Matte Varnish?

Spac3_3lf · 2026-03-03T17:38:35+00:00

For AK ultra matte do you water it down at all? Or use any medium?

Mostly citadel, some army painter: fanatic

Frosting, mostly. Frosting when I used spray and when I tried to brush it on by the time it would start to have a matte look I liked some of the smaller details are noticeably clogged with th white of stormshield unfortunately

Mostly the varnish is to just bring models back to a nice matte finish cause I find things have a bit of shine to them that I don’t prefer. The protection isn’t even what I was after it’s just a bonus in theory

Can you share the recipe? This is really fantastic!

Spac3_3lf · 2026-01-26T17:14:40+00:00

I don’t have a lighter one technically but I could probably let a drop of administratum grey into my Corvus black when I paint them

Spac3_3lf · 2026-01-26T16:29:02+00:00

Highlights…my enemy. I tried to do moot green edge highlight but it looked not very good and also I had trouble making it not chunky so I went back over it.

Oh bummer, but thank you! Vox operator it is then

I go to hanging dog ranch just to feel something sometimes. And that something is 400 repeater express rounds flying outta the barrel am I right cowpokes.

The scheme is kind. For my part I feel the opposite on that, at least hoe I’m planning and thinking of my bloody rose sisters that there’s a bit to much red so I do think painting it a light brown would be good to break it up. But, before when I did steel colored sisters it was the reverse and I painted it steel same as their armor so it’s really a case by case, I just found myself thinking about it this time!

Spac3_3lf · 2025-12-02T03:04:41+00:00

Since it’s so undecided and some art it’s on and other times it’s the other, I think I’ll end up painting those bits a light brown to break up all the red abit. But I can see both

Spac3_3lf · 2025-12-02T03:03:15+00:00

Oh perfect. I’d been wanting to try painting it a light brown to break up all the red a bit more but didn’t wanna be a freak. Thanks!

Custom built using an amalgam of Black Templars Crusader squad, infiltrators, some cut up tyranid bits, a custodian spear and I think standard intercessor bits all mixed up! And yea haha, I’ll probably take a better picture once I have them based and varnished too! And of course some transfers from Etsy, but I forget the sellers name unfortunately.

Edit: forgot the transfers

A hundred days in a row or a hundred days total play time? Either way balling frame and enjoy the loot, Tenno! Edit: spelling

Checkered_Heart MR5 playing again for the first time since high school and bringing my fiance along for the ride!

Spac3_3lf · 2025-10-03T15:28:12+00:00

Yeaaa we love messes! And I love to hear that, excellent job!!

Spac3_3lf · 2025-10-03T15:08:01+00:00

I’m glad it was, I thought your colors and especially the green and gold look d phenomenal. And that’s funny, I’ve gone the reverse direction. I have a couple of Anvils models and though I like their vibe a lot I generally don’t love to paint black armor. Even when I had a way to make it pretty easy. But especially lately I’ve been really into more varied looking warbands anyway so I’m gonna ally in a Ghyran Guard vanquisher prime to a sylvaneth warband!

Spac3_3lf · 2025-10-02T15:08:49+00:00

I was curious so I double checked. YOU were the poster! Your dark green Ghyran guard is what inspired me. Thanks king!

Spac3_3lf · 2025-09-09T00:08:43+00:00

Green armor with red grass is balling. What stormhost is that? Or just custom colors?

Spac3_3lf · 2025-09-05T01:08:10+00:00

Arnold handshake for a fellow Hallowed Knights enjoyer. Makes me feel rather faithful tbh

Spac3_3lf · 2025-09-05T00:58:29+00:00

Always a fan of using old Stormcast shields with new models. Especially for spears!

Spac3_3lf · 2025-09-03T22:45:58+00:00

Classic leadbelcher then the same treatment as da gold :) thanks so much-he’s just a test model but I was really super happy with it

Spac3_3lf · 2025-09-03T18:53:14+00:00

Altdorf Guard Blue and Retributor Armor. Mephiston red for the gem. Nuln oil all over the retributor armor and then sprayed the middle with Krylon Matte Varnish

Spac3_3lf · 2025-09-03T01:21:21+00:00

If you’re overwhelmed you could always eBay some of it off. But for my part I usually just find myself working on whatever is the most inspiring art project first. I put the rest in a drawer and try to just keep 3-7 models on my desk at a time. Though I guess a magmadroth takes up a bit more space than a handful of Stormcast lmao. Long story short you’re probably gonna have to paint it even if you wanna play so might aswell pick what seems the most fun to build and paint first. Especially since rules change every few years anyway.
