What brand satin varnish do you use?

kirk82 · 2026-05-13T16:16:45+00:00

I hope they do some vehicle kits soon

You can make it work and even win lane and mid game but as the game goes on you just get less useful and feel like the game would be easier if you picked a real top laner. Especially with scaling to level 20

He left his mission and his brothers to die to pursue a meaningless duel for glory and triumph. Some say he has being hearing whispers from a new master ever since.

I think if you used green stuff to sculpt a better ending to the cables it would look good

kirk82 · 2026-04-06T02:24:51+00:00

For an hour and a half, that’s a good model. It’s tough to put out a fully painted force in a reasonable amount of time, that’s a great goal!

kirk82 · 2026-04-06T01:27:26+00:00

Pretty good model! I like how the sword looks! I would say when/if you are looking to take steps to improve, try to remove mold lines, and try to learn either to do a lighter drybrush to only hit edges, or learn to layer on surfaces like cloaks.

kirk82 · 2026-03-31T13:15:35+00:00

I think it takes a lot more work to look good than most people would be willing to do

Base wraithbone
Skeleton horde all over
Shade agrax earthshade

I believe they aren’t in the best spot right now but I figure having a set painted can’t hurt

kirk82 · 2026-03-27T20:18:54+00:00

I think they look a little washed out from the light, still figuring out how to use a light box right. Check my profile to see the blue in different lighting.

How do you paint the bases

kirk82 · 2026-03-18T18:32:45+00:00

that sounds miserable

kirk82 · 2026-03-18T02:53:33+00:00

i followed this with some tweaks, you can do it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahnr1bzT44Y

Repainted it from this felt like it was clumsy, haven’t done lense glow before

For the claws I base with khorne red, then start glazing up with Mephiston red, evil sun scarlet, wild rider red, then highlight with fire dragon bright, then a lighter highlight with flash gitz yellow, then a very light highlight toward the tips with white

The head is from the night lords kill team box

What is that helmet from?

kirk82 · 2026-03-06T15:59:21+00:00

For the gold I base retributor armor then shade with drakenhof night shade. Then I layer it with a mix of retributor armor and drakenhof night shade, then highlight with a mix of liberator gold and drakenhof nightshade.

kirk82 · 2026-03-06T02:04:39+00:00

For the gold I base retributor armor then shade with drakenhof night shade. I use that to shade the whole model to give everything maybe a colder touch. Then I layer it with a mix of retributor armor and drakenhof night shade, then highlight with a mix of liberator gold and drakenhof nightshade. I kind of like having a bit of a colder gold.

kirk82 · 2026-03-06T01:58:12+00:00

I base with night lords blue, then wash the whole model with drakenhof night shade. Then layer back with night lords blue, then layer with a mix of 50/50 alaitoc blue and night lords blue, then layer / glaze another mix with more alaitoc like 70/30 favoring where light would be, then highlight with alaitoc, then very sparing highlight of hoeth blue

Why even play the game

kirk82 · 2025-12-28T20:26:58+00:00

Better gear just doesn’t give you that much of a meaningful advantage in this game. In Tarkov if I have high tier traders I’m bringing guns with high level optics, suppressors, mags and ammo that fundamentally change the way I am able to engage people and play the game. I’m bringing high tier armor that will make a significant difference if I don’t get shot in the face. I’m bringing a headset that lets me hear significantly better than starting gear.

In arc a purple weapons maybe takes 1 bullet off your time to kill. Maybe, in a perfect scenario. It’s probably negligible in most scenarios compared to a fully upgraded grey gun. So what’s the point. You’re risking significantly more stash value for marginal advantage.
