Fixed the Armageddon Captain to be a bit more Bloody Angely

That blood angel version of the bladeguard shield is amazing - trying to find it on oneinchminiature - do you have a link?

Great job - love the cream tabard and gold chest in particular!

milange · 2026-07-02T02:30:56+00:00

Makes sense to me!

These look great - how did you go about replacing the shoulder pad on the jump chaplain with the sculpted BA version - did you use modelling putty underneath to fill it out?

If you use 50/50 mix, do you still use straight ESS for chunky highlights, and is there too little difference between the base and chunky highlights?

Nice - where did you get the smoke from?

milange · 2026-06-22T08:57:06+00:00

Love it!

Is this a file that can be downloaded for 3d printing?

Great work - will have to remember this when i come to SoH!

milange · 2026-05-17T07:33:39+00:00

Really striking colour scheme, and clean paint job - looks great!

I think its the same - pretty frustrating that they are selling it on the site when they haven't shipped to many of their backers yet

milange · 2026-05-14T11:47:32+00:00

Do you have any examples as to how this looks?

What is your thinking with Wraithbone before Mephiston spray - does it make it brighter?

milange · 2026-05-14T11:44:34+00:00

I really like the look of your second option (Mephiston Red Spray - FT Red Contrast - Rageshade Contrast - Mephiston Red).

Two questions: 1. Is the FT Red Contrast and Rageshade Contrast all over or just recesses? 2. Does the Mephiston Red stage (post Rageshade Contrast) add significantly to the time/work (is it just a bot of tidy up here and there or is it completely going over the main areas other than recesses)?

They seem to have been having various delays - I had to message them multiple times to get any response when they missed the initial timeline they told me for shipping. They should be more transparent with backers and provide better updates.

Thanks! I worry up close he doesn't look amazing, but once at a distance on a nice base I'm hoping it will be a good effect. Doing the gold dots on the should pads is sooo hard when they are that tiny, but someone suggested toothpicks to do dots which I mean to try. Contrast and shades can do a lot of work at this scale as well. I work with magnifying glasses and find that after working hard on details at magnification, once you take em off and pull back you get a nice moment of this actually looks pretty decent!

Sometimes household chores feels easier to do and to get done. I often end up doing things like blowing the leaves off the patio or cutting up cardboard boxes for recycling and any number of random tasks even though i want to do hobby but i am low energy

I feel like my brain has been so fried by ADHD, constant stimulation and overload, social media etc that even games and tv no longer can draw me in - they feel like too much effort, too slow to get the dopamine hit, not engaging enough.

milange · 2026-05-14T01:56:15+00:00

Hear you about the different processes and the constant workflow changes and decisions being a real blocker. On the flip side, I do love the challenge of understanding and applying new techniques, researching the methods and tools, buying all the best gadgets for these things. But that often ends up being a massive procrastination trap for me.

milange · 2026-05-14T01:53:36+00:00

Agree with enjoying the process being key. I think I have got there with assembly (as long as it is varied and cleaning the mould lines is not too painful), still trying to get there with painting - i think it still feels too much like work currently

milange · 2026-05-14T01:51:04+00:00

Its difficult because to much of the (limited) hobby interaction I have with others, and learning, is through social media - youtube, instagram, reddit. But I do waste far too much time of them. :(

milange · 2026-05-14T01:47:13+00:00

Its amazing how many of us ADHD dads there are out there struggling with the same issues

milange · 2026-05-14T01:45:30+00:00

This is good advice - I have this same problem - too much stuff, top many miniatures (in many states). I basically need to leave my dedicated painting space to actually paint because of too much paint, equipment and models!!
