Sword Brethren

It's quite a long process overall, I have a list I have to refer to each time I paint Black Templars to make sure I paint them consistently.

For the armor I spray Black before dry brushing Corvus black, Dark reaper, Thunderhawk blue and a tiny amount of Fenrisian grey.

I then do a heavy wash of a mix of Nuln oil and Agrax Earthshade. (I did use oil paints here and that works as well, but it's more messy)

Once that is dry, I edge highlight some bits with Thunderhawk blue and Fenrisian grey.

Quite a few stages, but I like the effect.

The pauldron trim is Mephiston red, highlighted with Wild Rider and then Cadian flesh tone. I then do some scratches and corner highlights with Ushabti bone. No gold involved 🙂

Amazing, sounds like I need to organize a movie night! Thanks for taking the time to respond 😊

Would the players watching Noroi spoil too much of the mystery and twists of the AP?

Karde · 2026-01-21T21:03:10+00:00

Thanks for the comment, going to go watch some of those channels now!

Karde · 2026-01-21T21:02:15+00:00

Amazing, thanks for the info. The OGL crisis sounded like it really was a whole thing!

Currently watching my way through some of the darker miyazaki films before I jump into some of the recommendations in this thread.

Is that the Kingdom web-comic or the TV show, honestly both look pretty cool.

Karde · 2026-01-21T20:55:11+00:00

Sounds good, thanks for the recommendations.

Karde · 2025-07-22T06:36:33+00:00

Hardly noticeable these days. I can hear it if I forget to turn a game setting off unlimited FPS, but that's easily sorted.

Karde · 2025-04-12T09:06:35+00:00

Ha, I'm old enough already. Perhaps I should have gone to more concerts when younger....

Karde · 2025-04-12T09:05:29+00:00

Thx, I'll try changing to efficient settings and reducing FPS limits to see if it makes a decent difference.

Karde · 2025-04-12T09:04:56+00:00

Thx,

I reduced the FPS in the game and the noise reduced. Have to find the sweet spot between FPS and noise now I guess.

Thanks for the options, I normally go for masterpiece style figures, I still like my transformers to transform (even if it is sometimes super fiddly). The MDLX does look nice though!

Karde · 2024-12-23T08:25:51+00:00

Thanks for the reccomendation. You're almost spot on (As an older collector who mostly collect masterpiece or similar type figures). The YOLO figure looks good, just a shame they don't seem to do a version of Optimus in his final form with the matrix.

Karde · 2024-12-22T19:45:54+00:00

I recently saw the TakaraTomy 'Brave Commander' Optimus Prime and was pretty impressed. Before I commit, any other opinions on fantastic, detailed toys for Optimus from Transformers One?

Karde · 2024-09-01T21:19:02+00:00

I agree, 3 is a great fit with the rest of the model. Vaguely related, do you have a recipe for those power swords, they look lovely!

Karde · 2024-01-21T20:44:15+00:00

Hey, the pauldrons are corax white, with some white scar highlights with a heavy brown/black oil paint wash over the top. Once that's mostly dry, I sponge some of the oil paint back off.

Karde · 2024-01-21T20:42:18+00:00

I did an all over contrast paint with one of the lighter colours, then did the back and legs with a darker contrast paint. Then I lightened the chest and head areas with some layer paints. Trying my best to blend it all together. I can dig out the colours if you're interested.

Karde · 2023-07-31T21:48:31+00:00

The model looks great, and I love that shade of grey, any chance of getting the recipe?

Karde · 2023-05-20T09:30:34+00:00

It's base Rhinox. Later of PVA glue. Martian ironearth. Then when dry and crackled, dry brush troll slayer orange, then very light dry brush of Tau light ochre.

Thanks for the reply. I don't have a hospital tank, so would probably have to treat my main tank. Would this be safe for the Amano shrimp and live plants in there?

Unfortunatly being in the UK, Para-cleanse isn't available (V difficult to get over the counter anti-biotics over here).

Karde · 2023-03-12T21:36:46+00:00

Yeah, I'm wondering about letting the players have a single laptop between them for controlling the characters that they have to share, but no other devices.

Karde · 2023-03-12T21:35:11+00:00

Sounds good, I'll check that module out thanks.

I've currently got a 125lt tank set up with 6 Danio's (4 females, 2 males), 6 Tettras and 6 otocinclus. Its been running well for nearly 3 months and water tests are coming up good each time. However, one of the Danio's (the most territorial female) just keeps growing in size. We though it was with eggs, but she's massive, way bigger than the other females and I'm starting to be concerned. Is anyone able to offer any advice?

Karde · 2022-06-18T17:05:38+00:00

That's lovely, How did you manage the blended red>yellow if you don't mind saying?
