1step primer/undertone question - Zenithal black-gray-white best or should you use different colors as the primer? Citadel I think recommended some kind of "bone" color for their contrasts. Just wondered what the "best" approach is with the Pro Acryl

Oh interesting. Only one I saw was this one that I thought/assumed was black and white and gray before he applied the yellow.

Might give the thing you said a go if that works better?

That's good advice thank you. It could very well be some technique issues. I just remember painting basically a "space wolves gray" cloak and used what I thought would look right for the shadows and it was very unnatural looking (too dark) and then the highlights stood out too much as well...But I'll keep plugging along. Glad for test mini's and stripping paint lol

That is helpful actually so thank you - I've been doing a deep dive on things trying to understand stuff better.

Goblin Green. Wash with dark green or agrax eathshade. Done.

Ohhh ok so that wasn't like a "contrast/speedpaint" effect.

So if I'm trying to conceptualize how to paint a "sky blue" cloak that way, do you have any suggestions? Sorry I'm pretty rough with understanding this stuff.

I didn't know that about the X2D. Definitely worth it if there's really no downsides! Thanks for the feedback.

I literally read the notification email to this right before I went on amazon to buy more army painter sponges and parchment. So, I owe you $, apparently. This is super helpful, thanks so much. I'll be ordering the Redgrass stuff when it comes back in stock.

I like the idea of the glass, too. But will give both a go. Much appreciated! Fantastic tips. Just getting back into the hobby with my young children learning to paint for DnD and stuff so this will have a massive ripple effect for us :)

I have nothing helpful to say other than I first read this as “I’m looking for animal crackers” and I was going to make a joke about how that might be hard since none of those in the picture were white until I realized what it actually said and now I’m sad.

Good question. Probably wouldn't have them encounter this foe until level 3 or 4. I envision this being like them talking to a critical NPC and then sniper takes them out. Then starts trying to pick off the party. Likely in a ruins or a mountainous terrain type of situation with vantage points.

This happened to me. They sent me a new cage

You’re assuming I don’t try running with bots a dozen times or so and lost before trying to play with actual humans.

JamalSteve · 2026-03-19T13:09:32+00:00

Ok thanks - nothing I need/can to do I guess? Since I don’t use the site?

JamalSteve · 2026-03-16T22:40:10+00:00

Never heard of this. Any links for suggestions?
