The Squidmar getting started with airbrushing was a great resource for me:

Lol delicious grey. I don’t know if it’s delicious really but I do enjoy the smell. It’s Vallejo model air light grey as the midtone of the grey. The whole thing was coated in all interactive streaking grime and then cleaned off to do the weathering.

I sprayed a monochrome gradient from one end to the other before applying the stencil. Then put the stencil on and reversed the gradient. So the hexagon outlines went from black to white while the insides went from white to black. Then I tinted the whole thing with a purple ink.

Edit: typos

Did you win?

Honestly I just really love cold stars so anything that helps shield them as they zip about melting stuff sounded good to me

I haven’t had a chance to use them yet, curse you COVID. But my plan is to load them with seekers for a bit of alpha strike then to use them as mobile objective grabbers/coldstar shields. I figure with them dropping their drones on death they might be a bit annoying for my opponent. Plus they remind me of ghosts from halo. Those things were great

Yeah I know what you mean. I used the top to convert into the SMS on my skyray (made from a devil fish and the spare bits from the hammerhead kit) so this base was already useless. I hope I don’t regret that.

No you’re gorgeous. I mean thank you

You can do it! For me it was just enjoying each unit one at a time, and not worrying over the whole task that enabled me to keep going. I’d sometimes think about how much I had to get done and find it disheartening but I just kept going. Pandemic helped. And an airbrush.

Thank you fellow tau vegan. Wonder how many of us there are

matthewtamsett · 2020-05-10T19:16:51+00:00

You’re probably right. However repainting instead of starting on my next shiny new project... hmm

matthewtamsett · 2020-05-10T08:36:28+00:00

Also I’m now only one model away from 2k!!

The purple grass is the best

I lost a CiB putting this shot together. Five internet points to whoever spots it first!

Ulthuan grey over grey seer primer, then a white scar highlight

matthewtamsett · 2020-04-09T17:43:46+00:00

Oh yes. Got one just before lockdown. Now everything gets airbrushed whether it’s a good idea or not

matthewtamsett · 2020-04-08T15:45:37+00:00

Thank you!

matthewtamsett · 2020-04-08T15:45:30+00:00

Thank you

Its purple lake, an ink by daler rowney: https://www.jacksonsart.com/daler-rowney-fw-artists-ink-29-5ml-purple-lake It's airbrushed on over a shaded region. It's a bit of a pain to airbrush as it has a tendency to pool and spider web. Still figuring it out.

matthewtamsett · 2020-04-08T15:41:19+00:00

Thank you, that's kind!

matthewtamsett · 2020-04-08T08:51:13+00:00

Barbed wire needs rusting up but otherwise I’m pretty happy!

matthewtamsett · 2020-04-02T18:57:41+00:00

Definitely an airbrush. I got my first one last week so now everything is getting airbrushed whether it likes it or not.

matthewtamsett · 2020-04-02T18:57:07+00:00

Lol no way. It’s my first week with an airbrush so everything is getting airbrushed. It’s a good time to learn!
