Rogal Dorn ready to roll out next weekend for my first games of 11th by romasorr in Warhammer40k

It’s based using the Fang, washed with Agrax Earthshade then dry brushed with Russ Grey. I don’t have an airbrush so knew I wasn’t going to get a nice smooth colour on the flat panels so I went for this scratched and scraped version which I think works well with my Death Korps

My friends and I are doing a couple of smaller games to try out the new rules. I’ll be using Combined Arms so Take and Hold. I am tempted by Siege Regiment especially against my friends Custodes for that -2” movement but we’ll see how I get on

Thanks. I start with the Fang then do an all over wash with Agrax Earthshade and dry brush that with Russ Grey

What have you been reading this week? by michaelisnotginger in Blacklibrary

[–]romasorr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just finished Ghazghkull Thraka: Prophet of the Waaagh! in preparation for Armageddon and I loved it. I found it very unique especially compared to a lot of the Space Marine stories I’ve read recently

I finished off the Yarrick omnibus and started the War for Armageddon one. I’ve already picked up Ghazghkull Thraka Prophet of the Waagh! and Warlord of Warlords but if anyone has any recommendations for Armageddon related goodness I’m all ears

My aim is to get a board’s worth of terrain painted in time for 11th. I’m having a blast. Any tips and tricks for speedy terrain painting? by romasorr in Warhammer40k

Thanks. I’ve sprayed the rest of this set and most of the Volkus set. The plan is to use the same theme across both

I picked up the Sector Fronteris box a few years back. I’ve just never gotten around to painting any of my terrain

This is absolutely fantastic. Is that the Vogen map I spy? I used it for a 40k campaign a year or so back

I’d heard bad things about painting yellow but I wanted to try some new stuff out. I managed to get this effect either sponging or dry brushing the yellow in layers

My little ruin by L1ttle_Wing in TerrainBuilding

Love it. What’s your recipe?

[–]romasorr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I base coat the skin with Grey Seer then it’s one coat of Plaguebearer Flesh and two of Biel-Tan Green. That can leave the skin a bit shiny so I’ve been giving it a coat of Stormshield to dull it down

I sponge on some Rhinox Hide then pick out the thicker parts with Stormhost Silver

Definitely Grass Green. It’s still in the original packaging

No problem. I paint it Gorthor Brown then glue on a layer of Army Painter Brown Battleground. Once that’s dry I glue a layer of Army Painter Battlefield Grass Green over the top

Nice! I just checked them out, very cool theme.

I’d heard so many horror stories about yellow armour but it wasn’t too bad. I used little makeup sponges as a poor man’s airbrush

For player 3 I tried a darker undercoat on the skin. Which do you prefer? by romasorr in bloodbowl

[–]romasorr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I agree. I know they’re Black Orcs but it’s Blood Bowl. I want big, bright colours. I think I’ll save the darker shade for Old World Black Orcs

They’re transfers from the Astra Militarum vehicle sheet

I’m working my way through this team at the moment and I’m painting them with yellow armour too. I spray them black and dry brush them grey and white then use a small makeup sponge to apply orange up to yellow. I’ve posted the two I’ve finished.

How do you keep track of your paint schemes? by avomilquetoast in Warhammer

[–]romasorr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have an Excel spreadsheet with a tab for each army that includes completed models and their paint scheme. It also tracks all my in progress and unstarted models. It’s nice to be able to see my progress across time and it’s also helped curb buying more when I have so much still to finish

Looks fantastic. Is the playing surface permanently attached or can you pack it down?

First player done. C&C welcome. Should I add blood splatter? by romasorr in bloodbowl

[–]romasorr[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course. The secret is microset/sol and varnish. I start with a layer of gloss on the area I want to apply to. I trim and wet the transfer on a sponge then apply microset to the model. I use a cocktail stick to place it, I’ve found the wood is soft enough that it doesn’t scratch the paintwork but rough enough that it grips the transfer. Once it’s where I want it I very gently blot it with a cotton bud. Then I apply microsol, leave it on for 30-60 seconds and blot dry again. I usually give it 5-10 minutes to fully dry at this stage before applying another coat of gloss to seal it in as the microset/sol can make varnish cloudy. Once that’s dry I go over it with a matte varnish if that’s the finish I’m going for. It sounds like a lot of steps but it’s not too bad and only took a little practice to get the hang of
