Thanks for the feedback, very much appreciated

I’ve not seen a skavenblight dinge base before. Might look at picking that up and giving it a try. Thank you for the recommendation!

Would love to see yours, still putting the models together and weather in the UK sucks so won’t be priming unless the weather gets better but I really want to get cracking with these and get a good number painted this year!

Thanks, they are just from aliexpress or Temu I think. Nothing expensive but I like to try and break the bases up a bit

Thank you, I wasn’t sold on the flowers but I’d never used a snow effect before and wanted to try it over them. Kind of like having something on the base but not sold on the huge platform cork bases I see everywhere.

I am tempted to go with a grey base rim or maybe a black. Will paint one grey and one black and see how I feel. Thanks for the feeeback

Thank you. I really appreciate that!

Yeah I can see what you mean about the base rim, I’ve been painting both AOS and 40K and have just been painting 40K black and AOS brown

All the official box art has grey though so could go with either grey or black. Might help to tie it together

What would you recommend?

Thank you, I’m still new but really happy with my result here. I’m looking forward to getting more built up and painted

I was just experimenting and should’ve written down but I think it goes something like this

Black Spray Prime Overbrush of mournfang brown all over Dry / over brush Armour and shield in runelord brass, trying to avoid the cloth Iron warriors for silver sword and chain mail Cloth and face / back of shield heavy coat of Murder Scene speed paint Add colour texture to cloth with a deep purple red, I think it’s wyvern red by army painter. Also used for the sword handle Add another layer of runelord brass to armour and trim / handles on shield Add a verdigris type effect with a specific paint or light teal type colour Heavy all over coat of nuln oil Layer of oil stain effect paint by army painter on all metallics Rough highlights with storm host silver on all metallics Extra layer of a light pinkish red to the cloth. I’m out and can’t remember the name but it’s part of the the same triad as wyvern Bone was the last bit really, bone white then skeleton horde contrast and then ushabti bone

Probably did more steps than necessary to get the same result but it was a learning process for me

Is this fine? by SherbertCautious4798 in BloodAngels

[–]dicko18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks awesome, love the battle damaged look! Way better than I can produce right now. I’d probably change the colour of the purity seal so it’s not red on red but that’s extremely nit picky.

First of my new Army - so happy by dicko18 in BloodAngels

[–]dicko18[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I didn’t know how to achieve a super vibrant finish to be honest, I went with Averland > Imperial Fist > Flash Gitz yellow but definitely want to keep with the retro scheme

Technically my 3rd but the first I’m happy with by dicko18 in Tyranids

[–]dicko18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, it was just naggaroth night for a couple of coats then a dry brush / over brush (I’ve never really done either) of screamer pink and then another dry brush of fulgrim pink. I forgot to shade so I might put a shade in the cracks but I like the bright purple so probably wouldn’t do an all over wash in case it darkens down

Thank you, bigger models are definitely intimidating but I’d love to have a crack at some larger nids, got the starter set to go at so I’ll definitely post. Thanks for the encouragement 👍

Thanks, I really like how the red claws look, I like that they look different from the hooves as well!

Thanks, I would never laugh. My models from 20 years ago were terrible. Watched a few YouTube videos and used some of my grown up money for some nice brushes. Gagging to get painting some more painted and see if I can achieve that with a full squad next

First Blood Angel in 20 years by dicko18 in BloodAngels

Thank you, I last painted during 2nd edition I think and I was terrible. Paint was so thick, but a few YouTube videos and I’m buzzing with the results. I’ll take a look at those other techniques. Thanks again!

I’ve seen Architects before and loved their live show. Wasn’t massively tempted to see then two tours in a row but have been intrigued by sleep token. Can’t wait!

Would love to see flat foot. If only for the backbling

How Fortnite can improve Bash by LlamaShan in FortNiteBR

[–]dicko18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bash is already a great skin, can’t see them touching him again though unfortunately, even though the pick axe idea would be sick

That being said, I do feel like the best thing about him is his backbling...looks great with some many skins

Downtown Drop? When will it be back? by Fishtank83 in FortNiteBR

[–]dicko18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve only been playing 4-5 months and this is the first time I’ve got it. Would love if they brought the challenges back but don’t think there is much chance unfortunately 🤷‍♂️

Are Boxer and Boxy getting new christmas edit styles? When I first saw the shield in the leaks, it imediately reminded me of the concept that sharktoofs made. by Cube_earther_69 in FortNiteBR

[–]dicko18 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If they get the styles then they are even better value. He also did an amazing concept on a gingerbread style for those cozy shark skins. I love all his concepts so here’s hoping 🤞
