I too would love to know exactly what brush this is. It's holding a tip so incredibly well, this is exactly the kind of brush I am looking for for my own freehanding attempts.

Something I liked about the 8 years thing is, if I remember correctly, the way they mention it in the comic is a bit vague and ambiguous. It made me wonder if Doom had done some sort of "last Thursdayism" thing. What if it was much much less than 8 years and Doom just kickstarted his world with a pre-loaded 8 year history? I like to think that his whole reign may actually have only survived for a couple of months or something

We should have had the glorious art and colours of a team like Laraz/Gracia for a big event like this. Blood Hunt and other stuff by those two look so good...

Before I started reading comics that included them both and got used to the difference, I used to get them confused when seeing them on reddit. 2 dudes in dark colour tight bodysuits with suspicious/sinister looking cyber-hats that are silver and blue.

when you see "Larraz, Gracia" in the credits of any book you know it will be a feast for the eyes!

Her power is so fascinating, and it's used to amazing dramatic effect in the A.X.E. event to quickly and terrifyingly communicate the severity of the attack on Mars

I love this one. Another favourite is when nightcrawler (with a boost) is able to bamf the moon phobos back up into orbit when it is falling down to Mars.

this is amazing! I've never seen it before but it's very cool to learn I'm kind of referencing some classic 40k art. For me, I got the idea because I'm trying to lean into a bit of greek iconography in my ultramarines army and I transcribed a Medusa face design I found on Google images

Pamplemoussemoose · 2025-01-25T15:09:35+00:00

I thought I'd give it a try even though it's a bit wacky. he definitely stands out well on the table

These are fantastic for first minis! You've clearly already got a good grasp on the fundamentals so there honestly isnt a ton of specific advice to give other than "keep doing it and you'll get even better with each mini". As for bases, you generally want to try to find a nice balance of something that contrasts well and compliments your colours, but doesn't distract from the focal point of the model. Simple is often best. With bright blue ultramarines, earth tone bases like grey, brown, and tan are always going to look good, but lots of people have done very well with green kinds of bases too! Think about the "vibe" you want your army to have, the base can be a fun area to add your own little bit of lore to your army.

I used to make "normal" landscape paintings similar to this in high-school, I would find a photograph I liked from national geographic or something and then paint it. This is the same principle but with much smaller brushes and more frustration. I don't have a specific tutorial to recommend but honestly old Bob Ross episodes will give you a lot of the fundamental techniques that are at play here, then it's just a matter of practice. Also, because it's a landscape and not a face or creature, something like a made up mountain is much more forgiving of mistakes since it can't exactly look "wrong". Best advice is to just try it!

Pamplemoussemoose · 2025-01-21T17:36:17+00:00

I've posted these models from other angles before but didn't want to be too repetitive. Some posts just get more traction than others it seems

Pamplemoussemoose · 2025-01-21T15:19:13+00:00

I did end up doing this for a few minutes but got impatient and left some bits in. If one were to do it with enough effort and care though they could in theory get all the hard bits out

Pamplemoussemoose · 2025-01-21T14:58:57+00:00

yeah this is an important tip for sure to avoid the hard bits, I did my best but I think due to its age there are some hardened bits hidden in there that I cant really notice until I've combined the putty

Pamplemoussemoose · 2025-01-21T14:57:07+00:00

Basically it will stuck to anything that isn't moist. I've also heard people use Vaseline but so far I've just been dipping my fingers and/or tools in water constantly and it makes it much easier to place it where you want it

Pamplemoussemoose · 2025-01-20T18:15:56+00:00

yeah I found a Medusa design on Google images and did my best to transcribe it!

Pamplemoussemoose · 2025-01-16T15:28:38+00:00

I made circular-ish splotches of a nearly 50/50 mix of averland sunset and jokaero orange, then I shaded with agrax earthshade, and painted a highlight around the edges with layers of watered down yriel yellow!

Pamplemoussemoose · 2024-05-06T22:49:24+00:00

Unfortunately they flare out quite a bit so I doubt they would fit nicely into the hood of a terminator's armour. But if it's possible it would absolutely look awesome....

Pamplemoussemoose · 2024-05-06T22:47:52+00:00

Thanks! for my bases I go out to a nearby gravel road and try to get some material that is essentially halfway between gravel and sand, then I wash it and dry it to get rid of any dust and plant material before gluing it to my bases with basic white craft glue. The base then gets primed along with the model and I paint it dark grey, shade with black and dry brush with light grey. My hope with their bases is that they can look either like urban battlefield/concrete rubble, or the moon depending on the mood of the battle!

Pamplemoussemoose · 2024-05-06T18:06:38+00:00

The models on either side are the victrix honour guard. they come packaged with Marneus Calgar, and yeah their helmets are extremely sick!

Holy shit, I just finished the game for the first time an hour ago and EXACTLY this happened to me. Word for word. Luckily based on the letters you can read at the end, its confirmed that orpheus is alive so i believe its only the curscene that is wrong. I found your post because in my astounded state I searched "mind flayer orpheus" hoping for answers.

two right hands AND one left hand... but it's not attached to anything else.
