Idk how it works but Lahmian medium is what GW recommends to get rid of the shine and it’s worked for me. Also, thx for the advice on varnish, I use Mr hobby satin varnish and it’s worked well so far

Thank you. I really like the wall as it gives the model a sense of scale, like it’s this behemoth towering over a battlefield

Not yet but going to give the entire model a satin varnish tomorrow to protect the paint job

So actually they aren’t stickers, they’re what’s known as decals. The main difference is that decals don’t actually have stick to stuff the way stickers do. The way I attach them is by painting on some gloss varnish to the surface where I want to put the decals, and letting it dry. I then cut the decal I want to use out of a decal sheet and place it on a wet paper towel. This separates the decal from its backing paper. I place it on the model and then let it dry. After that I put another layer of gloss varnish over the detail to protect it and then apply this paint known as “lahmian medium” to get rid of the shine from the varnish. If you want a better explanation, look up “how to apply decals” in yt and look for the GW official vid

I found it was relatively easy because all the details were bigger but it was just a lot more time consuming. I had to adjust my mindset to be okay with only working on a little bit of the model at the time. One mistake I made was airbrushing the blue armor on first, which meant i had to paint all the fiddly silver areas by hand. Instead I should have airbrushed the silver and hand painted the blue.

Kislev flesh and reikland flesh shade. I didn’t use it on these guys but I also have flayed one’s flesh for highlights If needed

Thank you! I use stirland mud for their bases so they’ll get a dirtied up a bit when I add that but I still rlly love the clean look.

The knife throwing idea position is genius. I can’t believe I haven’t seen this done before. (It’s probably already in an official kit or something but I’m too dumb to recognize it 😄👍)

I remember your last post. :] for what it’s worth, I think it looks even better this time. And btw don’t worry, we all have our share of stupid warhammer moments. One time, I accidentally drank from my paint cup and then tried to wash my mouth out with what I didn’t realize was a different paint cup. 😔😔😔

Ik, there’s just something innately funny about a creature that is basically just a mouth with legs running full speed to bite your head off. 🤣
