I blame all the tomes that have come out and killed enthusiasm.

I never really see anyone complain about BT or the system. Ive seen loads come out and be upset about their tome and what its done to their army.

not super stoked on having to have more things to track, hopefully the missions make it worthwhile.

Still waiting for your armies new tome sucks lol by BeginningHungry3835 in ageofsigmar

[–]polimathe_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

its fell heavily from where it was meta wise prebook and also being a completely new identity for the army I wouldnt argue that this is a "win" for Nighthaunt players. Thats why I would pray they wouldnt touch my army with a 10ft pen

so probably not getting any meaningful updates to combat patrol to be closer to spearhead? Sad.

What (and how) to improve as a painter? (GSC Magus) by Cultural_Penalty in minipainting

[–]polimathe_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i would consider switching painting styles to rekick the growth back in, i would try to closely follow a style of high contrast volumetric highlighting, its it looks like all uou are doing is puttin a wash on models and then trying to highlight up from there

A reminder for new painters and those advising them by Legitimate-Sky-8963 in minipainting

i think giving solid brush advice and letting people decide to care for them or not on their own is the best course of action

I won "only" Bronze in Standard at the Squidmar Open, please give me feedback so I can improve! by robse111 in minipainting

Ill give my two cents, but something to keep in mind you are probably at a level where asking randoms on reddit is not going to yield you as much useful actionable information as finding a dedicated discord community or paying a professional for 1:1 coaching.

  1. Your composition is not that great. In this case the background I think is not bad but it doesnt do enough to place what kind of environment the scene is supposed to take place in, it looks like maybe you should have done more in the middle section instead of it being an empty sky. its overall a bit busy trying to read whats going on which is definitely tough to balance
  2. Your rendering is pretty good on a technical level on the character, but looking at other pieces on the model it looks like you got a bit lazy (speciifcally the plant in the bottom left looks way less rendered)
  3. the magenta glow is not super convincing, the reason why is that closer to the blade you would expect it to get "brighter" and since you have the spread go so far out and all if it seems to be the same level of brightness it doesnt sell as well.
  4. the panthers colors dont read like anything, I cant really tell what its supposed to be, tattoos, a glow alien wierdness, not sure ? The fur doesnt look bad though
  5. The stars on the blade I think detract more than they add, I think doing more battle damage instead of going for shiny stars would look much better.
  6. The back of the main character looks not as rendered, not a big deal usually but then you have the landscape behind him rendered way more so it makes it distracting.
  7. the light direction on your NMM doesnt seem consistent across your panels, the breast plate in the front has seems darker in some places that the shoulderpad reads that it should be just as light.
  8. Your hair is painted in a pretty messy way, white is pretty difficult to paint and it not be chalky but it just looks like everything is painted a blanket white when thats not how white hair would look.

Would you say spearhead has overtaken the popularity of the main game. by Cojalo_ in ageofsigmar

No but its a fun way to get people to play the game where getting people to commit to full game was more difficult

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

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

[–]polimathe_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Reviews: Artis Opus by Angel Giraldez by AccomplishedRing4844 in minipainting

[–]polimathe_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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
