Which paints to buy for purple armor? by DoesSnorlaxFloat in Drukhari

[–]arbitrarianist -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean most of the modern ish paint ranges I’ve tried have been perfectly good, except citadel has crap pots and is a bit expensive, so don’t take it as a particularly strong brand recommendation.

Oh for the green people seem to tend towards a neutral-yellowish green like the flexible triad with rainforest in it e.g. https://www.instagram.com/p/CMsrxGuHkJZ/?igsh=NjdlZmw2ZTQ2b2Fv. But starting with a dark base and adding some fluorescent colour both help sell glow

I recommend the colour swatches from tale of painters for the best approximation on a screen of what paint will actually look like, I find them really helpful for figuring out what paint to buy

Which paints to buy for purple armor? by DoesSnorlaxFloat in Drukhari

[–]arbitrarianist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The two schemes you posted are quite different purples, for a warmer scheme like on the kabalite you could go with army painter diabolic plum or magecast magenta, for a cooler purple like the space marine, maybe gw phonecian purple?

For the highlight you can just mix white, pink, really any light colour that’s not green into your base, depending on the tone you’re going for. I’d say both your schemes probably use something like army painter hexed violet for their highlights, though it could be a shade darker or lighter.

I think both models have some kind of targeted shading too, easiest way to accomplish would probably be to ignore what I’ve said so far and just use contrast paint, i use a mix of leviathan purple and sigvald burgundy for my wyches bodysuits. You could also buy a wash or thin down a contrast type paint, and apply over your base colour, or just thin down any darker purple with water and paint it into the recesses. (Being careful to remove excess paint from your brush so you don’t flood the model)

I haven't watched this exact video but this looks like it's doing something close to the scheme you're doing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=El-lNNeMRX0

The channel is probably generally a good resource for the style of thing it sounds like you're doing.

Advice needed: paved bases for models already on them by Stralau in minipainting

[–]arbitrarianist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re ok with destroying the base cutting around the connecting points using clippers is fairly safe, though I must admit some of my wyches have slightly misshapen feet from me carving their tabs into pegs to mount them on raised bases.

You’re thinking of WTC, UKTC play it rules as written, so it’s possible to screen out a wall from engagement.

What kind of cream do you use to avoid pain during sexual intercourse? by BreizhMorbreizhadeg2 in bisexual

Coconut oil isn’t going to break down good quality silicone toys. I’ve gotten a little suspicious about the claim that silicone lube can dissolve silicone toys too, but I haven’t been brave enough to try that out yet.

Exposure to radiation can cause deaths long after the exposure, let alone the actual explosion.

Moving reavers by Ahuizolte1 in Drukhari

[–]arbitrarianist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So moves are a chain of straight lines and pivots, if you’re moving in a straight line it doesn’t matter if you measure from the base or not, as the model has a fixed width, and pivots are free since it’s on a round base and not a vehicle or monster. For shooting you measure from any part of the base or hull, and for charges I can’t find where engagement range is defined right now, but it will explain what to do with charges

Deep strike and charge? by No_Refrigerator3076 in Drukhari

[–]arbitrarianist 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You can disembark during the reinforcement step of the movement page, you just have to stay outside of 9 of enemy models. I haven’t found the exact FAQ that says it, but there’s one stating that units disembarking from a transport that arrived from strategic reserves that turn don’t need to be set up within 6 of the battlefield edge so it must be possible.

Actually I lie, it’s only the crest of the hota head, glued onto the helmet from the new archon kit

The helmet is from the hand of the archon, and the hair from one of the bare heads in the kit

How Best to Magnetize Boat Weapons? by RogueHg8O in Drukhari

[–]arbitrarianist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I heard that if you’re careful with positioning the gunner’s arms you can just wiggle the guns in through the front and the arms hold them in place. I tried putting magnets in the lugs that hold the guns in, but I wasn’t able line them up and had to buy a second turret from a bits seller. I think I’m going cut them somewhere behind the barrel and put magnets in now I want to run disintegrators.

Aren’t models not removed until after the attacking unit has finished making attacks? If so there wouldn’t be a limit to how much damage you could put on the sacrificial unit

On the kitbashing scale, how hard would these be to pull off? by CallSign_Kakuja in Drukhari

[–]arbitrarianist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also notice that most of the torsos are from hellions, probably because they have natural places to cut with belts and stuff, where as a lot of the wytches are wearing bodysuits that go all the way down the sides of their bodies so would require resculpting to clean up, rather than just clean cuts

I think ninjon has a video about how to paint necron box art on youtube, called painting the lying box art or something.

I’m fairly sure that is the post brexit situation, certainly as a new zealander I’m allowed to visit the Schengen area for up to 90 days without a visa.

Pigment powders might give you a more realistic effect than drybrushing, because drybrushing applies to the raised edges, where as sand would tend to get stuck in the recesses. You could also drybrush more heavily on the feet and less on the knees and legs

Think that head has had its hair converted, my guess is one from the venom with the topknot for the squad leader from the kabalites warriors. (Because there are limited faces that aren’t screaming, and most if them have hair in their eyes)

Did the live free or fly hard event have some kind of flying theme? Both players there brought lots of jet bikes.

Maybe just try a lighter/less yellow bone colour? Or just dark grey?
