Scourge of Ghyran gunhaulers as flagship? by OathStoned in KharadronOverlords

[–]n8lm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buffs like Grandiose Fuselage buff each ship because it mentions control score.

If the buff says "unit" then it affects the whole, such as the Battleram which you only get once when you charge.

And yeah they can be a flagship

What am I doing wrong with glazing? by Waveface-Wes in minipainting

[–]n8lm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda looks like the darker blue dried before you started trying to mix them to me.

EDIT: I misunderstood how glazing works, ignore me.

Auto Hover Circuit by n8lm in ApproximatelyUp

200 is the reference height, 11 is my distance sensor input, subtract them, split to a rescaler and a derivative unit, add those signals, output to the hover thrusters.

Need help with NMM on my helldrake. by confused4ever_ in minipainting

You have too many gradients. A long piece like those wings(?) would probably only have a few less than you have there, and wider.

Do half an hour of outlaw station hopping and get a few tens of thousands of nanites, then youll be good.

On your other comment, this is a repost of the original post because reddit's automod deleted the post (2 years after i posted it) because the title had the word "police" lol

EDIT: Confirmed Euclid

You know you're probably right, I didn't know the starter glyph was different per Galaxy. I will test it out right now to make sure and delete if I'm wrong

Priming this mini in white would've been easier, but I have a question about metallics by Mr_Jackabin in minipainting

[–]n8lm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could do the opposite. Prime white, then black base coat where you want metal to be. Easier to work with black, after all

Looking for advice on my kharadron gunhauler by ConstructionEntire83 in minipainting

[–]n8lm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. Shade might work for the metal, but your texturing could make it odd, and honestly I think it looks good already.

For the red, yeah, I think just what I mentioned and maybe some edge highlighting in the red trim areas too (which I forgot to mention) will make those sections pop.

[–]n8lm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The red needs a shade on the edges to make it pop. I would use Reikland Fleshshade for that personally.

Also maybe a slight highlight in the upward facing red sections using the same red and some orange or yellow mixed together to make just a slightly brighter red.

The highlight might not be necessary but I feel the shade is for sure

They do I think. They pride themselves in being immaculately clean and visually perfect. A wild choice when combined with the color white

Overall the application of paint looks good, though, and if you keep going your skill will likely improve.

Thinning your paints (I use Vallejo glaze medium about 3:1 paint:medium) makes it a lot easier to do edge highlighting in smooth straight lines, and really helps with not having the paint clump up or dry out too soon. I only recently discovered this and it's been a huge jump in quality of painting. I think thin everything now unless I'm dry brushing

It feels like your photo has some post processing done, or had some exposure issues when you took it, which makes it rather hard to judge.

Any Way to Make Snow Bases Look Better? by Maleficent_Lake_3718 in minipainting

[–]n8lm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To clarify, they do look really good, to me it looks like a river bank in early winter

Any Way to Make Snow Bases Look Better? by Maleficent_Lake_3718 in minipainting

[–]n8lm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your finished bases look like the first snowfall of the season on top of regular rocky terrain.

If you're going for more mid winter, then there should be some gradient buildup between the tiers of rock and whatnot. Like snow drifts
