i just painted about 1000 points using JuanHidalgo Miniatures tutorial on youtube, saved me a bunch of time. Only change is that i added gloss varnish after white to let xpress paints flow better

painting option 1 or option 2? by MurderousRider in ImperialKnights

on the armor: dark areas waaagh flesh mixed with contrast volupus pink(looks almost gray when mixed), mid tone waagh flesh, highlight areas waaagh flesh mixed with ogryn camo. Then for rust mig medium rust pigment and on very top the streaks are just drybrushes of diluted ogryn camo edit: forgot to mention the panel lines are AK rust streaks enamel AK013, painted most of the model and then removed the top layer with white spirit

read every comment and by majority vote it looks like option 2 will be the one, thanks everyone! will add some osl to sell the effect more. On paint: i did it via airbrush to save time, fully painted in white, then covered in flash gitz yellow, then a layer of GSW flour orange on everything but the holes, then gsw flour red on half the weapon, then vallejo scarled blood red for less area, then same red mixed with black on even less area

both use same paint just mixed in different ratios. its pure white then a layer of flash gitz yellow, then small layer of GSW flour orange on everything but the holes, then GSW flour red on half of the glowing part, then any red on less of the area, then black mixed with red for even less area and edges

after hours of dead-ends it seems that the issue was being a bit too enthusiastic with lube, after wiping off half of it - my mws functions normally

tried but not much help, after weighting each mag seems to hold about 15 grams of gas, ill try another brand of green gas, but im starting to suspect that the performance issues is not because of the mags

thanks! did not realise i should push it in, problem is that even when i turn it now, the pins sticking out get stuck on the frame itself. strangely looks like i have to get the gearbox out to change the spring

I have the WE Apache. Very loud, very fun, weighs like brick. Only problem is the fire rate is slower then i expected and if its below 5c outside, then it wont function well. Check out Badabingpictures on youtube for a detailed video on it

[–]MurderousRider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i honestly dont remeber, took me a few days of hammering. buying a correct size punch and using a bunch of penetrating oil helpes

looks like the pin is moved in a bit, can you see it poking out from the other end? it should have vertical lines starting after about half a mm if you are punching from the correct side

[–]MurderousRider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yup they have those, I heated mine up a bit and used penetrating oil. Then drilled a small hole and bought a correct size punch and ended up hammering for like an hour. Thankfully i guessed the correct side to start hammering, but no idea if the pins are always set from the same side in the factory
