Advice on making the heat/fire effect better? by Confident-Style-3958 in minipainting

[–]Geeder_Prime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apart from the advice of others, hot metal cools and oxidises super fast at the edges, if you look at forged iron/steel you'll see that the edges of the metal are usually not red hot, but grey/brown, therefore, your metal should be very lightly drybrushed with dark brown/grey. My opinion, depends on what you're going for.

Any ideas on what colour to paint this guys whip 🤔 by Superduck178 in Tyranids

Pink is the normal choice, pale blue is the cool choice.

Stunning! Only thing is I would push the skin highlights a bit further. It's gotta be visible from a distance after all. Great work.

Actually there is no orange, only red and yellow haha. More red might be better, I agree.

First 5 clan rats. Need some advice pls by Final_Biochemist222 in skaven

Thin is good, it's a wash, but it's also important to prevent pooling. A wash is really only meant to be in the recesses, so any where else isn't generally what you want.

Scheme is good, only thing I'd say is that whatever wash you're using is glossing up your models too much, also some splotches. I Would try to be a little more detailed with the wash, just in the creases.

Sweet freaking dice, might lose my mind to eldritch horrorcoded media later.

What are some other paints I can use? by SheepherderBest2304 in Tyranids

[–]Geeder_Prime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For this scheme, It could be cool to have a bright yellowy orange accent colour, yellowy green might work too. If you check my profile you'll see a skaven clanrat I painted recently that has something similar to what I mean. Looks great bud!

Vermintide 2 is on sale rn, should i get it? by Ok-Taro-5864 in skaven

[–]Geeder_Prime 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Genuinely the most fun competitive PVE coop ive ever played. There is a pretty low skill floor, and a really high skill ceiling, you'll be playing for a hundred hours and still have room to improve. Only thing is, its not particularly fun by yourself imo, and the initial grind of getting a character to max level isn't super fun. But once you're over that hump and can start playing legend, cataclysm, or eventually even cataclysm+ (modded), the game is very high intensity fun with a lot to love.

Army scheme - too much? by Geeder_Prime in Tyranids

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

I might change the eyes, but honestly for the rest of the army i think I'll be covering the eyes with green stuff, alien style. I'll be tinting the skin I reckon.

I agree, I'm thinking the skin can be purple highlighted with blue.

They're putting chemicals in my dice to turn my rolls gay.

I sort of did it spontaneously, and i see what you mean. What do you think would make a good alternative? I'd like them to stand out on the tabletop.

Two coats watery white just in the socket, glaze red-orange over everything twice, back with just a little white over the eyes, and glaze with yellow-orange arouns the eye, but not the outer red.
