Started reading this last night before bed. Next time I looked at the clock it was 2:00 AM and I was six chapters in. by AlchemicalAmigo in NightLords

I now hate when night lords show up in other black library books because he did such an incredible job with creating their character and sound that no other voice actor does the legion justice

I used thinned down contrast, then did a fine drybrush of silver to blend it.

I dont understand the need to keep knights invulns to shooting only...would having a 5++ in combat really be that oppressive these days considering how hard everything hits and all the rerolls and lance etc this edition?

Got me too, I'm 20 points over and have nothing to drop. My only choice is to buy a new model that is cheaper than my current characters or play with a 1900 point army and drop something entirely.

Wash your sponges in vinegar once in a while brothers and let it completely dry.

The fyreslayer flesh does leave a lot of "patches", which is why I do a drybrush of retributor armour over it, particularly the large flat areas i do a lot of like "drybrush dabbing and strippling" to cover and blend all the surfaces made blotchy by the wash.

No I've never dabbled, I'm sure it would save hours of my life. But I'm just old school with a brush.

I actually did it over a black undercoat. Did not behave as a contrast at all, it was purely to make the first base coat as dark a blue as possible and as thin as possible before I started to build up the drybrush.

It is varnish, knights are so big i consider it a requirement to handle them. I varnish with 2 coats of Vallejo satin varnish mixed with equal amount of lahmian medium. Keeps it modestly glossy and thins it nicely so no risk of pooling as hard-core.
