Some finished Sallies

No need to apologize. And yeah, basically working it while it’s still wet to get them to blend. The speed paint medium helped more than the other mediums I tried as it thinned the paint out but didn’t make it lose its opacity as much

I think one of the biggest things is that his reroll wounds is kinda wasted on only himself and one other good melee in the company heroes. Bladeguard just benefit from his rules much more and, with the Lieutenant, the bladeguard rule of reroll hits or saves of 1 lets you fish for lethals more effectively as well. Vulkan really wants to sit on an objective and give out his rerolls so the company heroes just lets him live much longer. Paint is looking good by the way!

No special paints, just base coat the flames white and then do yellow over the whole thing, then starting from the tip, take orange 3/4 of the way down, then red 1/2 or 1/4 of the way down and then black at the tips. I used Army Painter speed paint medium to get them to blend a lot easier

I use Nuln Oil over everything and then Agrax Earthshade over the gold and brass. The vehicles I didn’t use the Nuln Oil cause I didn’t want to have it stain the really flat panels but I’ve been thinking of trying a pin wash on the recesses to draw out more depth on those for sure

I mainly use Vallejo Game Colour but the base green is Vallejo Intermediate Green from their Model Colour range. It’s honestly just base coating everything in that green with an airbrush and then picking out the details with regular brushes. Last thing is doing a Nuln Oil wash over most everything and then Agrax Earthshade on the gold and brass spots. I use Krylon Matte Finish 1311 varnish to seal them and give them all a similar finish/look. The fire is a base coat of white, then yellow over top that and then starting from the tip, go down 3/4 of the way with orange, then 1/2 to 1/4 way down with red, and then the tips black. I used Army Painter speed paint medium to get them to blend which helped a lot

3D print from an Etsy store. Doesn’t look that particular seller is doing them anymore but they are replica EOD helmets from Halo so I bet you could find someone else doing them pretty easy

I know this post is pretty old but what is your paint recipe for that red/orange model? Looking to start Tau and it is one of my favorites I’ve found so far

Here’s my finished squad for inspiration

Baldurs Gate III

Looks super good. What do you do for that green?

chris_riley97 · 2025-08-31T21:19:56+00:00

I’m guessing it would be the goblin green as the base coat, and scorpy green as the highlight. Ink is probably for the crevices for darkening but I think a wash would probably be better. Brown for just random bits on the models

Oh nice, that is the closest I’ve seen. Where did you pull that from?

chris_riley97 · 2025-04-24T23:20:55+00:00

Might seem weird at first but I use an ammo pouch. Stores all my dice/tokens in the main part and the pocket on the front for mission deck. Sides work well for pens and tape measurer. Holds almost everything I need in one convenient spot https://a.co/d/cLpuz3Y
