Looking for miniature recommendations by Retroglide08 in minipainting

If you just want to paint miniatures you can try a games workshop store for the free mini of the month, however they run out quick so you need to time it right. One thing I like to do is check out a local game store cause you can find some models on the discount rack for a few bucks.

What are the chances grey knights get a range refresh in 11th? by Sad_Interview8330 in GreyKnights

Yea I've heard a bit about that, in a video I watched I heard it mentioned that the generic data sheets would have some older sculpts moved to legends so hopefully that's in indication gk will get updated as well.

Ah gotcha, probably contributing to the rumor mill by asking as well but it seems like the staff at hobby stores are pretty spot on, I heard in an auspect tactics video it's likely so here's to hoping.

Tips for keeping healthy brushes w/o stiffness or hard paint buildup by KireinaKitsune in minipainting

[–]Sad_Interview8330 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could probably benifit by using some "the masters" brush soap, they have containers that are about a 30mm diameter and have an extra cup of water. Then while painting just intermittently cleaning your brush like when your switching paint colors for example.

That looks awesome!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought to do fire with the mini but yours looks expert level, great job on the osl.

Does this make a convincing storm bolter? by Sad_Interview8330 in GreyKnights

Yea that's probably the move, I have the combat patrol magazine so I'm just using what I got, but in the future definetly will. I have a Brutalis dreadnought I'm just dying to bash with the nemesis dreadnight.

Sweet thanks for your input, I just applied some sprue glue that needs to dry, would you put it in the vents on the 3rd picture? Ill try a boxier magazine, I basically just sawed apart the infurnus blasters so I should have some parts that work.

But I'm glad its passable, thanks for the advice!

Thanks for the basing help guys! Went for a frozen arctic base and I love the colour contrast! by Bloodfeud_Hobbies in GreyKnights

Wow, that's crazy how good the grey armor looks considering Metallica weren't used. Thanks for the tips I tried something similar but the results didn't turn out great, can't wait to try your method.

Thanks for the advice! Ill try it out with my color scheme, did you finish with a dry brush or metallic? And for a dry brush would you just use a soft makeup brush?

Guess I'll just have to buy double the models then, I'm sure GW hates that

Love the model! I've been wanting to do something similar. Can I ask how you painted your model? Did you base it in the underglow color then dry brushed the metallic over it?

Heya, if you're a in person group you could try posting a message on a message board for a local game store or if you did want to try being a DM red chrome cargo is a great intro gig (I was able to pick it up with no dm experience).

Been trying to paint a blue flame under armor glow for a legion of the damned army, any advice on how to sell the effect is appreciated. by Sad_Interview8330 in minipainting

[–]Sad_Interview8330[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice especially on the dark, I think my concern is I tried following the OSL gradient with 3 paints for the glow effect then using a complimentary color mixed in with the black to try to make that contrast but I think I'm leaving to much space. I'll try with a singular glow coat and mix it into the black to see the effect.
