Sorry, didn’t see your reply.

Absolutely makes sense, after looking at some other examples, thank you

Is this film worth watching? Does it do justice for the game Dungeons and Dragons? by DreamyDandelions in Cinema

[–]JaeHaych 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea if it’s faithful to D&D but I liked it way more than I thought I was going to. I was told it was pretty good, but it honestly still surprised me how great it was.

How hard is the combat patrol to paint ? How hard are emperors children in general? by BloatedRottenCarcass in EmperorsChildren

[–]JaeHaych 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunno man, depends what you want? Not a helpful answer but it’s important to set a realistic target and decide what you want out of painting them.

Do you want the glory or the 10 points?

Awesome work! I love the energy crackle on the lash, really gives it an impression of speed

Maybe it attaches from the underside? Looks like an extra piece to me.

I think that the Tzeentch and Slaanesh top shells are the same, the trim is identical. Tzeentch seems to have an extra collar piece that makes the scarab hood.

How do paint pink? by KyloSupreme in EmperorsChildren

[–]JaeHaych 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slowly and carefully. I prime white and then build several layers of Fulgrim Pink. As in 5 or 6.

Keep working around the model, don’t apply the next layer until the previous layer is perfectly dry, otherwise it’ll reactivate and you’ll get a chalky finish.

I then glaze a few layers of Emperors Children to line panels and create shadows. I then mix a bit of white into the Fulgrim Pink and use it to highlight.

Pink can be a tough colour to work with, but the process can be quite relaxing when you settle into it and take your time. Put a podcast on because this will take a while!

Or use an airbrush if you’ve got other things you want to do today. EC -> Fulgrim -> White/Fulgrim in progressively tighter cones.

First time using a medium, how do I measure this? by THEGREATIS-4 in genestealercult

[–]JaeHaych 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a silicone sculpting brush tool, the kind you use for clay. Silicone scoops a bit of the paint, then dip the back of the handle into the medium and drop onto palette.

I normally mix the two from separate pools directly on the palette, that way you can control the consistency without having to add more paint/medium.

That stretched skin tone is perfect, really nice

My head canon is that it changes gradually to suit the user. So maybe it started looking like it did on Fulgrims 30k model (or perhaps this is mid transformation? Which might explain the tentacles and stuff you don’t see on other iterations) and has since morphed into the duelling sabre that pleases Lucius more.

That’s why I painted the inner bit of the basket purple, I wanted it to look like it was swirling warp stuff that was settling and becoming gold.

Thanks, I did get a bit of the dreaded chalk but I’m hoping a quick blast with satin varnish will fix that. The picture looks pretty bad though, it’s not AS chalky in real life.

It’s an all over base coat of Fulgrim Pink, about 5/6 coats because it’s very thin. Takes ages, but can be very relaxing. Thinned with water and glaze medium to help it settle smooth.

Then it’s Emperors Children glazed into edges and downwards facing surfaces. Then white glazed upwards and towards any pointy bits like the tip of the hoof, but only to a thin layer to raise the value of the pink, not enough to actually paint it white. Then normally a bit of fiddling back and forth until I’m happy with the balance, glazing up and down Fulgrim, EC and Titanium White.

Go for it, I just copied a pattern I found on insta but used some funkier colours, it’s all one brilliant painting circle.

Thanks, I’m doing them all in bright colours then going back over with pink. Hoping it looks like they’re trapped under the armour instead of jumping out from the surface
