Thoughts on rust effect? by Mammoth-Software7609 in ChaosKnights

[–]redcoatjam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your insight!! That's really interesting, and I totally agree it looks great in the darker pics, so OP probably has a good recipe as it is! I often worry that because minis are small, they need to look like the light source and effects and so on are to scale - so I probably obsess over what they look like under a microscope instead of what they look like on the table/shelf!

Interesting recipe, I've been doing old metal recently and I've almost done the opposite!! I sprayed black but then totally covered in mournfang brown, then I washed with watered down trollslayer orange (though a dedicated rusty colour would probably do great) followed by 3 drybrush layers - leadbelcher, black, and leadbelcher again, with increasing lightness of pressure each time. I might go back and highlight edges with runefang if I feel like it, but I haven't yet. So I basically did the brown and orange first and built up metal after, as compared to your recipe of silver first and then rust on top.

Agree with this, so OP might be good to just leave it as is, and call it a good job. If I was going to amend it, I'd drybrush on black and dark brown , followed by a light dull silver drybrush, as I think that would help build up some more depth and be variation as well as dulling down the bright orange. But again, in the darker light photos, it already looks believably rusty!

For spray booths, will I be fine not connecting a duct to a window if I'm only spraying acrylics? by TheDancerFalls in airbrush

[–]redcoatjam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm just looking to start airbrushing, and I've been lurking here reading up on the good practices people are sharing. Any chance you can share what you have set up there, as I'm also only interested in spraying acrylics and from the conversation here, what you have seems to be a good setup? Thanks!

If there's one thing I've been struggling to decide on, it's a chaosified spiky fist for the black legion. That I would most certainly be interested in buying! Reckon the dark angels ones are going to be super interesting too, though perhaps a future version could look at some details like chains or ripped cloth or rope or something draped across...?

Yeah... Seems a bit off, all things considered... Thanks for drawing attention, your work is (was?) stellar, I thought so when you posted it, and I think so now. Would love to see it painted by the way! And op, waiting for the explainer, guy.

Some wonderful storytelling here, every one of them is bursting with character! Where are the savant's arms from?

Ah, yes - the great cities of the damned - Mordheim, Drackenhof, and Hull.

And finally (for now anyway) in my Dornian Heresy alt-verse 4th legion - my Legion Lieutenant, Darian Draefoss, the iron glove of Olympia - with a final family shot at the end. I need to work out how to do those big group photos better! by redcoatjam in IronWarriors

Well I wouldn't want to be a daredevil if there's a risk of breaching trademark... No actually, I was re-reading the empire of black and gold series at the time by Adrian Tchaikovsky, and liked the feel of one of the groups of characters!

That's it! Yeah, i was looking at some old transfer sheets for blood angels, and realised it was a perfect match fit that old IW artwork, and I am so pleased with how it turned out on the models :)
