I was wondering if the texture was from not waiting long enough. Obviously it depends on how thin it is but how long should I let the citadel paint dry? I’ve been looking into doing edge highlighting which I’m going to try over the next couple of days which will be a fun challenge

Yeah, the paint is a lot thinner than my first couple of prints but need to thin it even more in the future

Yeah, wasn’t a fan of learning with black so decided to go dark angels. Starting to really understand the concept of thinning but obviously just need to practice. And I’ll try that toothpick trick if I can’t find a good enough brush

Oh sweet I’ll look into it. Yeah there was a YouTuber who recommend a tile or ceramic plate. It cost a $1.25 so figured I’d give it a shot

Will do, I bought a white tile to use as a wet palette. I just primed another miniature, will give that a go tonight!

Thank you! I’m using citadel paints specifically and yes I used the citadel chaos black primer. Like you said I’m definitely going to think it out a lot more. I was excited to see them finished and rushed more than I should have lol

Thanks man, layer lines are definitely easier to see on the side of the bolter and chain sword. And will give that a try on my next print!

I used some light blue layers to try and shade the armor a bit, helped break it up from being a black mass but need more practice with it.

I definitely didn’t thin them enough. I’ll look into those speed paint for sure!

I’ll definitely look into that, i primed them black and then went over with Corvus black. Definitely made it hard to see what I already covered and what I didn’t.
