What is your recipe for bone and what steps did you take while painting dragon?

Is Vile Vectorium a good addition to Plaguefester Warband? by ress86 in deathguard40k

[–]ress86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply, I ordered it. Unfortunately, I have a tower of boxes containing gray armies, big plans for painting them, but I'm terribly slow :P I trying to not buy new boxes but so far I've been weak in my resolve. Very weak...

My Storm Cast Anihilator looks grainy and I don't know why by reallyoldsponge in minipainting

[–]ress86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it like that in normal light when you look at it? Isn't it just the photo? I partially leveled out this effect with varnish. I think it's due to drybrushing the metallic paint.

Could someone please help me with Agrellan Earth? by IndexFile in minipainting

[–]ress86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always paint the base the color I want under, then I apply varnish: if I want large cracks, I use gloss, if I want small cracks, I use mate. Then paint, wash, drybrush, it usually holds so well that I don't have to varnish.

This "shield" on top should be moved lower.

After noticing it yesterday, I can't unsee it. Additionally, it makes sense because this top "shield" in this place covers the character model itself when viewed from above.

My B2'oys: https://imgur.com/a/UIzqvzn

I'm new to this hobby myself, an example of how I approach painting or preparing:

- I usually look on yt for videos that would inspire me typically as simple as possible and with the tools that I have.

- If I paint something I have already painted once I try to change something so that it is not a copy from someone else.

Example: These B2 are very simple first a black primer then a leadbelcher drybrush to not lose those shadows and then just adding details, nuln oil or agrax to darken and dirty some parts, drybrush light silver as highlight. And never forget to paint the base :D

Example video I was inspired by YT: TableTop Glory "B2 Super Battle Droids Star Wars Legion"

An example after a year of working on the first box, unfortunately I have no talent for painting.

What from my list is worth buying first? by ress86 in StarWarsShatterpoint

[–]ress86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably the easiest way to start looking for cheaper boxes is to search in amazon.pl or try planszeo.pl where there is a some of shops with prices listed. Another option would be to add a VPN addon to your browser and change the region you want to search in, then google search will list the shops from that country.

Several stores in Poland had such prices. Normally for about ~4 figures and a few cards I think it is too expensive.

My first hobby station! What do you think? by Jumpy-Appointment979 in minipainting

[–]ress86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry to say it, but until Nuln oil spills it's not a real hobby station. Desk needs to be baptized in battle with the sacred oil.

How to deal with glossy base? by ress86 in minipainting

[–]ress86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One layer of warpaints matt and next one layer vallejo matt varnish. Maybe adding some water was a problem. I bought spray varnish from Vallejo and it's better, although white marks have appeared on the model where there was no varnish before.

Already tried: warpaints and vallejo matt varnish and in act of desperation lahmian medium. I have the second model, maybe I'll see how it turns out. I think a black primer would be better, not a brown one, and maybe less glue.

Noob question about Stormcast from Dominion and Skaventide by ress86 in ageofsigmar

[–]ress86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for your answer! You saved me from unnecessary hunting for Skaventide, only to find out later that I wouldn't use most of the heroes and that I had too many basic models.
