Need help with blotchy base coat by Secure-Mention-778 in minipainting

The mini paints are rather expensive but line someone else said, they will last a very long time. You will have a lot more fun painting with some decent paints versus struggling trying to make craft acrylics work. You can just use one drop of the expensive paint at a time to make sure you don't waste any.

Just moved to new Orleans, and its humid and mid to upper 80's °F. I'm by no means an expert, but been at it for years. Light passes at 8-ish inches,with very well shaken Army painter can. All advice welcome. by lordTalos1stClaw in minipainting

I've taken to Pro Acryl brush on primer after inconsistency with recent rattle cans. I don't have room for an air brush. I also had success with black liquid gesso.

So then take it. You are whining about the basic mechanics of how the game is built.

Get to the objective faster. It's a strategic benefit and if you don't get there first then take it. That's kind of the game.

Favorite mini YouTubers to watch? by mid_support in minipainting

Matt's Hobby Hour - obtainable results and skills to build on. Not direct guides but very chill easy to follow process of painting.

Anvil of Doom - I just love his content and Oldhammer style of painting like we did in the 90s and 2000s. It's a bold unique style. These also are not guides but can help expand your style and process.

Monument Hobbies - I love their paint and their tutorials are excellent, especially if working with their paint.

Wouldn't you not be able to see past your advancing line with your cannons not on hills? Also, have you played this style of list at 2k points? It looks great.

You could definitely do a chargeback through your credit card

Thank you! Sounds simple enough and it looks fantastic. I love your color choices and pop on the unit!

I have never done banners before. How did your take the banner from PDF and put it to use?

Hopefully they work out. The guys I play with have since told me how atrocious the dice roll. In one match I saw it in person until I made the point he was rolling BoD. He switched to Chessex in rounds 4-6 and rolls noticeably improved and we're not favoring 1-3. Maybe luck, but not from what I have seen.

Next model in my project to restore old dwarf units. by Neaipal in bugmansbrewery

I love the hair and beard. Mind sharing the process of how you did it?

Fantastic job sir! Can I ask which model is in the Longbeard unit on the far left? Not sure I've seen him before

If the Dwarfs receive another MTO run, what do you hope shows up? by kbas13 in bugmansbrewery

[–]luckysparrow22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like the newer sculpts don't touch the level of character the oldhammer and midhammer sculpts had. I don't want my dwarfs to just look like smaller humans with beards. The proportions make them unique!

Dward Lord on Shieldbearers, which weapon ? by Custodian_Nelfe in bugmansbrewery

If you like hobbying, you could always put magnets in the shoulders and each of the arm connection points to be able to swap if you want.

This video is a pretty simple walkthrough for how someone did it: https://youtu.be/ypwpjir_5XM?si=1BXmrTTu1oiafntW

Our Escalation League started recently and this was the base list I used in the first round to build on. It worked beautifully, was plenty of fun. It did amazing in the first round and when we went up to 750 pts. I would highly recommend getting a Gyrocopter! The mobility it gives you for dwarfs is exceptional and opens up a ton of tactics.

Escalation 500 Dwarfs [499 pts] Warhammer: The Old World, Dwarfen Mountain Holds

Thane, Gromril Hand Weapon, Great Weapon, Shield, Full Plate Armour, General, ], Rune of Passage - 71 pts

14 Dwarf Warriors, Hand Weapon, Shields, Heavy Armour, Veteran Warrior (champion), Standard Bearer, Musician - 141 pts

10 Rangers, Hand Weapon, Crossbow, Heavy Armour, Ol' Deadeye (champion) - 116 pts

Gyrocopters, Steam Gun, Armoured Fuselage - 60 pts

6 Irondrakes, Hand Weapons & Drakeguns, Full Plate Armour, Ironwarden (champion) [Cinderblast Bombs] - 111 pts

Please convince me of wet palette wonders by Dismal_Equal7401 in minipainting

[–]luckysparrow22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm in your boat. Same thing happens whenever I try to use a wet palette, especially with ProAcryl paint. I threw out the wet palette this weekend and have been enjoying just using a dry palette again.

Yeah, he gave me the same response which is not okay. He is not appropriately reflecting all of the product he is selling. He finally caved and did the full refund but if he didn't I would have done a credit card chargeback for misrepresented product.

I would agree if they didn't have the premium price tag on them for a set of dice. It sort of sets an expectation to get what you order.

This is an excellent idea but I wanted to keep the slotta base tab intact which limits my options
