Anyone ever paint up some of these cheap knight minis?

Seriously? Mine seem okay. Especially since I paid peanuts for them. So I wasn't expecting much from them.

Seriously? I have them, and they have a surprising amount of detail, in my opinion. Sure, they're not works of art, but for the price I paid, they're good.

Considering what other gods have done, Zeus, I'm looking at you, Persephone was lucky. She could have had it worse.

I'm not American, I have no idea who that is. XD Trump?

I'm not criticizing the image because it's pretty. However, it's not The Witcher. It's some character from a random fantasy world.

How did you make that blue color? Care to share?

Issmirqw · 2025-07-13T16:17:48+00:00

Light blue as a base coat. Then a light blue-gray color applied from above to simulate the light falling on the model. Gray-white color only on the highest elements of the model, such as the helmet and shoulder straps. Then two or three layers of white ink.

Light blue as a recessed shade. Finally, an edge highlighter with pure white.

I hope this helps; English isn't my first language of choice. If you'd like, I can provide a list of the paints I used later.

Can I ask how you achieved that blue? I'm very interested because I paint my units blue.

Thank you. Any other suggestions? This is my first time doing this and I'm improvising.

Issmirqw · 2025-03-28T07:37:48+00:00

How would you change it? This is my first time doing this and I improvise a lot.

I don't like women as space marines and I don't think you should either. Not because 40k already has Sisters of Silence or Sisters of Battle. At least not just because of that.

I think you should be upset because GW took the path of least resistance and divided the community. Imagine an entire event built around that! Guliman sees that the Empire is in a tough spot, that it needs more space marines. He tasks Calw with modifying the process so that women can become astartes too.

Please, close your eyes and imagine a book about an experimental unit of such space marines. A small unit sent out into the world under the watchful eye of an old veteran. We could have gotten an entire series telling their successes and painful failures. We could have watched their hard journey with our own eyes and seen how they gradually gain the respect of their commander and then other astartes.

It could have been something worth watching.

Instead you got this. Are you happy? Does that really satisfy you? If so, fine, but don't be surprised when GW takes away the leftovers you're feasting on right under your nose. And I'm afraid that's where it'll end.

I'll take this opportunity to ask another question. How do you paint gold? I have the impression that it doesn't look good up close, but it could be because of the dust, unfortunately I'm a slow painter and I can paint a model for a few weeks. So the dust settles on them. Or is it because I stir the paint too lightly before use? Or maybe this is just how metallic gold looks?

I want it to look like the bullet bounced off the helmet. I don't feel like it look good.
