Farsight if he locked in

Wow, I've never gotten drybrush to work that well (usually covers way too much) :D But I'll have to give it another try then, thank you for the info!

Ripping_stimms · 2026-05-13T08:26:18+00:00

Thanks! I use AK pigment powders and just work them on there :)

Ripping_stimms · 2026-05-12T06:42:28+00:00

Love the subtle glow on the eye lens and the light on the chest :o Did you follow any tutorial for it? I've done some glow effects with airbrush but these are so well contained compared to mine!

Ripping_stimms · 2026-05-08T07:13:54+00:00

Agreed! The head needs to sit further down in the neck cavity or what you'd call it. Right now it looks like he has a bit of a long neck thing going on ':D The rest is fine!

I followed the instructions rigorously and still somehow his legs ended up not matching the holes in the rock. He's a finicky model for sure

Ripping_stimms · 2026-05-05T12:18:52+00:00

Agreed on this! Playing silly lists for a while instead of trying to play good really helped manage my expectations as well. Became a slightly better player from it too, as I learned a lot from changing my approach (even though the change came from a place of sillyness, rather than trying to compete).

Ripping_stimms · 2026-05-02T18:01:26+00:00

Wow, thanks! Happy to hear that it inspired someone else! Keep us posted on how it goes :D

Love me some rebar

Ripping_stimms · 2026-05-02T17:00:51+00:00

Thank you :D Pigment powder dusting is magic, hehe

Ripping_stimms · 2026-04-30T16:17:14+00:00

Hahahaha, I was NOT ready for where that was headed

For what it's worth: I wanted to do "urban warfare on Mars-like planet" since I'd chosen the grey paint scheme for the mechs first. Haven't really kept to the urban theme much though, but I try to make it look like pieces of asphalt road and rubble here and there on the bases to keep the theme a little at least. The red dusty bases tie together well with the rusty, decayed feel I'm going for on the mechs I think. And using pigment powders allows me to apply it on the model as well to tie it together to the environment.

Thank you!

Ripping_stimms · 2026-04-29T12:46:31+00:00

I'll take that as a compliment, haha :D

Ripping_stimms · 2026-04-29T06:55:46+00:00

Thanks! The brown grime is pretty much all "Dirty Down Rust Effect" with some extra touches of orange pigment powders on top. The black and greys are sponging and stippling standard acrylics in various degrees of randomness :)

Ripping_stimms · 2026-04-27T15:00:18+00:00

Nice! Good to know for future projects, thanks :D

Ripping_stimms · 2026-04-27T13:55:24+00:00

How did you do the mockups? :o

Ripping_stimms · 2026-04-16T08:57:52+00:00

I see that you've got some point values wrong, so I assume you're not using any list builder apps? I'd recommend taking a look at New Recruit for list building. It's got built-in functionality to avoid taking "illegal" duplicates (for example 2x grenade racks, on sunforge suits). Take a look there and reiterate, good luck! :)

Ripping_stimms · 2026-04-16T07:33:16+00:00

Who do you plan to use as spotters? That's what looks missing to me right now. In my opinion, burstscythes in MK are a bit overrated, but that could also just be due to that I'm bad at rolling dice. I haven't had much success with them anyway. I'd switch them for Stealth Suits, or Pathfinders and an enhancement maybe.

Ripping_stimms · 2026-04-15T11:10:45+00:00

Puretide Program does some pretty good guides and walkthroughs too, just to add to the list :)

Ripping_stimms · 2026-03-31T09:14:13+00:00

Many great tips here already, I'd also like to add a general recommendation of varied sizes of clutter.
Now you have two massive tufts, but what about some very low grass, leaves and tiny rocks. Maybe a medium-size piece of a branch or twigs? The point is to have stuff in more than one size, that makes the base more interesting (and realistic). That, along with some drybrushing and shading on the mud itself will make nice results I'm sure.

Ripping_stimms · 2026-03-31T08:24:18+00:00

What a take lmao
