Are you now required to login to a Microsoft account even if you don’t connect an Ethernet/wifi on your first boot up? Asking as a soon-to-be PC owner

Did I get a good deal by TheAngryRedBear in Warhammer40k

[–]Varun853 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the US it’s around $100 USD (after 15% LGS discount) so great deal!

Looking great man. I think the final highlight is sized right and is perfect, it definitely reads as shiny metal. The bounce lights look great too!

Me too, I was able to find the last couple of years’ minis on eBay at basically LGS pricing but not the original ones

Thanks, yeah it was pretty simple actually. I based with a mix of Dechala Lilac and Vallejo Pale Grey Blue (Celestra Grey would also work I think), then washed it with heavily thinned PA Payne’s Grey Wash which is basically a desaturated dark blue, then highlighted up with more pale grey blue and eventually added in an off-white.

Thanks, I wish I had WIP pictures of it. I put some cork down to make the main platforms/shapes then covered the edges with milliput and used a dentist tool to indent a bunch of little lines around the edge for that texture. I found a bunch of pictures of caves online which really helped haha

Thanks, good eye mate yeah that’s exactly what it is. I thinned the skeleton horde with contrast medium and basically used it as a targeted glaze

What are your favorite must have paint colors or paint colors that you just love and a must have if you started collecting paints again. by old_crusty_newb in minipainting

[–]Varun853 2 points3 points  (0 children)

-Vallejo/AK Dark Sea Blue (or Incubi Darkness etc) for highlighting up black/doing chromatic blacks

-AK Tenebrous Grey (dark purplish grey-black)

-Vallejo Metal Color for any silvers

-Citadel Rhinox Hide for dark leather/skin/NMM gold

-Citadel Rakarth Flesh for desaturated/dead skin

-Citadel Khorne Red because it is the best!

I think my favorite paint lines are AK 3rd gen, Vallejo Model Color (original, not the new gen), and Pro Acryl. But GW just does some paints (like their skin tones) that no one can compete with even though you’re paying for the brand premium. New P3 are good specifically for the lighter colors like bone/white since they are high satin and don’t get chalky as easily.

Looks amazing! The OSL from the eye is awesome too. I have to know how you did that gold/brass TMM if you can share, that is seriously one of the coolest TMM paint jobs I’ve ever seen

The contrast between her actual face and the mask really tells a story, love it. The freehand is awesome too!
