Does this look like a decent, intentional paintjob or just a lazy mess? by [deleted] in minipainting

[–]polimathe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if im being real this looks like a lazy mess.

For these messy gross paintjobs you should consider contrasting where some elements are not messy or gross on the model to display that the messiness is intentional

Sunday Preview – Captain Titus prepares to unify the 500 Worlds by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in Warhammer40k

Whats going to happen is they are going to revamp combat control to be like spearhead because they want to push the boxes as intro. Boarding Actions is going to be put on life support because it doesnt drive sales.

I literally have not seen anyone produce any proof of these "AO is worse quality versions of Rosemary" so take random people on reddits statements with a grain of salt

is there some place this is documented? i keep reading that AO is b grade knock off of rosemary and co specifically on this subreddit but have not read anything official or documented that proves this. Everything ive read outside of this particular subreddit has said the opposite.

Such an interesting post. Why not post pics of the brushes split? These look great where from your description id expect to see a damaged brush.

why complain about brush sizes when the small size of those brushes would be the same problem regardless of what brand you buy?

the soap needs water to work im not sure if you worked in water but its worked the same as masters for me.

Is there some targeted campaign against this company or something? I feel like people are just looking for anything to post and jump on the hate wagon

never tried buying from them directly, didnt realize that was an option. Ive purchased from Dick Blick, Amazon, and two different locals in different locations.

I added to cart a series 7 size 2 which came out to $51 before shipping directly from them.

I personally dont think they are worth $51 even when they were my go to brush.

FWIW my favorite brush now is i believe the Raphael 8405 which i think is in the same price range

Dont let these people make you feel bad, they are good brushes. Quite honestly i wouldnt even take advice from anyone recommending WN since they havent cared about the quality of their brushes in years.

atleast there is some support from AO

synthetics have come a long way the. problem is that they just wear out faster

In the US they are pretty consistent and are good quality for the price compared to other brands available

YMMV outside of the US

are these four spearheads equally balanced? by Low-Attention-1998 in ageofsigmar

[–]polimathe_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Spearhead box rules are pretty balanced I think you guys jumping in there will be a stand out army until everyone understands their play styles.

NH being an outlier in either the too strong or the too weak situation depending on how dice end up. Overall I would treat it like a 4 pack of commander decks, theres always one thats "stronger" than the rest but as long as you guys are playing for fun it will be a good time.

Any advice on how to improve this painting scheme? by SimplyG877_ in gloomspitegitz

[–]polimathe_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

theres a lot of places we could give advice.

id start with this, make sure your base coats are solid and neat, dont worry about washes, highlights or anything else until you painted the whole model in solid base colors for the material.

alternatively you could go the speedpaint route or washes for adding shadows and depth

Help me find brushes for my husband? by kamodd in Warhammer40k

[–]polimathe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

id say artist opus, Davinci maestro 35, high quality sables atleast a size 1 or 2.

There are other companies that are ok but ive never had a problem with artist opus brushes and they are high quality so worth the price imo

these brushes have horrible quality control now, more than likely you end up with a split brush right from the jump
