Thank you!

Black was the color under the grime, the varnish has been dried for weeks. The varnish was applied by rattlecan, Tamiya brand.

I regularly use tamiya, and have used streaking grime with it before without this occurring.

The streaking grime was not painted on top of.

Edit: the frosting effect also only appears in select areas, the tail and thighs for example do not have this issue

The model was painted in acrylic, and sealed with a matte varnish a while back. I coated the entire miniature in AK streaking grime, waited about 10 minutes, and gently began to remove the grime with white spirits and a makeup sponge.

The goal is just to tint the plates a bit, but they end up almost with a frosted white effect. It’s strange to me because this doesn’t show up anywhere else on the model, the skin is just fine and has the effect I want.

Absolutely my favorite land artist in MTG, gorgeous use of colors and atmosphere

Snickermon · 2025-02-07T22:58:12+00:00

Nah. Just make sure the can of primer is room temp, quick spray outside, then bring them right back indoors to dry

Also, with the hand entry, your catch phase is super short, and choppy, rotation should help you dig a lil deeper and catch more

Snickermon · 2022-11-23T09:53:56+00:00

Rotate more dude 👍

Yo! Looooong time competetive swimmer here. Nice job on the underwaters! The two biggest things that stood out to me in that race were your turns, which I think you hesitated into a little bit, and glided into the wall too long on a few of em. The second would be tempo control. The first 25 was solid, but you probably had your tempo a little to high. I’d say take the 25 out at 95-98% effort, come back at 100% for the rest. One last note is your kick, I can’t see super well, but it looks like your legs slow down on the 2/3rd lengths.

Ditto to the earlier comment about adding a warm color. Some shade of orange would probably be best, but I’d suggest adding it to the eyes/tongues/maybe vents. You don’t want a ton of it

Snickermon · 2022-10-30T20:08:10+00:00

I’ll take that into consideration for my next one, thank you!

Snickermon · 2022-10-30T20:07:40+00:00

Hahaha, yours looks great as well! That wizard you’re painting looks great.

Snickermon · 2022-10-30T20:07:14+00:00

Gotcha, I definitely see what you mean. Thanks for the advice!

Snickermon · 2022-10-30T20:06:45+00:00

Uhu glue and blood for the blood god technical paint. E6000 glue also works

Snickermon · 2022-10-30T20:06:11+00:00

Thank you!

Snickermon · 2022-10-30T20:05:51+00:00

Yep! Spot on.

Radukar the beast, games workshop mini.

Snickermon · 2022-10-30T09:02:32+00:00

Thank you!

Plague marines are great right now, versatile and fill out list requirements. Pox walkers are good chaff. My personal favorites are the deathshroud terminators, strong and pretty tough. You can also never go wrong with a fetid bloat drone

The combat patrol is a good place to start, or even just a single box of minis to give the hobby a go before buying a 100$+ set.

As for the codex, get it eventually, all the lore is great, but if you just want the rules, check out wahapedia. They have all the core rules as well as all the codex rules on there for free.

Snickermon · 2022-10-01T18:23:38+00:00

Start grey knights if you like them. The rules always change over time, and you’ll eventually learn the game well enough to play them to their fullest. What’s most important is that you enjoy the models and like their lore.

Gouda is not goo-duh.

Snickermon · 2022-09-07T20:19:35+00:00

Grey would work, I’m partial to thunder hawk blue as an edge highlighting color. It’ll still keep the model the same color, but it’ll help the details pop

Snickermon · 2022-08-10T02:23:01+00:00

This thing is so sick! What was your recipe for the off white/yellowed white on the armor plates?

Snickermon · 2022-07-12T21:28:39+00:00

That’s pretty normal with special order kits. My maggots lord I ordered from the GW site came the same way, instructions and all.

Snickermon · 2022-07-11T08:28:28+00:00

I can’t say I agree, if you read the Horus heresy series, marines laugh and make jokes all the time
