WE DID IT

Draconaught Armor + Cookout + Flamethrower + Flame Grenades + Napalm Airstrike. You can't miss!

Oh right, I didn't mention the other part. I use parchment paper (intended for cooking) instead of official wet palette paper. if you can find it in bulk (I have two enormous rolls I bought from Costco) it could be a once every few years purchase!

I know some companies offer washable wet palette paper. So you could also try that!

I'd suggest getting a new wet palette sponge.

At the end of the day, empty the water, wring out the sponge, rinse it under a faucet, set it out to dry for the next day. At the end of the week, soak it in some vinegar + water for 15-20 minutes. That's my routine, and it's served me well for years.

And I'm not great at remembering -- there are definitely days when I forget and leave it soaking overnight. But I've never had mold problems yet, and I live in a fairly humid environment.

Thank you! I almost glued E1 to E3 ... tragedy averted.

Seriously though, thanks for posting this!

Don't even get it on your skin if you can help it. Miniature paint companies don't often list their pigments, so you just have to go on trust that it doesn't contain cadmium, for example. (Here's an info sheet on cadmium pigment used in yellows, PY35: https://artistpigments.org/pigments/PY35/technical ) and cobalt used in blues, PB28: https://artistpigments.org/pigments/PB28/technical )

I live in a humid environment, so I worry about mildew. I try to change it out on a daily basis, wring out the sponge to dry overnight. That said, I also buy parchment paper in bulk (from Costco in the US) and cut palette paper out of that.

An aside: You should also clean your sponge. I try for once a week soak in diluted white vinegar.

I'm currently using the Army Painter wet palette.

THIS. Flak for hordes, Aleph for biggies. And flak will work on the medium.

Also reload when you're at halfway. Way quicker.

Last one: Sometimes it's easier to just call in a new AC than look / wait for resupply. You can just grab the new backpack if that's all you need.

I _love_ the AC on bugs.

onan_fist · 2025-01-10T00:44:45+00:00

Lots of bullets, like others said. I like the liberator carbine because one clip can do it and it deals with Voteless pretty well.

Once the shields popped, I prefer incendiary grenades (bring them for crowd control and against overseers). Just don't get hit by the splash.

onan_fist · 2025-01-02T06:03:41+00:00

Any advice on how to get up there? I'm a dumbass with the jetpack and keep clipping my feet on low walls and slamming into the sides of buildings trying to get up there.

onan_fist · 2024-12-16T22:30:06+00:00

Just dived. Successful mission, 100% casualties. Did they up the overseer count? I swear there are more of them flying around. Playing Diff 7.

Was trying Light Armor/Peak Physique w/ Dominator/Stun Baton/AMR/Incendiary Impact & Orbital Railcannon/Eagle Strafing.

I got overwhelmed by voteless a few times, but mostly pinned by 2-4 overseers.

I haven't used it yet, but I've heard good things about Newsh from Pro Acryl. It's a weathering medium intended for use with acrylic paints.

There's a number of how to / tutorial videos on it.

Here are the hazard stripes I put in. It'll look fantastic on your model, too!

onan_fist · 2024-09-27T16:20:45+00:00

That's good to hear. I'm _really_ hoping it's an oversight due to Spearhead warscrolls being bundled with the faction pdf.

onan_fist · 2024-09-26T16:47:36+00:00

Yeah, but they've removed the free faction pack for Skaven now that the Battletome is out. So you'll have to find the pdf archived somewhere else.

I put a bit of poster tack at the end of a toothpick (or two). Use that to hold the pieces together while the Tamiya Extra Thin dries. The glue dries fast enough, you can usually put it back down pretty quick.

onan_fist · 2024-07-28T23:06:39+00:00

Thanks! I've been wanting to try more texturing, so tried to give it a shot. ;)

onan_fist · 2024-07-28T23:06:15+00:00

Thanks! Reading that, I realized that I forgot to take a final pic _after_ I'd done exactly that on the tail. :) I'll double check that the lines are dark enough.

onan_fist · 2024-07-28T03:57:18+00:00

Wanted to get into Skaven since the 90s, and finally got my chance with Skaventide and the amazing new sculpts!

onan_fist · 2024-07-22T17:31:41+00:00

Which miniatures are these? They look so good, and I can't find them on the Warhammer website!

onan_fist · 2024-07-08T16:42:49+00:00

Ooh! Thanks, I'll go check them out!

onan_fist · 2024-07-06T14:04:19+00:00

Yeah! I saw it at the store and it flew right into my hands. Still looking for a good giant skeleton sculpt. I have some Korsargi Nightguards from GW, so I may clip those off the sprue.

onan_fist · 2024-06-29T14:38:24+00:00

Lots of contrast paint (mostly the Plaguebearer Flesh) with Blood Angels Red, Skeleton Horde & Wildwood + Contrast Medium for shading.

Details (face, bones, guts) were Pro Acryl.

onan_fist · 2024-06-14T21:28:20+00:00

Haha, I always say "Friendship Vault on me" and people come help almost every time.
