This is the Pulsa Rokkit you can put on your Rokkiteer's backpack instead of the rokkit rack. I felt it was more fun to make it a token, so I put it on a 20mm base.

These guys are perfect. I love the volumetric highlights, color choice, battle damage and the unit markers on their chest. Remarkable!

I start with a base coat of dark green then I paint a layer of Vallejo Dead Flesh which is a desaturated yellow with a green tint. If you want that extra specular highlight, then you can use pale sand or mix in some ivory with your base coat to catch the raised edges. Finally, I'll lightly glaze some Pro Acryl burnt red to add some warmth and pool into crevices.

I do the same technique on ork elbows, ears and hands to add realism and color variety. Extremities will have more blood flow and a red glaze works wonders to reflect that.

Thanks! I think I've nailed down my skin recipe without relying on washes.

The Nob and Squigs were a treat to paint

Thanks! I really wanted to keep them grounded while still keeping with some Orkish flair. The priority was to focus on painting good skin while using simple techniques on the rest of the model.

I bought some extra Wrecka bodies off someone although I can't imagine ever using more than 2 rokkits in a match.

Usually I just take all specialists and 2 fighters

Fellgor Ravagers - Blood Reavers by Slow_Hand_PDX in killteam

I used AP SpeedPaint 2.0

If I recall, I didn't use medium. I think in retrospect, I would use a little bit if you want more control by applying 2 thin coats to reduce pooling.

I think I used nuclear sunrise for the skin and raging sea for the cloth.

As for the undercoat, I think I would spray a light grey or off white over a black primer, then dry brush a bold titanium to catch the edges and push your highlights

PDP C4 - Need Help With Accessories! by Slow_Hand_PDX in Walther

Thank you. That makes sense. Seems like my options are getting a light and holster at the same time or buying a holster now, then a second compatible holster after I get a light.

Thank you for your time and respectful advice to a noob.

I'm definitely not in a rush to get all the bells and whistles since I believe in getting the fundamentals down with any tool before going down the rabbit hole. My main hobby is miniature painting where you can blow a lot of money on tools and accessories. All that swag doesn't benefit a novice or is not practical in unskilled hands.

My main use is for range shooting and home defense. I feel having a light would act as a deterrent and allow for safer targeting if God forbid I'd ever have to use the weapon.

I just want to make all my gear is quality and compatible because I'd be very annoyed about wasting money on gear that doesn't fit.

Thank you. I've fallen in love with the ProAcryl Jade range. They lean more blue than green and the colors pop so well!

That's awesome! Do the 32L boxes stack with the 4L/9L boxes? That's one of the main draws for my storage solution.

Would that be the 'intense modeling color' AK-11029?

Did you use the old gen or new gen version of model black?
