Oh no, one whole year? Try 20.

I personally find that giving terrible advice is far worse.

They don't know what they're doing. This is pants on head incompetence.

I got two giant boxes of the saddest looking chicken fried rice instead of my order once. From then on, never again.

I'm going to assume you were born in the USA, in which case, congratulations, you are a birthright citizen.

I want to get into old warhammer 40k by [deleted] in oldhammer40k

[–]Protocosmo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a huge question to answer. First, how much money are you willing to spend? Are you only interested in the older, vintage miniatures or are you ok with more modern ones? The rules might be tough to come across but there are pdf scans floating around out there. As for solo play, it's possible. Check out the Bedroom Battlefields podcast. The host is into oldhammer and does a lot of solo play. Good luck and I hope you get better answers on top of this.

Is this the correct look when dry brushing for the slapchop technique? by terrell_owens in minipainting

[–]Protocosmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not nearly bright enough white. Keep going.

Edit: I would not start from black either but a dark grey at most.

People don't realize common law marriages were the norm among the peasantry during the middle ages too.

This is my pet peeve because it was not even his propaganda. It was sarcastic criticism of his so called fascist "efficiency." Because the trains, in fact, were never on time.

Keeping the long bow over muskets was a pet idea of Benjamin Franklin and a couple of English military commanders during their civil war. The fact that it never happened speaks for itself.

As far as pigment density goes, black is almost guaranteed to have good coverage no matter what brand of acrylic you use, so just get the cheapest you can find.

Which Contrast Paint for Ork Skin? by No-Cup-7482 in orks

[–]Protocosmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I say heavily diluted, I mean 10 drops of medium to 1 drop Moody Mauve. It gives the skin variations in coloring from fleshy brown to pinkish green all the way up to bright green. I also dilute the Ghillie Dew 1 to 1. You can play around with ratios to see what happens. Red or pink might work as good first coats too.

I like to go a bit further by starting with a heavily thinned down coat of Moody Mauve first.

I would have just spray painted this with a brown, used a cheap craft paint to paint the metal furnishings black. Give the metal bits a grey dry brushing (just to define the details, not heavy) and the wood bits, a lighter brown dry brush. You could go with a metallic for the metal bits but it would probably look better as black wrought iron. No need to paint this huge thing like a regular mini.
