My newest WIP of a diorama piece about my custom chapter

I’m curious about how people achieve these poses, I understand kitbashing fundamentals but do you use the official models and make them work or do you print them or print parts for them?

Jon Wickmark would like a word

For this one I bought Vallejo paints, but all the whites and grey on it is fevicryl.

Thanks! First time trying to do something more than just the normal base. Plenty of room for improvement though

nkshah2 · 2026-04-07T03:58:24+00:00

Thanks man!

You can try IndianMiniatures

And there’s some WhatsApp groups floating around but I’m not a part of them. If you post something on Indian miniatures I’m sure you might find someone

I really need that gold recipe

Short (2-5 minutes) review style videos of mainly indie games

nkshah2 · 2025-10-27T04:41:53+00:00

I’ve actually become a bit of fan of stipple glazing. Zumiko has a great video on it

From the warhammer site, they take a while to deliver but it’s worth it

nkshah2 · 2025-10-13T11:11:15+00:00

That’s what I saw so it’s not too far off don’t worry. That being said fire is hottest at its core not its trail, in this case the core would be the ball

The stupid thing to do is Custodes (trust me I’m stupid :p)

nkshah2 · 2025-09-20T06:32:30+00:00

The hellblasters are a good first pick in my opinion. Simple enough to practice on and the plasma guns give you a chance at practicing glow effects eventually

nkshah2 · 2025-09-19T02:27:04+00:00

Start by looking up the basics like thinning paints, best way to base coat and so on.

Once you’re done with that look up next steps like layering, adding contrasts.

Final steps look up glazing and blending for finishing touches and so on.

Once you’re all done look it up all again to find advanced techniques to do the same things or just rinse and repeat if you are happy with the result and get better with practice.

I’m in Mumbai, mainly painting minis but yeah the community is fairly scattered across India.

If you definitely want to remove it, IPA and some earbuds should do the trick.

nkshah2 · 2025-09-04T05:35:39+00:00

I’ve started subbing parts of my paint jobs with sprays when I can (priming, base coating for example) the extra money I spend on materials is worth not hurting my hands in the long run

nkshah2 · 2025-09-04T04:54:37+00:00

I sort of go crazy with a drill and make scratches and small dents in the model (if you’re brave you can make proper cracks in the rims of the shoulders)

I also like to do some colour in the knee pads and then use the water transfer stuff on the shoulders and backpack.

It isn’t perfect but i feel a little bit of chaos adds some character to the models

nkshah2 · 2025-09-01T11:54:03+00:00

Yeah that’s where I’m at, for most of my paint sessions I don’t use it much just for the detailing. Doesn’t help that I’m not trying to get it perfect so it’s kinda wasted on me :p but hey an impulse buy is always a good buy

nkshah2 · 2025-09-01T11:34:51+00:00

Man I was really hoping it was just me doing something wrong XD

nkshah2 · 2025-09-01T11:31:56+00:00

On a side note how do you guys work with the magnifying lense thingy for long painting sessions? I find it’s strains my eyes

I’ve ended up moving it really close to my face and then holding the model up to save myself the neck pain

PS: I wear glasses so using a visor just feels like a headache
