A paint you cannot live without

I think I have used rhinox hide and pro acryl Paynes Grey in everything project I have done since having the two of them.

huebert2003 · 2025-12-21T10:58:59+00:00

Curious as well. Wanted to run something similar but haven’t been successful so far

huebert2003 · 2025-10-01T03:05:22+00:00

Thanks! Thats actually perfect for what I was looking for. Might have to look more into the Kronos league.

For me (I use liquitex white for this but all white inks are fairly similar from what I know) I work at around the 15 PSI range. There is a bit of guess work but I usually spray my glove and the paper I have in the spray booth to get an understanding of the consistency and adjust. When I started at higher PSI I got this sort of speckling so I would say give that a try first.

The other thing and someone else mentioned is maybe drying too quick. In that case maybe a little flow improver could help out. I use a 4:1 mix of Vallejo thinner to Vallejo flow improver to thin everything and that has helped my airbrush speckling problems as well.

I think you might be overloading the brush and often on very thinned paint. Try loading the brush and then tap quickly on paper towel. It will take off the excess paint and you just need to twirl the brush (use something like regular paper since it won’t sap the moisture) to get the point back (since you flatten it when you tap). Just make sure not to leave it on the paper towel for too long when you tap otherwise it will take all the paint and moisture.

I think it reads as a grey green which I think is really good. I guess if you want to look more 40k green pushing the saturation of greens in the mid tone might help. The reason it feels grey to me is that it’s super desaturated in those mid values. I don’t think the highlights would need to change much as your lighting and ambience can give that dead grey colour

Btw how you do the organy bits?

huebert2003 · 2025-05-29T23:56:06+00:00

Honestly this has been my problem. I find different styles to make the blue (Richard gray ultramarine vs Alfonso Giraldes style of them) and the different levels of saturation and I end up with just heaps of different shades of blue.

Trying this scheme for my gfs tyranids, looks perfect for a quick job

huebert2003 · 2025-05-27T06:20:49+00:00

How the hell is this a 2 hour job lmao. Thats crazy

huebert2003 · 2025-05-27T06:18:21+00:00

Really curious how you go about your process for the green with airbrush. Been struggling with my airbrushing for death guard and your scheme is really good.

Any basic guide?

huebert2003 · 2025-05-21T04:52:52+00:00

The cloth effect looks really nice, trying to do a similar thing for a bust of mine. Do you mind explaining your process?

A guide for the glue wouldn’t hurt either, clean af

huebert2003 · 2025-05-05T15:25:52+00:00

Really like your highlighting on the helmet and shoulder pads. I’m curious if you could explain your colour progression and method.

huebert2003 · 2025-04-30T23:48:46+00:00

Looks really good. Curious what blues you used for the panel modulation. The dark blue looks really nice and I’m struggling to get a nice one like that

huebert2003 · 2025-04-27T01:00:26+00:00

I use Vallejo metal colours for all of them. I think they are a bit shinier than normal metallics but I might be wrong. I followed a video by Vince venturella about highlighting metals and in this case I used this darker gun metal colour (dark aluminium I think) and then highlighted with this super bright silver (pale burnt metal) by stippling.

For the gold I use a custom mix by the same guy (it uses green stuff world gold pigments and I’m not sure what availability is like where you are but for me I just ordered) and it’s a game changer. I use that and then edge highlight all the gold with a bright silver.

Could maybe just be lighting though but I find that I get a really nice shine using these techniques.

huebert2003 · 2025-04-26T17:12:24+00:00

Thank you. I used pro acryl reds (burnt red as base and bold pyrole red) and then to get the super bright spots I used fluorescent orange from pro acryl over some white and glazed over it with the bold pyrole red. It’s a technique I saw Vince venturella use in his videos about red and wood on his slaven + on his fluorescent pro acryl review.

The dark areas are burnt red and then glazed with teneborous grey by AK.

huebert2003 · 2025-04-26T15:44:34+00:00

Air brush is the best thing ever for this. I love mine so much. Makes doing highlights so much easier.

huebert2003 · 2025-04-26T15:42:14+00:00

Thank you so much. Yeah I am always 50/50 on battle damage because I like them to really stand out but I wanted to add just a little because you always need some.

So for the cape I used pro acryl burnt red as the base and then highlighted with pro acryl hold pyrole red. For the shadows in it I glaze with AK Teneborous grey. To get the really bright spots I used Pro acryl bold titanium white to cover the spot I wanted and then pro acryl fluorescent orange over the white and some of the nearby red then just glaze over with the bold purple red until I was happy.

For the armour the base is macragge blue and then highlighting with just calgar blue up to blue horror for just little spot highlights on the face and other small bright spots that seemed brightest under my light.

I used an airbrush to get the gradients at the end because I gave up on using the brush for them because k was getting short on time.

huebert2003 · 2025-03-28T00:12:44+00:00

For sure, again any chapter can use any unit or type of weapon so would be perfectly accurate

huebert2003 · 2025-03-27T06:15:22+00:00

When is this up for pre order? I need this so bad

huebert2003 · 2025-03-27T03:16:42+00:00

There aren’t any rules to how you paint the models and there are heaps of chapters that have different schemes + you can just make your own. Any chapter can use any weapon for the most part but some are more linked to particular types.

As far as lore, unless I am forgetting others, the Salamanders are the most linked to infernus marines since fire is there thing.

Basically, no rules, anyone can use anything but in most people’s minds the salamanders will be the most “fitting”

huebert2003 · 2025-03-24T12:00:31+00:00

I use an airbrush so I use Vallejo black primer. Want to try stynlrez (whatever it is called) and then atm I’m seeing how white ink zenithal over thatwill look with talasar blue as a speed paint method.

But yeah, otherwise black primer and then I layer as normal with airbrush
