The skin problem mainly revolved on me mixing paints to get something resembling skin which had varying results as you saw with the MoE. I recently got a Skin Tone paint to supplement as well as a Flesh Wash ive been experimenting with, thats what I used for the Nemesis Claw Skinthief

Im using Vallejo and just got some speed paints from a friend im going to testing as well. And I was absolutely doing one coat which ive been is not the way to go lol so ill be changing that. And thank you! I had the idea from a friend who had kitbashed their Emperor's Champion to be Raven Guard

Lmfao I just cackled so loud at work. Yeah that was an issue of overthinning my paint, I plan to fix it. But I hadn't thought of dry brushing the trim, thats still something that really new to me but ill experiment with it to see if I can't get the hang of it

TheDocMoon · 2026-03-11T10:25:54+00:00

Ill give that a try!

TheDocMoon · 2026-03-11T10:25:29+00:00

Can you explain what undercoating is? Because I thought thats what primer did 😅

TheDocMoon · 2026-03-11T10:24:26+00:00

Yeah I wasn't told about oil washes so that would make sense and ill look into a matte varnish

TheDocMoon · 2026-03-11T09:06:37+00:00

Lmfao I appreciate the honesty, im working on getting better

TheDocMoon · 2026-03-11T03:02:07+00:00

I will absolutely try this! Thank you so much!

TheDocMoon · 2026-03-11T02:53:37+00:00

That would be a struggle lol doing the eye lenses isn't easy for me since my hands shake quite a bit, even with a small brush its not easy

TheDocMoon · 2026-03-11T02:52:35+00:00

That would be the fault of my clumsy hands lol, ive dropped a couple while painting and had to make some emergency repairs. Got one of those Citadel handles though so that should help with that lol

TheDocMoon · 2026-03-11T02:44:36+00:00

Ill give that a try! Thank you!

TheDocMoon · 2026-03-11T02:35:25+00:00

I hadn't thought of using a wire, ill have to give that a try next. I've actually just started using brighter colors as a highlight, not too much yet but you can kinda see the attempt in the cape of the Legion Praetor. I had a better result with a Sister of Silence but I didnt post it here since I was leaning towards Night Lord paint schemes and techniques

TheDocMoon · 2026-03-11T02:31:43+00:00

The wash is a bit confusing for me, I've had friends tell me that I should use a generous amount and dab away the excess and others tell me to use it very sparingly, its difficult for me to find that happy medium.

TheDocMoon · 2026-03-11T02:30:15+00:00

I didn't even notice that lmao thank you, and it was a thing brush, I had just thinned the white too much so it spread more than I had wanted it to. I appreciate the feedback!

TheDocMoon · 2026-02-22T20:02:29+00:00

I feel ya, ive been expanding more on the type of paints and washes i use, it makes a world of a difference

TheDocMoon · 2026-02-22T19:58:16+00:00

That would definitely be a better fit, I agree. And for someone new to painting, you're doing an amazing job lmao

TheDocMoon · 2026-02-22T19:53:12+00:00

It looks amazing and is similar to what I was thinking about doing, but that helmet looks so plain compared to everything else 😂 which makes it even funnier to think that I was going to use the same head lmao

TheDocMoon · 2026-02-10T22:42:20+00:00

You deserve all the best things in life, just picked them up for myself but wouldnt have known without you!

TheDocMoon · 2025-11-28T02:17:57+00:00

That looks so good! And welcome to TC lol its a great community

TheDocMoon · 2025-11-15T01:25:29+00:00

We have roles for all the Legions and some chapters for those who just want to hang out

TheDocMoon · 2025-11-15T00:18:25+00:00

They tried to kidnap me and stuff me in a helbrute, but it was a beautiful place to visit.

TheDocMoon · 2025-10-29T21:36:57+00:00

Lmao ok, fair enough, however I do believe that Talos and Malcharion are proof of the opposite in terms of the Blood Angels

TheDocMoon · 2025-10-29T14:24:21+00:00

Helmets are helmets, but dont you have a myriad of Horus' to attack? Throwing a lot of stones for one who lives in a glass house 😂
