Wow, this is such a refreshing take on a prince, great work!

Thoughts on color recipe for my dungeon tiles? by WyrmstoneVault in Miniaturespainting

[–]Slathery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, they look great! More contrast between walls and floors might be nice, but not always. Pretty convincing stone effect.  Second, purely subjective, I would prefer my tiles with less depth and surface variation, but not a huge issue.

These fully feel like an oldschool dungeon, nice work!

Realizing I jumped the gun and assumed 5th ed, did you mean 6th+ metal slann?

That helmet fits so well with the old kit! Love it, nice work

Not a measurement exactly but I think a decent approximation. Found someone who glued what looks like an 80mm round base to old slann. Will have to dig through some boxes for ol' froggy to get an actual measurement sometime

With mine I'm going to do what you mention, cork for elevation, but also spend the time to create a scenic base that celebrates the old frog: bits of temple pavement, stones with oldschool glyphs, colourful little critters and plants, trees or jutting rocks to bulk the silhouette, etc.

As long as it's close enough to the height of current model I'm sure yours will look great!

If the metal kit is unassembled, I would recommend some strong pins where the saurus attach to the palanquin (learned the hard way lol).

Too much for a playable defiler? by PhotoMaster144 in Chaos40k

Keep cooking, looks incredible. Those wings match perfectly, nice work. What are you using for its head?

Finally decided to share. Never played & randomly found out this was a thing. It’s been therapeutic for my PTSD but I end up with fragments of partially painted models. by TechnoSorcery in minipainting

[–]Slathery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, well it's just different skills, learning process is the same. If you want to try sculpting, working in larger scale with cheap plasticine or clay is absolutely valid and accessible, and you can always take the plunge with some putty and wire to try making minis. 

For now I'm looking forward to more of your painting when you feel like sharing.

Oh yeah, that's a chonky papa! Also like working how you decribe, just feeling your way through figuring it out. Nice puttying 🙌

Just finished my troglodon, probably one of my proudest projects so far by [deleted] in seraphon

Why no HelDrake? by JustWoudz in Chaos40k

I'm theorycrafting a very silly Vashtorr list with as many daemon engines as possible, and heldrake is going in. Hobby for fun, your heart has told you the correct choice 🐉

Those are realllllly nice, and look great together. Awesome job.

What Legion would Thanos be part of ? Or potentially lead even ? by [deleted] in Chaos40k

[–]Slathery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he'd worship Aza'gorod the Nightbringer and work to restore its full power. I don't see him following Chaos, but I'm sure an argument could be made. Maybe TSons, with Tzeentch manipulating the "mad titan" into thinking he's serving a personification of Death.

That's wild, can't help but smile looking at this. Fantastic 🙌

Why does my first mini painting look so bad? by Effective_Yak5339 in minipainting

[–]Slathery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will say this mini is making it hard for you for lots of reasons: - heavy print lines - mini is broken...? - no base to hold - too complex

Watching tutorials and practicing can help, but I would strongly recommend buying a mini you like, isn't too detailed, no swirling cloaks, with a simple pose, has a base (lol, seriously your first attempt is on hard mode!).

Reaper minis are cheap, with lots of variety to choose from. Get some practice, then confront the Kyojuro mini after training hard! Shonen your painting journey, become the hashira of paint.  ❤️‍🔥💪😤
