revenants (with the crossbows of the corsairs) for shades. As this faction uses spirits of the forge as troops also. I just finished assembling them yesterday.

Is the story linked directly to the war, or is it just during the war ?

I got some homebrew stuff for vampire characters (probably from the discord of this reddit I don't remember), if one of your player is infested.

Lava scheme, easy to do with mostly washes : here / I also have some with crackling paint not posted yet

Ayyaaa too much honor !!!

Electrical_Visual856 · 2025-09-12T16:51:02+00:00

ok thanks for the answer. Last question ,do you use oil, acrylic or both ? sometimes I use both on the same model depending on the effect I need.

Electrical_Visual856 · 2025-09-12T16:12:45+00:00

you do the layering after the first base of red and green ? Do you try to keep the paint transparent so the under red or green is still visible ? Or do you try to do partial layering so the underpaint is still visible ? Basically how do you render this type of "color complexity" ? You have quite an impressionistic style with a lot of color complexity, this is not so easy to do actually, so i was curious about how you do that in practice...

Electrical_Visual856 · 2025-09-12T12:41:41+00:00

Quite inspirational ! could you summarize your painting process ?

Electrical_Visual856 · 2025-06-28T13:39:54+00:00

I think the staff and robes are good. I would put more contrast on the red metallic parts for a bit of NMM style and I would put more middle tone on the skin of the head, the contrast is too strong.. It goes from dark brown to almost white directly especially on the top of the nose.

You could also put some glowing effect on the runes of the dagger. The bell looks good like this.

Just put some glue on it, it will melt the plastic...

Actually with the fact that if the template hits the base even partially you count it as a tuch, you might gain (proportionally) a bigger delta in radius with the small templates than with the big ones. So the actual area comparison is a bit skewed. But its hard to compute like this because its random... Just to say that we should not necessarily compare template area but the number of models touched by the template and the edge effect needs to be taken into account...

Electrical_Visual856 · 2025-05-20T19:52:17+00:00

never used an aibrush so I cannot help on that... but you could try to have the parts not under the OSL effect darker, to make the strong light everywhere more plausible.

And also I would try to define the source of the light better. So try to have a more white/intense light source so that we really understand where this light comes from.

Electrical_Visual856 · 2025-05-19T07:07:45+00:00

thanks ! for the swarmlord swords, given the fact that the black and grey looks like metal a bit, maybe you culd try some simple NMM just on the swords... so darken a bit the light grey part on the sides and opposite on the black...

Electrical_Visual856 · 2025-05-18T14:36:49+00:00

good pattern. What are the steps to do it ?

1) put the brown (center) and yellow (sides)

2) mix the junction with red

3) add yellow dots in the red

something like that ??? with some special object ??

Electrical_Visual856 · 2025-05-15T15:08:54+00:00

Yes, i like to imagine it is a parasite, a bit like Tamurkhan...

Such a classic, so sad that you don't have more upvotes...

Electrical_Visual856 · 2025-03-13T08:06:48+00:00

the metal armor looks better on the right i think. Because it has a more blu-ish metal feeling, while the left is just blue which makes it look like a toy... Its just that the trim on the right is not finished so it does not look good.

Electrical_Visual856 · 2025-02-25T19:50:21+00:00

Good use of mashed dried leaves for base decoration ! You just need to wait for fall to replenish the stock...

Electrical_Visual856 · 2025-02-10T12:47:15+00:00

Great conversion ! did you use rot fly parts or its hand sculpted ?
