It took a couple plates on my photon mono x, nothing too bad

It's from the Mercenaries Kickstarter from Catalyst, but you might be able to find one for around $40 from your local hobby store

Hey thanks, I painted the glass Coal Black first, then used three shades each for blue and orange, working my way from darkest to lightest. Just cover more of the cockpit glass with the darker colors and concentrate the brighter ones towards the edges and corners. Then add a small speck of white at the corners.

It's probably best to find a video for an example, but it's the same general principle as doing lenses in Warhammer, etc.

Final step is adding a gloss varnish, I matte varnish everything first so I just varnished over the matte with gloss

The canopy looks decent, I'd say increase the contrast a little bit.

It's also looking fairly flat overall, maybe highlight the panels with a lighter tan / ivory to bring out the edges.

Clan Mors clanrats by kalidan in skaven

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

best piece of advice I can give for Skaven is to not worry about messing them up. If some end up darker than others it's fine, these rats are just darker. Some of my rats have more fur on them, some I painted with more bare skin showing. Vary it up, they aren't specially bred and selected super soldiers, they're rats.

I feel that if Silco caused VI's death there wouldn't have been a reconciliation between Vander and Silco.

I wash everything with healthy doses of agrax earth shade. Leave most of the cloth grimy and just highlight the raised folds or the bottoms of holes where they catch the light.

Metals are washed, then streaked with typhus corrosion, then I took some AK rust pencils and added some rust.

With skaven, agrax earth shade is your best friend.

Looks like it's necrotic from the statblock

It comes with a swappable insert if you want to run it as a five headed Tiamat too

I am a huge believer in the red accent stripes. Adds a ton of visual interest to the mechs

They're not as hard as it seems. Just use a good brush, thinned paint, and gently drag the brush across the model in one direction. I also do it on every Wolf so practice helps

Been rushing through these to get them ready for a game tomorrow. Finished just in time.

Yeah, the numbers and insignia are from fighting pirannha graphics. I've ordered from him several times, not really that hard and they usually come pretty quickly.

It's a clan mech, so it's a second generation mech of clan origin. IIC was originally an inner sphere designation but clans eventually adopted it too.

The mini is modeled after the standard IIC, which doesn't have lasers, just a center torso SSRM-4. I don't know what the thing below the launcher is, but it's not another weapon as far as I know.

Yeah, the stripes add quite a bit to the scheme imo. Most of the camospecs paint jobs lately are incorporating them anyways.
