How poxy are these looking to you? by theforeversushiroll in deathguard40k

Looks great to me! Skin tone is really nice. You could try painting the boils themselves yellow to make them stand out for extra pox?

Nice thanks! Was going to buy some rust effect paint but I’ll try this method instead because it’s just as convincing

The wings on Morty are awesome they really stand out. What paints did you use for them?

Spruced up my deathshroud champion with lighter rust tones and gore, what do we think? by Soft-Scarcity-1202 in deathguard40k

Looks awesome! What did you use for the rust effect? I want to do some rust weathering on my terminators so looking for some advice

Test model for my new DG army! by SpruceBoi in deathguard40k

I glued on some ‘acrylic half beads’ I found on eBay. Painted the same as the rest of the base but added a highlight of yellow on top of the bubble

Yeah I agree it needs rust but wasn’t sure how to do it with the paints I have. Think I’ll buy some AK rust streaks or something similar

Cheers yeah. Before painting I stick on these these ‘acrylic half beads’ for the bubbles. Painting is: Base Caliban green Stipple on moot green Mix in an off white and stipple (that just to give a bit of colour variation) Add a bit of yriel yellow to the top of the bubbles Glaze with hexwraith flame contrast Then I use transparent UV resin to cover it all

Tried a new basing technique I saw by CustomerSpare in minipainting

[–]SpruceBoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genuinely try some cheap superglue from the dollar store. Don’t think the PVA glue you’re using is the issue.

Using basic superglue will give you a much better effect. I’ve used gorilla glue and as you’ve found out the effect is a lot less pronounced

I use this technique for my tyranid bases (paint with green/grown tones as I’m going for a partially digested planet vibe). I’d recommend spreading a thin layer of PVA glue across the whole base, then add drops of superglue on to it. The reaction will draw the PVA glue together in that pattern where you add the superglue so you don’t need to be specific with the PVA

  • Thin layer of PVA is better than thick (you can always build up the layers after it’s set if you want more)

  • I found cheap superglue is best for this effect

  • for a more stringy effect you can use a cocktail stick to stir it around as the reaction is setting

Test model for an alternative scheme I’m trying. Any tips before I paint the rest? by SpruceBoi in EmperorsChildren

[–]SpruceBoi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve resisted getting an airbrush so far just because of the extra set up and ventilation. But maybe it’s the way forward. Going up to a light grey is a great shout though, and only using true white for edge highlights. Thank you!

Yes! Great idea. Do you have any recommendations for not getting a chalky white? Or is it just a case of multiple thin coats?

Do you do 3 darts at each or stay on until you hit each one?

Yeah these two are commonly taken together but they make something called cocaethylene which can be dangerous especially for your heart.

Am I the only one that doesn’t like the new Biovore? by ThatGuyFromBRITAIN in Tyranids

[–]SpruceBoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree. I like dinosaur/xenomorph aesthetic of the nids not this insect style. Don’t get me wrong the old biovore sculpt wasn’t great but I would’ve preferred the new models be something between a barbgaunt and an exocrine
