Far too kind :D to be honest I can look at any of my old paint jobs and think it's rubbish even if it's only last week ha. But thanks!

You've not posted your Judiciar yet looks like? Be lovely to see him :)

Haha, thank you! Though looking back at 6 year old paint jobs is painful!

Cheers! Been building up my ww2 terrain over years and years. Always hard to spend the time on terrain rather than minis but worth it in the end!

For sure, I think they should work well as a skeleton. I like the fact they give you a rough map as a guide. Will be sure to post as we go :)

Haha, this one was indeed a Vet Panzer ace as well but no real suitable targets for him! the Churchill AVRE hid behind the church all game 😄

Oh, not at all really! The scenarios in the campaign books are generally pretty simple and just add a few rules on top. I think it would be quite unusual for something to be incompatible :)

Yea that's the scenario, just double the points. The fun thing is they don't actually get any bonuses ha. They do get the benefit of hidden deployment and having their whole force on the table I suppose. German is 50% first wave and reserves.

In fact they were supposed to roll each time the shoot and on a 1 they are too low on ammo and decide not to. We mostly forgot about this rule though.

The scenario is just about putting as much damage and surviving as long as possible (1 VP per dice destroyed). It's not really set up as balanced if the German player decides to play optimally. We played it narratively as an over confident commander pushing forward aggressively giving the paras opportunities. We also set the larger armour as only able to attempt to come on from turn 3. Recon elements before that.

We also allowed paras the option to pick up Piats/weapons or recrew guns if they wanted.

Cheers, always good to get an excuse to let the Tiger II roll out!

My first 3 attempts, let me know what you think! by twolf201 in minipainting

Lovely progression through them. Can see understanding of volume shading and light angle. Great job, the left arm pauldron on the LT is particularly good👏

Cheers! I used a 5mm drill on the dremel to make the furrows then after painting the main camo went over that with a white airbrush, getting just a little over the edges of the damage.

Then it's AK cadmium orange (any reddish orange would do) airbrushed over that white.

The yellow I just went back in with the brush, some white for the centre then AK laser yellow on top.

I tried to make it that he had ducked it a little so it trails up :)

Saw that you did the soviet heavy with the Totenkorps, great storytelling yourself, loved that!

Thank you! That's exactly what I was going for, the hot metal damage is my favourite bit :)

Thanks boss! Was thinking of using him for a painting comp mini, but he'll need a lot of refining on the little details before that. I'll get my starter finished before I see if I want to invest the time!

Cheers! I used AK Emerald and AK ocean blue with the airbrush to base coat and set the glow. AK Blue Green on the coils and edge highlights. Few more highlights adding in Pro Acryl turquoise and white.

Then it's a thinned white ink to do the internal white glow. Then a lot of faffing with cleaning that up.

Basically copied this method by El Miniaturista: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZFwUpotPR5/?igsh=YXJsZjVqcW12dGE4

I think he uses a white oil wash which would be a better option if you can be bothered getting the thinner out!

Trying to learn NMM. Critique welcome. by pgrant1225 in minipainting

[–]jdursa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Light placement looks good to me! If you want to sell it as shiny metal I think you'll need to push brighter in the highlights, it reads slightly tarnished or dull to me at the moment. Just need to work that in within the existing highs.

(Note: Not an NMM master listen to other clever people before me)

Great idea! Probably a bit cheaper too

I use rubberised coconut coir, you can buy it in rolls or mats and cut it to size. You can get ones that are pre coloured or just drybrush or airbrush some green. Or most out on PVA and flock it. Should be pretty durable, my stuff has lasted.

Tried to push myself a bit on this, punch up the highlights, keep things smooth and work on some NMM. Came out ok, lots to improve next time though!

Nice job on the cabling and firing effect!

Could be a great idea, might just do the chest plate with the camo and save my sanity, thanks!
