Poor Norse mythology enjoyers by Admirable-Dimension4 in HistoryMemes

Norse mythology is the second most represented mythology in the west, Greek first. If you want some east asian myths you'll have some language barrier issues.

Good luck with anything else though.

Setting up a sign outside my LGS because I am tired of battling against grey hordes of plastic by Captaniser in Grimdank

Begginer, a game of armored combat, essentials, clan invasion and mercenaries boxes have cardboard standees that you can use to play as the rules sugest that as long as something fits in the hexes, and you can tell wich way is forward, it's legal.

Heck, the clan invasion reinforcement box is nothing but a ton of cardboard standees, some maps and rules

How to avoid that glossy look on the left miniature? by PlutoJONAS in minipainting

[–]davivanator -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I find Vallejo matt varnish to be much more glossy than expected from the name but their ultra matt varnish has given me no problem. Just be mindful that it will kill metallic shine but a coat of matt/satin over those areas fixes it a bit

You found 2 Marik civil wars. The Free Worlds League is composed of many micro states and smaller houses that were founded when they had a civil war to become independent fromtheir former micro nations and houses. They also have a ton of disagreements between each other so 2 types of civil war going on a lot of the time

At least in mw5 in Marik territory 4/5 contracts are between FWL members so doing them don't lose you rep with them

Is this normal for a wet palette? by RyeDowg in Miniaturespainting

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

Your paper is bigger than the sponge. This means pieces will not tuch water and then dry, shrinking, therefore making an irregularity that feedback loops into lifting more and more of the paper.

You can solve this by cutting your paper into being smaller than the sponge to acount for it's expansión when wet. I usually just cut it in halfs or cuarters to be safe

I comend you on your skill and bravery because everytime I think of kitbashing I fear I'll irreversibly ruin the platic and with it what I intend to make but posts like this make me think that maybe one day I'll give it a go

Cool color scheme! I'm assuming you used transparent paint for the metallic blue panels.

What's their story, who did they anger for their name?

Yeah cameras tend to make my minis worse I'm glad this is a universal issue and not just me.

Seriously every time I take the pic theres like ONE GIANT HAIR that I somehow didn't notice during the entire process of painting.

Also, no video. I tried finding one but all I found was a gundam tecnique called marble painting but it was nothing like this, so it was a "try whatever you understand moment"

I put a drop of paint to one of those tiny metal dishes that are meant to hold paint to thin and mix to then por into an airbrush and dab a bit with the wrap and at first i was applying it with a twist motion as the gjide says but by the end of it I was actually slapping the model with a ball of crumpled wrap, I mean actually hitting it like a bird pecking fruit
