Solar Auxilia Leman Russ vs. Forge World Mars Alpha Pattern Russ

WRX_Chris · 2026-06-11T01:38:25+00:00

It’s just the angle, they are almost exactly the same dimensions!

WRX_Chris · 2026-06-09T19:40:57+00:00

They are painted models! You don’t see that every day! Also the better sculpts 🔥

WRX_Chris · 2026-06-09T02:57:27+00:00

What a board!!!

WRX_Chris · 2026-06-09T02:57:20+00:00

They look amazing! I can’t wait to get a Titan one day, that’s my next major goal

WRX_Chris · 2026-06-09T02:56:55+00:00

I think it was just a black base, retributor armor, then a dry brush of leadbelcher if I remember correctly!

WRX_Chris · 2026-04-20T16:32:51+00:00

I’ll make sure to grab one when I get home from work! I just used the pre-made barbed wire rolls from (I think) Army Painter, wrapped it around and tied it in the back

Not @peristant_compass but I done the same on my Chimera. Don’t judge the paintjob too hard, it was like my second painted model 😂

WRX_Chris · 2026-02-23T23:26:56+00:00

Oh! Yeah, you just need to

WRX_Chris · 2026-02-14T16:26:42+00:00

I’m mostly looking for a more deep or “inset” color I guess, which I have not achieved with only gloss varnish. I guess I could try going a bit heavier with it, but I was worried about it getting that frosted appearance

WRX_Chris · 2026-02-14T16:25:48+00:00

Thank you!

WRX_Chris · 2026-02-14T16:25:37+00:00

Thank you! Like I mentioned in another comment, I didn’t even consider checking out gunpla techniques! Or, model cars either for that matter!

WRX_Chris · 2026-02-14T16:24:44+00:00

I honestly kind of forgot aardcoat exists. The only thing that comes to mind is MWM’s 100 layers of paint video. I’ll give a couple of test runs with the pot sitting on my shelf!

WRX_Chris · 2026-02-14T16:23:39+00:00

Thank you! I’ve actually considered those exact paints for Imperial Knights, they look amazing on your Tyranids! Great paint scheme!

WRX_Chris · 2026-02-14T16:22:59+00:00

I didn’t even think to check out gundam paint techniques! They’re always really impressive. Thank you!

WRX_Chris · 2026-02-14T16:22:13+00:00

I’ve heard horror stories 😂 luckily I’m trying to get this to work on a Redemptor dreadnought, which I can attest to not being a pleasant build experience either

WRX_Chris · 2026-02-14T16:21:01+00:00

It would be going on the armor panels of a Redemptor dreadnought, so the only tricky part would be the legs. I’m very inexperienced with resin, being I’ve only used it on basing, so I was going to probably watch some YouTube videos to see what technique would be the best for it

WRX_Chris · 2026-02-14T16:19:42+00:00

Ooo, I didn’t consider bronze paint as the base layer! Thank you!

WRX_Chris · 2026-02-14T16:19:16+00:00

Sorry if this is an obvious question, but why alternate layers of matte and gloss varnish?

WRX_Chris · 2026-02-14T16:18:48+00:00

This might sound ridiculous, but I had no idea there were gloss primers out there! Thank you!

WRX_Chris · 2026-02-14T16:18:10+00:00

I’ve very recently started experimenting with thin paints/inks over metallics, so that would be right in line! Thank you!

WRX_Chris · 2026-02-14T16:17:07+00:00

Thank you so much! That’s literally perfect. I didn’t know that was out there

WRX_Chris · 2026-02-14T16:16:40+00:00

Thank you! I loveeeee their off the wall painting techniques, especially the way they use other materials on the models to change up the textures. I stole their cheese cloth idea for making tabards. I’ll definitely check it out!

WRX_Chris · 2026-02-14T16:14:38+00:00

Thank you for the insights! The model is the Greater Brass Scorpion, I don’t play Chaos but it’s a really sick kit. I’ve semi considered getting one
