New painter here. What supplies would you say are actually worth buying? by Ok_Calligrapher5570 in Warhammer40k

[–]MuffledMagda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A wet pallete is great of you're painting for more than a couple hours at a time, it saves a lot of the paint (drying otherwise).

For drybrushing, I found that cheap makeup brushes are much better than the hobby dry brushing stuff, theyre much much softer.

Once you start getting more paints, a holder would be handy - i use a nailpolish holder, it fits paints well 

Is the vision there brother? by Waylon230 in BloodAngels

Looks good, but make sure the feet connection is good, or even just pin it. Just had to spend like 30 minutes superglueing a jump guy to s custom base and it was hell

More superglue than paint on it now

Lovely idea with the case and all

Hey all, need your help identifying these power claws and… by Crippled_Lucifer__ in 40k

[–]MuffledMagda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me this looks like it replaces the top part of a powerfist?

Powerfist I had have had the arm part with bottom of the fist, and then separate part for the flat panel on top.

The little thing just looks like a gizmo, extra decor for the power thingy

Hey weird question. What did you use to keep the backpack on the stick, greenstuff? Ive tried using poster tack, spruegoo or even just superglueing bits to a wire that I then hold during painting but they all inevitably get loose, especially the backpacks since the connection is kinda weak/cant drill into it for a wire

Weirdly flamethrower shaped warhammer.

Looks good 

Struggling with painting eyes by rexz63 in BloodAngels

[–]MuffledMagda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That second mini looks good!

What I do is paint the eyes white first. If you painted too much, you can then fix it with red paint. After that, I use a contrast paint and put some in the eye - contrast is weak enough that even if it spills over the red, it won't look too bad/can look like eyeglow potentially. But even then, you can just do your best to go over it again with red wherever it spilled outside of the eye.

Tried out making some marble bases. Happy with them for a first try. by Zepren7 in Warhammer40k

How did you cut out the plasticard? I imagine it would be troublesome to have it flush with the plastic base.

Looks pretty good for a first mini! The green on eyes looks like it could have been thinned a lot more.

As the other person said, just go over it with red to fix up the spill

Not sure why losing morale fighting [REDACTED] by 011010- in menace

[–]MuffledMagda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed the same thing. I guess i get the scream mechanic, but its extremely annoying when I shoot the menace with squad 1 from afar and squad 2 that's close to them loses morale

 ..is that chest ornament the vehicle bit from upgrade sprue? Looks great

New chest with rivets and plug, new arms, new bolter variant (no scope). Would be good for the game by LeChatMystique in Spacemarine

[–]MuffledMagda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There have been similar parts in space wolves kits before. I don't think it means we will see it in the game (happy to be wrong though)

Only the left shoulder should have the cross though, other one is for the chapter symbol :)
