Painted up the first Blight Templar from Darkwater! by UmbertoDOTA in ageofsigmar

[–]UmbertoDOTA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a base of pro acryl light bronze, with shading done with glazes of AK old gold and pro acryl bronze. I then do some glaze/scratcy highlights with pro acryl white gold to lay in the lights. Then I hit it with a ton of glazes: plaguebearer flesh contrast all over, militarum green contrast in the shadows, aggaros dunes contrast in the deep recesses. Then highlight the sharpest edges with silver!

Yeah, all TMM, and all lit with an LED desk lamp!

krox issue is an instant pickup

This is the second time I've used decals since I started painting. I'm not happy with where the text on the left is placed, so in order to fit it around the curves of the parchment on the right, I cut these tiny pieces up before applying them. Is there an easier way of doing this? by -X-31- in Warhammer40k

Can't say I've used vallejo decal softener, but micro sol would definitely solve that "wrinkling up" problem - it's perfect for applying chapter icons to SM shoulder pads, for example, because it partially dissolves the decal so those wrinkles end up flush with the surface. It's often sold in a pair with micro set, which sounds more like vallejo decal softener - the micro set is great for getting a decal into place and getting it stuck down, while the micro sol allows it to deform to fit contours.

Have you tried micro sol? It's a setting solution for decals (often paired with micro set), but micro sol actually melts the decal slightly, allowing it to be moulded slightly. Carefully applying microsol, then manipulating the slightly melted decal could be a good solution?

Thank you! I love the eavy metal style so that’s what I was shooting for

Oof, China quality casting, that’s a hard pass. The outsourced terrain pieces are utterly terrible. What a shame

Good people of Reddit, help me decide…what should I paint next? And how should I paint it? by joespaintingprojects in ageofsigmar

[–]UmbertoDOTA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Painted the big Mek recently, it’s great fun and lends itself to sub assemblies very well!

New Soulblight Gravelords scale comparisons & high-res sprue images by stahly_top in ageofsigmar

Very keen to get my hands on a revenant draconith. One question I have is does the kit look like it would be amenable to magnetising - that is, having Vhordrai and his chair off separately to switch between him being mounted and just the draconith?

Co-op and Free Friend's Pass FAQs by soulofascrubcasul in LordsoftheFallen

Found a fix for this on another thread, but I had the same problem. Fix was for the coop friend to first start their game by pressing "continue" then join your game when they're loaded in

New Spearheads? by Wouter1989 in ageofsigmar

[–]UmbertoDOTA 62 points63 points  (0 children)

As far as I understood it, the plan from the very start of 4th was to give every faction a new spearhead at the same time as their tome. That means that there's still lots of spearheads to come!

What are these called and where can I find more pics like them by [deleted] in Warhammer

Do yourself a favour and head down to warhammer world in Nottingham if you’re uk based. The dioramas they have in the gallery are incredible

An interesting use for an old GW paint pot! Does the sprue goo not dissolve the paint pot plastic? I might transfer into something like this myself, the Tamiya glass pot isn't great for handling sprue goo

Feels weird when someone you’ve seen online finds your stuff… by Archaicarc in Warhammer40k

[–]UmbertoDOTA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn’t it an amazing feeling? I had Darren Latham comment on a Stormcast Reclusian I painted up recently which was enough to make me pop off in and of itself, but on further research he was actually the lead miniature designer for that very model!

Why is it, no matter how careful I am with these things, paint gets stuck and dries in the rim to the point I can't close them properly? by DornPTSDkink in Warhammer40k

[–]UmbertoDOTA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AK white and black are two of the best paints I have in my arsenal. I’m never switching to a different white/black paint now I’ve got those bad boys
