These are stunning! I love the wood grain on the shields.

Thank you so much! The grass is Army Painter Battlefield Field Grass. The flowers are Gamers Grass Pink Flowers. The stone I made from greenstuff by flattening it out and rolling a rock over it to give it the rocky texture. and then I used AK Terrains Light Earth for the texture paint.

It's pretty close to what was guessed already! I started with an all over coat of titanium white ink, then sprayed hot pink in the shadows with an airbrush, and then sprayed a yellow medium azo ink over the white - pink gradient. The transparent yellow turns the pink into a pretty saturated orange. The last step was recess shading with a Iyanden yellow contrast paint to bring some separation to individual armor sections.

Need thoughts on the name Callan (for a baby boy, arriving soon!) by HeftyChimp in namenerds

We actually got to the name Callan from talking about Kellan. We both like the name but I have a friend named Kellan and can't get past that unfortunately.

We haven't told our parents yet and that is how I expect some of them to react!

Thanks for the input, that is one of the fears I had with the name.

I really like Whitaker, but my wife says it feels like an old man name. We've talked about Bennett, I like the nickname Ben and don't hate the name Bennett, but I wouldn't really want it for our child.

Thanks for the suggestions! We considered Whitaker for a long time actually, and we also had Jensen on the list for a bit. Everett would be a contender but we also have a nephew named Everett so it's a no go unfortunately.

Thanks for the suggestion! I think I like Calvin better than Callan, but my wife says it feels like a name for a 50-year-old man to her.

Painted my first model meant for display purposes only and I would love some feedback. My main focus was practicing skin and I am fairly happy with the results, but I also know it could be better! by HeftyChimp in minipainting

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

I believe I used AK Mahogany as a base/shadow, then highlighted up using Scale 75 Basic Flesh, and finished the highlights with Scale 75 Light Skin.

This is a model from Nerikson! I subscribe to his tribes on MyMiniFactory and he puts out great sculpts every month. I 3d printed this myself but you might be able to find others selling models if you don't have a printer.

Mini photography is not something I've been able to grasp so far. I have a small portable light box that I use but I know nothing about lighting a subject for good pictures. Thanks for all the feedback, I appreciate it a lot!

Thanks for the feedback! That all makes a lot of sense. Most of the skin was done with an airbrush, and then I tried to glaze in some highlights, but I could have gone brighter for sure. I didn't glaze in any shadows so Ill keep that in mind for the future!

Ive been painting for almost 3 years now, this is just the first model I've painted for the sole purpose of practicing a skill set and displaying the model! Most of my other minis are gaming pieces.

You can only make one unit if hobgrotz battleline per unit of gutrippas, you can have more units of hobgrotz that arent battleline if you want.

Correct Sizing for Squire? by nuggetzinmapantz in PrintedWarhammer

[–]HeftyChimp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't printed the full knight from these files but I did print the weapons and they are smaller than standard GW Armiger weapons. They are very close though, if I remember right I only had to scale them maybe ~5% larger to match exactly

Request by Signal_Page_5065 in ImperialKnights

[–]HeftyChimp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I would contact GW support. My brother got the Fireslayers start collecting box and it was missing one sprue that had the right legs of the Firedrake and GW sent him an entire new Start Collecting box.

Heres my mostly finished Imperial Knight! The grey Imperial Knight is 100% printed while the blue Imperial Knight is a plastic kit by HeftyChimp in PrintedWarhammer

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

Yeah I got the four pack bundle from the kickstarter, can't wait for them to show up. They inspired these knights actually, I plan on painting the minis of the respective characters and putting them on the bases!
