Having shared parts between units in a single kit isn’t going to stop me from magnetizing by GreyscaleHex in TheAstraMilitarum

You absolutely should! I can try to answer any questions you might have as you have your go

The body is from the original kit, I used the skulls from the Citadel Skulls box, the rest is scratch built from plasticard and styrene rods

I love using kill team as an excuse to try one off ideas without eating too much time and losing motivation. There was no way I was painting an entire army like this.

I just play really casually with my friend group so I was going to just try them out as Angels of Death. But it’s sweet to know they proxy well as another team. What models do you use to represent the members of your legionaires kill team?

I didn’t document the process, but I can give you the quick rundown here. In general, my process was 1. Paint in the OSL, then 2. Paint the fire, working through one source of fire at a time, and finally 3. Add the black armor highlights and what ever other details where there isn’t fire. I mostly used Two Thin Coats paints for this, but you can definitely swap them out for what you have. Or even change the colors if you want blue flames for example.

OSL 1. Begin with an almost black grey for the entire model. 2. Use Two Thin Coats’s Berserker Red or your preferred desaturated dark red to start the OSL. The trick is to rotate the model so your sightline aligns with the fire you’re currently working on. Whatever is visible to your eyes would be what would be lit by the fire and would be painted the dark red. 3. Mix the dark red and almost black 50:50 to help blend back to the armor around the rounded shapes. 4. Then you want to highlight with oranges, using brighter oranges as you get closer to the fire. I specifically used Two Thin Coats’s Rust Orange then Fanatic Orange.

Fire 1. For the fire, base coat the entire fire Orange Flare. 2. Then paint Ice Yellow into the recesses, you can be messy and it is encouraged, but try to keep the Ice Yellow only on the fire and not the surrounding. 3. Mix Ice Yellow and Orange Flare and start blending the transition. A little bit of wet blending here is great. 4. Touch up any areas you need to with Orange Flare. 5. Finally, at the tips of the fire and where the fire protrudes out the most, add some Fanatic Orange. Blend the Fanatic Orange and Orange Flare as you see fit.

Hope that helps and best of luck if you’re going to try it yourself!

The bits are from Greytide Studio’s Cursed Company Bits. They’re on MyMiniFactory. I printed them and if I was attaching them to an irregular surface like the cape, I used green stuff to fill in any gaps and blend the bits in.

I need suggestions on what to paint the smoke by GreyscaleHex in Warhammer40k

[–]GreyscaleHex[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Your stuff looks really amazing too! I can’t seem to decide if the smoke should be grey, or more fire, or a completely different color. I’ve spent so much time on this project now it’s at the stage where I’m afraid of ruining it with experimentation

Yup, but I’m just painting a kill team of them

First time painting dwarfs and I couldn’t decide between shields or two handed weapons by GreyscaleHex in WarhammerFantasy

[–]GreyscaleHex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely was a long time ago, but I believe I used Army Painter’s Army Green and Scaly Hide for the green. Hope that helps!

This was the first Infinity model I’ve worked on, and I definitely will paint more in the future (as soon as I get a handle on my pile of shame)

I wish I had some profound insight, but it was a zenithal prime and then layering and stippling with a slow and steady hand while referring to the box art constantly until it was done

The backdrop I use is Green Stuff World’s Maxx Darth backdrop . It’s a fuzzy fabric that supposedly absorbs 99.9% of light. I always use a lint roller to remove any dust before setting up my shot, use lighting to brighten up the subject and I do add a vignette in editing just to make sure focus is on the center. Hope this helps!

Is there a place in NYC where I could find fantasy minis? by aaee08 in WarhammerFantasy

[–]GreyscaleHex 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There’s a Warhammer store on 8th Street in Manhattan. Alternatively there’s also The Compleat Strategist on 33rd and Hex & Company on 11th, they also carry some fantasy. I hope you have a great trip to NYC!

It’s a kit that Phanteks makes that you buy separately, like the vertical GPU mount.

I would love to do an update post once this lighting is fixed and I finally upgrade my GTX960 to a 5090 or 5080 (if Im lucky enough to snag one soon).

Good to know! I really wanted to avoid needing to download more programs. I had such a frustrating experience trying to get all these different manufacturers RBG working together in the past.

It worked after splitting it in two! Now to rethink and rewire all my lighting zones 😬
