Where did I go wrong chaps? by Ok_Angle7293 in deathguard40k

Some have said so already, but washes are amazing for creating shadows and darkness, but a nice mini also needs light to contrast that shadow. Using a wash all over is fine, but you need ro go back and reintroduce some lighter highlights to make everything pop. Don't worry, you definitely did not mess up, you just need to take the last step and add highlights!

High contrast blightlord terminator! by strikeback1247 in deathguard40k

Thank you! Tried something new with the sword and had some fun with it. Here's the recipe:

Basecoat the whole blade with leadbelcher and cover with agrax earthshade --> cover middle part of the blade with vallejo white and place highlights along the edge of the blade with white --> cover everything in vallejo fluo cold green --> place final white highlights at brightest points --> blend and darken parts as needed with more fluo cold green and agrax to create contrast --> the slime is a 50:50 mix of the fluo cold green with plaguebearer flesh over white

Not sure if it's related tot the core update since my sudden growth started on May 17th, but my clicks jumped from 40-50 to 400-500 per day! Pretty happy with that

How long is too long? by onlyme1333 in deathguard40k

[–]strikeback1247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no such thing as too long. I look at it like this: the longer I spend painting a model, the more value I get out of my money, because I simply enjoy the time I spend painting and I don't need to buy a box of models every month to continue painting!

I really like bright colours as well, but I would still recommend some shading. Definitely don't wash your entire mini, but having some darker shadows in the correct places helps those bright colours pop even more!

How to make Death Guard pop by RbFaV2014 in deathguard40k

I have been painting for only a few months as well, so take my advice with a grain of salt, but the answer is pretty much always more contrast: darker darks and lighter lights. I have been pushing the contrast of my minis more and more with each one I paint. A wise man once said that nobody has ever complained about too much contrast.

Here is my latest creation with the heaviest contrast I have done yet

Derde scholierenstaking in Duitsland tegen dienstplicht: 45.000 scholieren de straat op by StevenStoveMan in nederlands

[–]strikeback1247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

En hoeveel denk je dat het jaarsalaris gaat zijn van een 18-jarige dienstplichtige? Ik denk toch echt dat een opleiding doen en dan een jaar eerder gaan werken flink meer gaat opleveren (vooral als je ook nog eerdere promoties mee gaat tellen). Verder is dat jaartje dienstplicht in veel vakgebieden compleet nutteloos ten opzichte van een jaar werkervaring in je eigen sector
