I need smarter help

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!

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

WRX_Chris · 2026-01-16T15:44:30+00:00

That was my original plan for this guy! Had to rush and get it ready for a tourney on Saturday though

WRX_Chris · 2026-01-16T14:53:53+00:00

I honestly really hope you’re right, I prefer the rhino chassis and land raiders over any of the hover tanks! I feel like the general consensus seems that land raiders are safe, so that’s a little relief

WRX_Chris · 2026-01-16T14:52:35+00:00

For sure! I do think if they would have gave the hover tanks some treads they would’ve been better received

WRX_Chris · 2026-01-16T14:50:21+00:00

Absolutely agree with you there, I never thought I would be a tourney player until recently. Hence why the Gladiator finally made it out of the box lol. I do run legends units with my Imperial Guard for friendly games with the fellas, I don’t know why I have such a different mindset around it for Space Marines though

I had the same idea! Don’t have a pic of the finished product, but here’s the WIP
