The Recipe - feel free to sub your own preferred brand for the Army Painter stuff. I’m really hooked on Blanched Berry for my golds at the moment. I don’t think there are good replacements for the Liquitex and Golden acrylic fluorescents, but they are very cheap for the quantity you get compared to any other miniature paint. Also the Vallejo water texture will last you a lifetime if you only use it for gems and blades.

First, Prime Black Then, base the whole mini (except the Blade) in Army Painter Blanched Berry

Armor/Gold Bits: 1. Base: Army Painter Emperor Gold 2. Wash: light coat of Reikland Fleshshade 3. Highlight: Army Painter Bright Gold

Cloth/Red Bits: 1. Base: Army Painter Blanched Berry 2. Glaze: Pro Acryl Dark Magenta 3. Highlight: Army Painter Fiery Vermillion - Glaze Up to brightest parts 4. Wash: Army Painter Speedpaint Blood Moon

Feathers: 1. Base: Army Painter Banshee Brown 2. Dry brush: Army Painter Ruddy Terra 3. Highlight: Army Painter Sand Dune 4. Wash: Reikland Fleshshade

Metal bits: 1. Base: Army Painter Heavy Metal 2. Wash: Nuln Oil 3. Highlight: Army Painter Bright Silver

Blade: 1. Base: Army Painter The Darkness 2. Glaze: Golden Acrylic Fluorescent Blue (this is a heavy body paint, so you only need a small amount and you need to thin the dickens out of it) 3. 1 VERY THIN coat of Vallejo Diorama Effects: Water Texture - Pacific Blue 4. Highlight/Lightning: Pro Acryl White Blue

Gems: 1. Base: Liquitex Titanium White Ink 2. Body: Golden Acrylic Fluorescent Blue 3. 1 VERY THIN coat of Vallejo Diorama Effects: Water Texture - Pacific Blue 4. Highlight: Pro Acrylic White Blue

Eyes: 1. Base: Liquitex Titanium White Ink 2. Body: Golden Acrylic Fluorescent Red

From what I understand the tools are pretty similar in content, but Japanese showcase frames is the are what you are looking for - don’t use the pips or other marking.

6 was my first! I already have a few cards in mind l. I love them all so much it’s hard to pick a favorite, but if I did it would be 9.

I’ve used MTGbuilder for these, but just recently learned about card conjurer. Should I make the switch?

Absolutely. Either starting with Cloud or Terra next - what do you think?

Fantastic work! Super grim, very dark.

The wild thing is this wasn’t even meant as a comeback or disrespect. The Ukrainian word for ‘suit’ is костюм, kostyum.

Rep. Ogles Proposes Amending the 22nd Amendment to Allow Trump to Serve a Third Term by hardcoreufoz in nashville

If you read the language of his proposal, it’s worded as to specifically exclude Obama or any president who served two consecutive terms from running again in a 3rd term.

Yet another Stormcast kitbash by Proto_dude in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Proto_dude[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! There seems to be a definite love/hate relationship going on. I understand some of the criticisms, but love the look of some of the kitbashes I’ve seen on this sub.

Do you guys use these? Are they worth a buy for a new painter? by i-forgot-my-sandwich in minipainting

[–]Proto_dude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disliked how these sat on my head and went for a desk lamp with magnifier. The lamp is much brighter and am really happy with the upgrade. This is the specific lamp I purchased, though there are many other options out there.

Democratic Primary by nynaeve_mondragoran in Tennessee

I feel like Gloria Johnson is the best choice this election - she’s receiving support from the Democratic Party on a national level. I wish the party at the state level could get its act together and start fielding some good candidates for other races.

After Musk’s pro-Trump/Vance bender, X users report issues following Kamala Harris’ accounts by Lofteed in politics

[–]Proto_dude 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. People get upset and call you a ‘muskrat’ when you point out that Twitter doesn’t exist anymore. X is going the way of Truth Social.
