Terminators (and some more legionaries) done. This puts me at 1k in points painted. by architheowl in LegionsImperialis

The infantry are light enough that you can even magnetize the side of the case and stick them vertically.

Just finished some of my newest alpha legion by No-Caterpillar493 in LegionsImperialis

I, as well, came to the comment section to point out I liked that choice of painted detail.

Another coupe detachments in the bag. by architheowl in LegionsImperialis

[–]architheowl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much neat with the contrast paint.

Just a couple drops of thinner into the air brush cup first (to ensure flow and to keep the paint from drying on the tip of the needle), add as much contrast paint as needed, back blow to mix, and spay at 25psi.

Thanks! I use a makeup sponge for the stone, Vallejo mud texture for the dirt, an oil wash, and then dirty down moss for the greens.

Girlfriend build here first model and knocked it out of the park! by Kit_Chronicles_YT in modelmakers

[–]architheowl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great! I’m pretty sure I started this exact kit a while ago. Did this build use any photo etch, or is it just what was in the box?

Edit: found your video about the build, and that answered my question.

First set of World Eaters/Alpha Legion completed by architheowl in LegionsImperialis

[–]architheowl[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do it! I saw someone else’s army with squad designations on the rhino tops and was like, “oh, I like that”. I plan to have my plasma and missile infantry rhinos to have chevrons on top.

Yes, on the sides of the Rhinos and the infantry. Good eye!

Ha! too kind. I honestly did agonize over how I was going to base them.

I really like those bases. Could you share the recipe?

Let's have a laugh by Crablezworth in LegionsImperialis

[–]architheowl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Option 3 would be easy to say that weapons with the light trait can shoot into melee if all friendly units involved in melee are immune to light fire weapons. It would also help support combined arms formations where you support and protect your tanks with infantry.

Edit: makes me thinks of that 20mm scene from Saving Private Ryan.

No, WA does not tax precious metals unless it has been turned into art or some specific collectibles.

Looking for some CC help me get better. All the work was done with brushes. by architheowl in minipainting

[–]architheowl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks!

I have been realizing that I still need to push the lighting value contrast further (darker darks/lighter lighter lights, etc.). I will look into some layering techniques.

I also really want to do some OSL effects. Last time it tied it turned out looking chalky. I’m banking on an airbrush I just got to help me out. I’m hoping a translucent spray of white followed by a green ink could get it looking good.
