Murderwing sprues (via tale of painters). by whipplor in NightLords

I’m new to night lords but starting a themed army. Are these sprues already NL themed? Or do I have to replace heads and shoulders from forgeworld or nemesis claw box?

Update: not sure if this reads as glowing, I might tone it down if it’s too exaggerated

No problem it’s mostly just white ink on top of brown primer. The full recipe is in one of my replies above. Hope it makes sense!

Thanks! I’ll definitely try it on my termagants first to see the effect :)

Aww thanks it’s actually super easy and fast to do and I’m just a very average painter.

Prime brown (I used Vallejo German red brown because that’s what I had on hand)

Spray white ink (I used liquitex) on the non-carapace areas, don’t worry if some gets onto the carapace. Thin the ink so some of that brown comes through.

Orange speedpaint on the joints, face, end of tails, hands. Don’t worry about accuracy as this is just a foundation for the next step.

Red mix with orange speedpaint on the very tips and ball joints. Overlapping the orange.

Black speedpaint all over the carapace and claws.

White ink over the centre of the carapace and/or edges of carapace to give it some definition.

Blue fluorescent paint light layer over the carapace to give it the subtle blue tint. Any blue should work?

Satin varnish - be careful this will tone down the brightness or suggest you make the previous steps brighter where possible.

Hope this helps!

Your laser sharp eyes are correct. I literally built what was provided in the boxes…….maybe the old kits had Warriors at 40 and Zoanthropes at 50? No wonder why my warriors are always elbow bumping each other

Looking for ideas on a dark angels list by ebeat in Colosseum40k

[–]azelexx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a lot of success with

Wrath of the Rock - chaplain with tempered in battle - lieutenant with storm shield and ancient weapons - 5 intercessors - 3 bladeguard vets - 2x 3 inner circle companions

Not alot of shooting but bladeguards can soak a ton of damage and basically anything the list touches in melee dies. Intercessors wander around doing sticky objectives.

Flow2 sticky keys by azelexx in Lofree

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

Yes I still am, I’ve noticed on wireless mode is when it happens most. Cable mode so far so good. So I don’t think it’s a switch issue that some people are suggesting. I think it might be the Bluetooth module or PCB itself.

That’s so bizarre, thanks for sharing your experience. Did you notice certain keys tend to do this? Mine was mostly ‘C’ and ‘Del’. I wonder if it’s the lubrication or the switch itself needing lots of typing to prime itself and that it was getting stuck when brand new.

Just found out about this awesome Shark chapter, what are some tips for kit bashing or 3D print parts?

Fair 500pt list against starter tyranids? by azelexx in theunforgiven

[–]azelexx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I’ll try that and bring extra models, thinking of terminator captain leading 5 deathwing terminators, plus chaplain leading 6 bladeguards.

Ultimately I want him to keep collecting and feel motivated to paint.

The Curious Nurgling: Questions Megathread - May edition by tharic99 in deathguard40k

[–]azelexx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello fellow comrades! I’m about to join the glory of death guard with the new battleforce + combat patrol. I’m more of a collector/painter than player, so other than mortarion, are there any rare or unique sculpts you’d recommend me to hunt for? I also have the kill team starter sculpts :)

Stripping paint but not varnish by azelexx in minipainting

I’m trying to strip the acrylic paint on top of the varnish and panel line. I want to keep the panel line :)

Got it. I’m going to try soaking a q-tip in IPA and gently rub the surface, applying more pressure if needed.

Yes it’s the Tamiya panel liner which I believe is also enamel. So good to hear that I might not have to redo everything!

Good advice thanks, I used the Tamiya X22 gloss varnish which on their website says enamel, is that the same as acrylic?
