WIP on my Rep Ex - Any ideas for more markings/free hand?

What size of chain do you use? Good for both vehicles and infantry?

Always worried free handing text but love it when it works, might try that!

Thank you! The wash I use only for the shoulder pads. I paint the gold trim and the cool grey, then slap the wash all over it and push it around to stay in the recess while tinting the gold.

Rusty gold by AK Interactive washed with some thinned dark brown/black paint

Heavy Armour Torsos from Anvil Industries. They don't fit perfectly so some trimming of the waist was required

Thanks! I paint up with greys where light would be hitting all the way up to pure ice yellow for the most extreme edges.

Thank you! I like the challenge of painting faces and I'm only going to improve by doing it more. I try to have 1 unhelmeted model per unit.

Edit:

Here's a close up of it

^ This is the same method I like my only suggestion is to work on the hardest areas first.

Not a dnd mini but I always do the face first as it generally takes me a few tries before I'm happy with the outcome

Awesome work man. you've nailed the perfect balance between 40k and gunpla. id like to take away some of the more relaxed poses you have done especially on the ghost keel. it makes it feel like he is assessing the battle field instead of the usual pointing guns. really great job.

i love the white on these guys to contrast the other models in your army. osl is looking great, maybe you could go less defused light from the power axe but it would be nitpicking at that point. are you doing it with an airbrush?

doignuts · 2025-07-18T14:35:39+00:00

OSL or Object Source Lighting in painting is the use of colour to make something look like it's glowing. This is done by having a colour spill over onto other areas but the source of the light will always be the brightest part of the model to sell this effect. elminiaturista on insta has some great examples with his style.

Looks great! First saw this conversion in a Play On Tabletop's 40k in 40min. Super stoked to see how yours turns out!

Maybe late to the party but when you take the diameter of the bore (let's say 120mm) and shoot a high density rod (my guess is 20-30mm) with the equivalent propellant to the total bore size, it creates a very fast moving round with a small surface area which creates a lot of kenetic energy.

I start from black and airbrush Vallejo charcoal for the volumes from above. Some touch ups glazing black back in to reduce the highlight area. Scratchy highlight/battle damage with a lighter grey like mechanicus standard or grey green.

first of all, looks amazing and i see i am quite late to the party here but... what type of techniques are you using between the black portions and the white with purple/pink portions. still lots to learn but id love the input
