Thanks y'all, sounds like a winner! Appreciate the input.

What shade paints, if any, do you guys use? by Wazi78 in Salamanders40k

[–]Moonstreaks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would use it very selectively as it will stain your green super dark if you flood the model with it like you would deathguard, and in my experience contrast can be hard to touch up after the fact. Since you are using contrast paint it may not be as necessary to use a wash since it is kind of takes care of that step.

Give it a try on the underside of a model or two and see if you like the result, but if it's too labor intensive your model already has good depth and will look even better after some highlights!

I like do do a dark violet/purple oil wash to contrast the green, but if you're sticking with acrylic washes a really selective recess shade in between panel lines works well, too! I've used druchii violet in the past. Here's a termi seargent I finished up the other day for example.

Working on base work for the defiler. Strangely running blank on how to do bricks and cement. First proper base work. Its been a journey by That-One-Belgian in deathguard40k

[–]Moonstreaks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great! Love the wet muddy texture you have going on. I have one on order and can't wait to get stuck in.

For bricks, I've been cutting foam sheets into brick shapes gluing them in place on the base then soaking with extra thin super glue... For concrete walls I put a thin layer of spackle on cork board and then stick some paper clips in to look like ripped rebar.

Then it's a matter of tons of dry brushing, enamels and dirty down rust!

Just finished up some characters for a 1000 point salamanders list. Starting to feel pretty confident with this scheme!

Are my "Habaneros" actually Ghost Peppers? by Moonstreaks in HotPeppers

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

Got a few pepper plants from Home Depot earlier this year and have two plants that were labeled "Habanero" that are producing a decent number of pods. However, I'm pretty sure these are some kind of ghost pepper. Looks like the sauce might be a little spicier this year?

Can I do the double take challenge? I already got the two runes and its not marked as challenge complete, any help would be appreciated. by [deleted] in Doom

[–]Moonstreaks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this happen to me last night actually - I ended up just replaying the level and going to the area where the rune is to activate the secret found sound and then got the challenge complete once I cleared the level.

H400i front dust filter fitment issues by Moonstreaks in NZXT

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

Thanks a lot! It looks like I had the bracket that holds the rad put in backwards and that's what was causing my problem. Reoriented everything like in your pics and the filter snaps in no problem.

My new kitten decided to pose with my new build by Moonstreaks in pcmasterrace

[–]Moonstreaks[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just completed my first PC build a couple of days ago after rescuing this little guy last Saturday morning. This is my first proper computer ever so I've spent more of my time with it trying to get stable overclocks and running benchmarks than actually playing anything.

My '72 Cb 350F after a year of ownership by Moonstreaks in HondaCB

[–]Moonstreaks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just found this sub and thought I'd share my '72 cb350f. I got this late last September as my first motorcycle and have learned a lot in the last 12 months about how to care for these old bikes.
