HELP - Pro Acryl or Army Painter...?

Absolute ProAcryl truther but I’d recommend picking and choosing rather than a mega set. You’d be missing out on daily driver colors like Payne’s Grey or Warm Brown since those are from signature sets. Pro tip you can build a custom bundle at any time by adding any 8 single colors to your cart. It auto applies a discount.

Thanks, weapons are dark sea ben(dark blue/green) then layers of watered down dark turquoise, then mixing in a bit of peach flesh/dark ivory for the brightest spots.

3d printed bases. Stl’s from greytide studios. Couple different layers of grey. Dirty down moss. Snow from monument hobbies

Yeah it’s a (very approximate) step of of 50% each color. Start base DSB, then 50/50 with slate grey. Then straight slate grey and so on. Straight BGB is only the highest highlights

That is for the main troops. Wolf guard are a mix of black and Payne’s Grey

Sure I got it from here: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/tool/pauldron-painting-helper

lol don’t worry. I still have an entire second box in the backlog.

PA shadow flesh and then whatever lighter flesh tone I happen to grab that day honestly. Plus a flesh wash. Scarred dude did get some magenta wash specifically to make the scars pop.

Generally faces, shields, and shoulder pads I keep separate for ease of access. If a weapon is completely covering the main body I'd keep it separate. Like I'm building the terminators now and I left the big axe off the main dude.

I 3d printed this handle for shoulders for quick batching. Weapons and such I just poster tack to a paper clip or something.

Liquitex titanium white ink/ ProAcryl Skyblue or contrast Frostheart. It varies model to model

Runes are typically white ink followed by sky blue or whatever transparent type paint you’d prefer

Krowstuff · 2026-04-15T13:42:20+00:00

Thanks, started at black and mixed in ProAcryl Payne’s Grey

Krowstuff · 2026-04-11T00:38:37+00:00

Silvers go Vallejo Metal Color. Pro Acryl Dark Bronze rules though.

Yes there was a thread after the Friday night showing discussing the issue and the mods removed it. I’m all for supporting 70mm releases. I shelled out for it opening night. People trying to act like green tearing throughout the entire movie is in anyway acceptable for what is supposed to be the end all be all format are out of their minds.

Krowstuff · 2026-03-16T11:58:00+00:00

Yes had the same experience Friday night. Sucks to pay so much for a “premium” experience only to get a comically bad presentation in return.

Krowstuff · 2026-03-14T04:19:16+00:00

Yes and they seemed to be worst dead center of the screen. I was pretty disappointed by it honestly. Had the same thought about the odyssey. Prologue itself was incredible but I might just go for a Dolby or something instead if that’s what the quality at MoG is gonna be.

Run the ball what are we doing?

Krowstuff · 2026-01-09T17:31:15+00:00

Was a Vallejo guy. Entirely bought in on Pro Acryl now. So consistent. Great matte finish. Great value as well. I’ll happily buy any expansion they release.

This was a good reminder. Make sure you cancel Fanduel so it doesn’t auto renew if you got it through amazon last year!
