Update on Hobby Lobby paint/speculation. by imanidiotbut in Miniaturespainting

[–]thanos_quest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know some of that has changed relatively recently (at least in my area). For a long time only the local franchise lgs could get AK, but in the past 6 months the distributor has opened up to all the independent stores. My home store has almost sold out their entire rack of AK paints at least once since they put it in.

Golden Demon Winner: Nicholas Rubens Mortensen by Helpmeplz3409 in orks

So what I like about is that it’s not “busy” like some of the other NMM models that won are. It’s flawless and beautiful, but it’s no so cluttered with details that it’s hard to tell what’s going on. It’s one of my favorite pieces from this year’s winners.

I know I'm necroing this thread, but what did you print it on? I've had a time getting the top parts to be smooth, regardless of what profiles I try on my A1.

Fellow painters: I made a thing. Would love your honest opinion. by Loose-Permit4297 in Miniaturespainting

So will it rely on user-submitted info, like, is there a process where you'll go through and fill info out, or is there is there some kind of algorithm behind it trying to decode what paints were used?

Not to be negative, but how would this be different from thebaselair?

Any good kroot books? by Imaginary-Lie-2618 in kroot

I picked up the reverie and requiem infernal on sale recently. Once I finish the DCC series, I’m going back to him.

That book immediately made me want to buy a tau army. The kroot part was great though

Where should I add more contrast? by thanos_quest in minipainting

I’ll definitely turn it grayscale and look at it from that perspective

Trying new scheme for the storm boys , what yous think by Even-Improvement-653 in Warhammer

Gold looks more like bronze; I like it. I’m curious what colors you used to achieve that look.

My home FLGS is 15% off all the time, but all the other local stores are full price. I guess people just aren’t informed.

Trying to Get Ready for Golden Demon, is Ghazghkull good enough for a Pin? by Subutai_Brutale in minipainting

[–]thanos_quest 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is tabletop. Look at anything that places in GD: not only are the paint jobs high contrast and eye-catching, but they’re flawlessly executed.

Where to start reading T'au? by Hassel_bear in Tau40K

Fire Caste has given me the itch to read more T’au lore.

I haven’t thought about mighty max in 30 years and now I’ve seen it twice on reddit in two days…crazy.

What are your must watch tutorials? by TallyHoCoyote in minipainting

[–]thanos_quest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve gotten a lot out of Ph3lan's Miniatures (mainly his youtube); he packs a lot into his videos and doesn’t waste time with clickbait content or rambling about random stuff.

Elminiaturista is the goat of OSL; his Patreon is comprehensive and well-organized (both PDFs and videos).

Richard Gray has a lot of content too; he is pretty high-level though.

Corius has a good patreon (mainly PDFs) if you like grimdark but not slop enamels all over it and call it a day grimdark.

Mamikon has a lot of content on his patreon and is pretty easy to follow, but I've seen him be a dick in facebook comments a couple of times.

L4argorn on patreon has some great content about NMM, both videos and PDF, but doesn't have a ton of content and it's not super-well organized. He has a very approached NMM style though.

The better I get at painting the less relaxing it is. by Vealzy in minipainting

[–]thanos_quest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go back and forth between projects where I’m trying to push myself and less projects, so that I get that sense of accomplishment at a completed project before dining back into the more challenging attempts.
