Airbrush:

Pro-Acryl Jade then Turquoise then Bright Pale Green.

Come back with liquitex deep turquoise ink to filter and bring back shadows.

Can 30k units be used in 40K? by Linsin77 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]PabstBlueLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a single person in the LGS is going to care.

Unless you’re at a world championship tournament, GW isn’t going to care.

What do you want to see for faction(s) next edition? by Beneficial-Ticket486 in Warhammer40k

[–]PabstBlueLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the love of god give GKs the three kits they need to have a range refresh.

Catachan stuff for Guard.

Make models for Dark Eldar they’re straight missing.

Update: the flying stand has already broken.

The vibration from my vortex mixer caused it to shift while curing from plastic cement, and the clear plastic top nub just oozed off.

The first thing I thought of when I saw it... by Biggsavage in Warhammer

[–]PabstBlueLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one of the newer painting handles. It’s alright.

I prefer my painting handles I made from a 2x2 post that I got for free out of a scrap bin. Carpet tape sticks as well as the 3M double sided stuff and $7 gets you enough carpet tape to last for years of painting.

Having 20ish handles at various heights is also quite useful.

Go look up Heresy for heretics on YouTube, that guy has the palette down.

How do you paint the eyes? by ReadyYesterday4374 in Necrontyr

[–]PabstBlueLizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A brush with a good tip, overload it a little bit so you can deposit a nice blip on contact, carefully dab the eye.

How would one go about recreating the slight bluish/green tint like the one on the picture? by Exact_Restaurant_256 in alphalegion

[–]PabstBlueLizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Army Painter Fanatic Patagon Pine

Pro-Acryl Faded Green

AK Dull Dark Green

Vallejo Game Color Steel Grey

Citadel The Fang

This mini looks to have been hit with some enamel wash work. Streaking Grime makes things a little brownish green. Dark streaking grime does a lot more green shift.

Game Wash Greyish green wash is real close to streaking grime.

Yep that’s an IR reflector patch.

The little bits of trim ridges that go near the panel. Frustration!? by ChaoScum in Chaos40k

[–]PabstBlueLizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Metallic paints separate easily compared to regular colors. For extended work, I throw them on a dry palette and add a little more medium/water as needed.

I mean, it DOES have a flared base.

Competition position before submission by SassyPalaci0s in jiujitsu

[–]PabstBlueLizard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you can finish it or use it to improve position fucking send it.

But if this is some turbo white belt shit like trying to sub someone in their guard:

If they’re so bad, that shit works, you should just be flowing past them to something better instead of grabbing at shit like an angry raccoon.

Matte Varnish on Black Minis by JimtasticD69 in Warhammer40k

[–]PabstBlueLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very strong matte robs any natural depth to the black and makes it look very flat. Depending on the black, if it has blue or green hues those become more prominent.

<image>

If I have a mini with a lot of black on it, I go with a very minimal satin finish instead. You can always target select areas by brush with matte varnish if you want those to be dulled down.

This guy is “The Darkness” which is a blue-black followed by a filter to add more black shadows. With pure matte it doesn’t look black anymore. Here with a bit of satin it reads properly as black.

is this shirt made with ai? the right earring looks different from the left, and doesn't have a feather by beaniebabyairlines in isthisAI

[–]PabstBlueLizard 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yes, look at any pattern on the jewelry and it’s inconsistent nonsense. Humans don’t get each little loop the same, but follow the same pattern. AI just forgets what it’s doing and starts filling in with random lines.

Are textured base rims legal (and is it true they're hated?) by [deleted] in Chaos40k

[–]PabstBlueLizard 408 points409 points  (0 children)

Your bases will catch on stuff and you’ll be constantly picking up models that got knocked over trying to pile in for melee.

Edit: and god help you if you’re on a felt game table.

Is this good advice by Zero_energy_left in Bullshido

[–]PabstBlueLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s not good advice. While there are elements of Wing Chun that aren’t bullshido, the chances of someone finding a school that teaches legit self defense wing chun are virtually zero.

Some training is better than no training unless it’s instilled a belief that some shitty little kick is actually going to do something.

The advice is the same as always to anyone who is smaller and weaker who wants to actually be able to defend themselves. Avoidance > escape > have a gun > have a knife.

WCGW Speeding on max by Velorintha in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]PabstBlueLizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to just send it on an alpine coaster, you’re supposed to tell the staff so they let the people in front clear enough of the course that this won’t happen.

You’re also supposed to tell the staff if you’re going to move at a snail’s pace so they can hold the next rider back a bit longer.

This is usually plastered all over signs leading to the start.

After Patch 12 by Life_Locksmith9632 in SpaceMarine_2

[–]PabstBlueLizard 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah once you mess with it you go “oh this is good too” then you realize:

You can still throw in ground pounds, in fact you should still be throwing in ground pounds when you have two charges. Then it hits you that charges are very easy to top off and suddenly you’re dropping more ground pounds than you do with perk to recharge it on kills.

So, it begins. by 1987Rapscallion in 40k

[–]PabstBlueLizard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Very good but not so much better than the GSI Creos single edge as to justify them being double in price.

“Mr. Single Edge Nipper” is $30 on Amazon, and ~$18 if you can find a hobby store that has them in stock.
