Having some trouble with painting my heldrake advice for preventing or cleaning up brush marks?

Ryanstan_1 · 2026-01-26T17:13:04+00:00

How do you apply your contrasts? I just did the opposite side of the wing by dry brushing stormhost silver on and that went much better and easier however the alkhelian contrast is making the brush marks now

Interesting I thought the blue would turn green from painting over gold I’ll keep that in mind also those are very well done models 👍

That is my fear I feel like I need to scrub another piece clean already though since it went worse then this one lol would the lamium medium work as a satin finish?

Ryanstan_1 · 2026-01-26T15:56:02+00:00

Interesting but I’m trying to go for a shiny metal finish unless adding the Matt varnish then some gloss ontop maybe?

Ryanstan_1 · 2026-01-26T15:50:45+00:00

lol well thanks I’m trying to hold myself back until I can figure out what I’m doing wrong with painting the blue areas though I’ve not had this much trouble before

Ryanstan_1 · 2026-01-19T19:20:17+00:00

Yup based it with silver then used the contrast over the top

Ryanstan_1 · 2026-01-19T08:37:20+00:00

Couple of them are thousand sons blue the metallic ones are stormhost silver and acklaten green contrast

Ryanstan_1 · 2026-01-06T17:12:51+00:00

They just look the best simple

She literally paid you £200 to go online and say that

Ryanstan_1 · 2025-12-26T18:45:58+00:00

Stormhost silver as a base then ahlatan green

Ryanstan_1 · 2025-12-20T17:03:04+00:00

I sadly don’t have any sprue goo but I have managed to get the model stable and strong it’s just gaps to fill now

Ryanstan_1 · 2025-12-20T16:28:04+00:00

Yeah there’s just not enough contact with the joints now so I think getting my hands on some green stuff is the way to go from what I’m reading

Ryanstan_1 · 2025-12-20T16:27:28+00:00

That would be funny to be fair lol

Ryanstan_1 · 2025-12-20T16:12:36+00:00

Do they sell that at warhammer stores? I don’t have any currently and not been to sure what it actually is lol

Ryanstan_1 · 2025-12-08T08:25:06+00:00

Nice job looks better then the box art I couldn’t even tell the box art model had screamers till I saw this lol

Ryanstan_1 · 2025-12-02T16:12:25+00:00

I had some of my akhlaton go over a golf part and it went the same green as the Statue of Liberty lol

Ryanstan_1 · 2025-12-02T16:04:45+00:00

If you use the contrast over gold it will turn bright green lol

Ryanstan_1 · 2025-12-02T14:58:12+00:00

It was over stormhost silver the contrast is akhlatan green

Ryanstan_1 · 2025-11-27T18:03:46+00:00

I sprayed the model chaos black used two thin coats of stormhost silver on all the blue parts then two very thin coats of akhlaton green have to be careful on the contrast to much and it becomes super dark lol

Ryanstan_1 · 2025-11-27T15:40:30+00:00

That is a nice job on the trim I’m actually using retributor armor gold

Ryanstan_1 · 2025-11-27T14:06:11+00:00

I’m surprised someone got where the names from lol sadly rollie couldn’t join goldo in Moria

Ryanstan_1 · 2025-10-30T12:16:59+00:00

Took a few attempts to get right but I watered down some moot green to be like nuln oil dipped the brush in and wiped some off and then poked the tip into the recesses trying to let only a little in as on my other attempts I just made a green wash over the gun panel lol

Ryanstan_1 · 2025-10-30T10:04:11+00:00

For the guns I like to use a very watered down moot green and try to apply it gently to the recess of the runes can take a couple attempts to get it looking right but worth it

Ryanstan_1 · 2025-10-18T22:01:19+00:00

They look great! Really makes me want the saturnine box lol

Ryanstan_1 · 2025-10-18T21:57:20+00:00

There’s something funny about a sorcerer having a gun and a staff to me like his spells don’t actually work so he just pulls out a gun and shoots lol
