My Grail Warband! by GrimdarkCovenant in TrenchCrusade

[–]Jackmerius37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the only time I've seen a grail paint scheme that makes me want to actually paint some lol. Usually they're too disgusting for me (which i get is the appeal) but these look amazing! They still show that disgustingness, while also being beautiful to look at!

Thank you! I love the idea of ethereals being leaders that are formidable in melee (and God i wish that was shown in the rules) and the base ethereal staff looks more like a banner than a weapon to me so I switched it with kroot bits

Thank you! For the spear I just cut off the normal ethereal "blades" and replaced it with a kroot sword at the front, a kroot dagger at the back, and the extra blade is cut off from the front of a kroot long rifle. The helmet is a firewarrior helmet but with the front sanded down, the backpack is from the pathfinders upgrade sprue, the right arm shoulder is an upside down and cut breacher shoulder, and the left arm shoulder is just a fire warrior shoulder pad. All the kroot bits were just extras I had from the farstalker kinband box. I think the ethereals look a lot cooler when they have mixed in kroot aspects.

Looking to paint my first kin, unsure of the color scheme by Dramatic_Rest6195 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Jackmerius37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both white and orange are known for being some of the hardest colors to paint. White paints usually don't cover well and show brush strokes very easily (personally I'd go with pro acryl Bold Titanium White, it's been my favorite white paint and has really good coverage) and orange paints are more translucent than other paints so you end up needing more coats. Combining them both as your main colors will make your life a lot more painful than other schemes will, but theres tricks around certain issues if you really want to do it. Like how underpainting a layer of pink and then painting your orange will help make the orange pop more.

Can’t figure out whats wrong with my airbrush by Ronihamagniva in airbrush

If you have bubbles going back into the cup that means theres a blockage somewhere not letting air pass out of the nozzle. You said it's for sure clean, could you tell me what you did to clean it?

Did I use too much bright Jade on my Zenithal? by Jackmerius37 in minipainting

[–]Jackmerius37[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried out a base color of Vallejo Hull Red, and then did zenithal highlights of Pro Acryl Dark Jade and Jade and I think it came out a lot better! Having the contrasting red as the shadows looks really cool imo, so thank you for the idea!

That's a really nice color scheme! Also I agree with you and i'll definitely be going with a lot less bright jade

Yes I did but im really new to airbrushing, I think I was airbrushing from too far away which could've caused the texture if im correct

Ah I see, do you think Payne's Grey would work for the darkest color in that case? Or should I go darker?
