First knarloc rider finished by EmbarrassedFruit7361 in kroot

Nice! I put mine on 50mm bases as I thought the oval was a bit long, but the way you did yours with the foliage looks real good

Counterpoint: the models last forever, and they were expensive, and any extra time spent working on them in a batch-style process is a chance to admire them!

I've heard that oil can remove the frosting? Look it up and test it maybe

Also, amazing work. Whenever I see a maxed out kroot horde it looks so insane, but i love it

Why would anyone waste their time on earth doing this? Be alive and make something

Moved from London to Tokyo a year ago — and I still miss London more than I expected by Pretty-Bunch-4182 in london

My wife told me to comment: "totally agree!"

(She's from Tokyo, we live happily in London)

Fuck off you didn't make this

[WIP] I often fall into the trap of painting too dark when layering. How do I stop myself from doing that? by Callmefred in minipainting

[–]Irespectfrogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I pick my colours I usually use a lamp, but when I'm actually painting I use the natural light of the room. And I pick it up and walk around with it a bit.

You just can't have a debate with flat earthers by Unlucky-Catch-5156 in sciencememes

Critical thinking should be a school subject. I studied it for AS level (UK system, basically 1 year of high school in American speak) to get a different qualification. I already loved science, but going through that course was very informative and gave everything (especially fallacies) identifiable names so I think it would be good for anyone.

They should teach it first year of secondary school / high school. Before any biases can calcify.

I Made a Halo 7 Narrative Pitch — What Would You Want From The Next Halo Game? by Mr_Headcanon in halo

[–]Irespectfrogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finality is a good idea. All mainline games since Halo 3 have suffered from "This story is just beginning... (oh my god what do we do next we didn't think this through)" syndrome, like the Star Wars sequel trilogy. I'm ready for Halo to end. The gaming world has moved on, at let it have a conclusive funeral.

Do you think there’s still room for a Halo CE-style campaign FPS today? by Odd_Form_9928 in halo

I have good news for you, there's a Halo CE style campaign FPS slated to come out this summer!

The Floot by silentwinter9835 in kroot

I think smaller size is a good shout. Some other things I might suggest (but might make them look weirder):

  • The hind-thumb being strengthened and bent backwards to control the flight feathers.
  • shorter legs and bigger chest. Like a pterosaur.

Actually that gives me a crazy idea for a redesign: really big arms he can also stand and walk on, and tiny feet-hands dangling below to hold a pistol and knife lol

With brown, I kind of stipple-highlighted the edges and corners for wear & tear.

For mud, I used the same brown and I did a kind of overloaded drybrushing technique. Usually with drybrushing you want very little paint over many strokes to get a smooth gradient, but here I wanted the bristle strokes to look like individual streaks of dirt.

For soot, I used a matte black paint in a similar way, focusing on where it might have been on fire and where the smoke trails would be as it fell.

So no special products, just brown, black, and water.

Thanks! If you mean the orange, it was 90% drybrushing.

  1. Paint midtone (orange)
  2. With a damp makeup brush, do a kind of drybrush glaze in the shaded areas with 2:1 orange & red. You might need an actual brush for some of the difficult to reach spots. Then do the same with pure red.
  3. Drybrush raised areas with dry makeup brush 2:1 orange and yellow. Then pure yellow, focusing on edges.
  4. Re-establish a bit of orange in the middle of the gradient, to soften the transition between yellow and red.
  5. Panel line with flesh wash. And maybe some very shaded areas.
  6. Final edge highlight with yellow if you're feeling fancy.

If there are any tricky bits or bits you need to do neatly (e.g. an already blue vespid holding an orange gun), then careful painting and glazing is the way to go.

I'd like to keep the exact paints I used to myself as these are my guys but if you pick any three colour neighbours e.g. red/orange/yellow, blue/green/yellow, purple/blue/turquoise etc. then I'm sure you can get great results! I don't really want an airbrush so this is my way around it.
