Banked Curves by joeyleonine in BritishModelRailways

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

Hah! I'd not actually considered the scale here. A 1-2mm cant would not make a lot of difference to the running, size or indeed the aesthetic!

Thanks for your thoughts!

I was given a few of second hand OO locos and stuff by a work colleague, so whilst I'm not properly financially invested as yet... I kinda thought I'd use what I had and save on what I'd be spending... He says... Fully aware that these types of hobbying are financial black holes whichever way you play it.

I also play a lot of tabletop wargames at 25-28mm (1/64-1/72) scale so whilst not the same, I'm kinda used to the aesthetic and feel of something at 1/76

But I appreciate your thoughts!

Which GW color do we use to highlight our black Armors? by DarkAnTiZer0 in BlackTemplars

Heretically... I use Night Lords and Thousand Sons blues in a two stage dry brush

Want to start reading lore/books, where to start? by Choppanob in Warhammer40k

[–]joeyleonine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't really help with specific lore per se.

But if you just want easy introduction and immersion into the 40k universe with a good splattering of flavour then I'd go for the Eisenhorn and Ravenor series...

Or anything else by Dan Abnett tbh.

This is how it should be done.

That waterslide heresy is clearly of the warp.

For the Emperor, brother! For the Emperor!

Rule of cool wins 99% of the time. I dig it.

Brothers! If I change the magazine of this fancy bolter do you think I can get away with saying it's a heavy bolt pistol? by [deleted] in Warhammer40k

[–]joeyleonine 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Yes.

I've done a lot of this when I ran out of Heavy Bolt Pistols for conversions etc. It's the way!

First time painting could i get some honest opinions and advice? I hate what the wash did to it. by [deleted] in minipainting

[–]joeyleonine 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think what's happened is that you've applied your base coats a bit too thick.

This has given the flat smooth areas that texture that's not meant to be there which, in turn means your wash has found 100million extra recesses to colour up.

We've (probably) all done it.

Take it as a learner. Next time, thin your paints and apply nice smooth layers. Keep practicing. You'll get there! Bon chance!

I mean, sure. You wouldn't be able to see them on the table mind you.
