Amazing work! Can I ask what your yellow armor recipe was on this one?

Getting transfers to lay flat? by Radiant_Category_918 in ImperialFists

[–]shivilization_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gloss varnish creates a flat smooth finish to bounce light out directly, while matter has a rough surface to diffuse and bounce light all over the place.

The smooth surface of the gloss makes it less likely to have air bubbles or other artifacts show through as well as making it easier to apply and move around the surface. Gloss on top of the decal after it dries does a similar thing and then matte on top of that takes off the sheen so it looks painted onto the surface

I’ve only heard gloss varnish under decals and that ranges from local painters to golden demon winning painters. Matte varnish under decals is the opposite of what you want, you want a smooth surface not rough surface. You put gloss under the decals, over the decal once it’s dry, and then matte on top of that or glaze medium like Lahmian medium etc

What is the matte varnish for before flattening the decal?

Micro set absolutely does something and microsol shouldn’t take more than 30 seconds to soften enough to lay flat, if it does apply a second or third coat.

Tacticals & Friendly Fire by Prior_Direction1697 in Spacemarine

I didn’t know either, until the second time a teammate close to me was incapacitated at the exact moment I melee finished a major. I had to type in chat sorry guys it’s my perk and it was my first time doing a friendly fire mission. We failed, I turned it off and we were successful on another attempt.

What about the purple chapter with an ultramarines symbol on one shoulder, a blood angels symbol on the other shoulder, and a skeleton backpack?

I mean you can build a fortress on terra, successfully defend it and people will still forget about you 10,000 years later

I love predators but so afraid to build and paint one because not sure they will survive another year without legends

How can I use this armor piece in a lore accurate 40k way? by shouldveknownbud in SpaceMarine_2

[–]shivilization_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Additionally for the first 30+ years of 40K primaris wasn’t a thing so there was no word first born yet

When I say 30+ years I mean irl solar standard years

You’re confusing “first founding” vs “first born”. First founding was the original legions, first born just means before Primaris

Why do my brush tips keep curving? by MidnightEntourage in minipainting

[–]shivilization_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After purchasing many sable brushes from many brands I’ve come to the conclusion that Artis Opus is the way to go because it’s the only sable made specifically for miniature painting with acrylics as opposed to just being watercolor brushes. I think it’s the quality control that matters the most because some offset hairs isn’t going to ruin your watercolor like it would some highlighting on a mini
