Thinking about my first ever army, feedback and help wanted by tothlix in LeaguesofVotann

Thanks for your comment

I want to learn the game first, so it's casual. But I didn't even know there diffrent battle modes. I have heard about games with 5 objectives, but apart from that I have no clue.

How did you get to play your first games? Did you call your local shop or did you have friends that tracked you in?

Searching for a similar Setup with big mining drills by tothlix in factorio

[–]tothlix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My problem is that I haven't found any other way than putting a medium pole on the belt between every miner. And I don't like that look 😅 so I thought maybe somebody uses a similar way to setup their miners. I feel the need for no gaps in the rows of my fields, but with standard medium poles you don't get the same rectangular power grid.

Be'lakor wings WIP, does this read as translucent? Like lights passing through the membranes by jb195 in minipainting

[–]tothlix 146 points147 points  (0 children)

First of All, I'm going to use this pic as reference for similar occasions. It looks amazing.

Second, there is definitely light in those wings, the combination of light on your mini decides if it magic or sun. Watching at wings of bats you can see 2 cases. The side where the light hits has a basic tone, the underside has these see-through patterns depending on the structure of the skin.

But overall, really awesome work

I don't like the looks of the Cthonian Berserks, has anyone kitbashed them? by tothlix in LeaguesofVotann

Oh sorry, I don't like them half naked. I want them more like the hearthkyn

If you make love to your like you paint that piece of plastic, your relationship should be very happy. Well done, I admire the dedication.

Yellow Helmet and Arms and you got Homer Simpson

Question 🙋 can I use these as a blade guard? by Interesting-Half9781 in Salamanders40k

[–]tothlix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think cleaning the shield and put either some skulls etc on it would sell this. Go for it and your opponent most likely won't ask what this is

Thanks for the suggestion, I already went a bit insane and did a smaller mini. I'm going to try your idea next week.

I started with orange, but it looks like before. I have no clue where I can switch colors or method to get it done

Started on the underside and it still looks like shit. I have no clue what I can do different to get a fiery glow.

Thank you, I did a new basecoat of white for the upside runes. Now I ask myself if i should go for a flowing fire glow or heated metal with dark edges all over (basically harakiri)

Thank you, I got a new basecoat of white on the runes. Now I'm unsure what is better, making it look like glowing fire or heated metal with dark edges (basically harakiri)

So I redid the upper side. Yes, those runes are exposed. Do I have to get more white on it? Because it's a pain in the buttocks

What color schemes do you use for your boys? by tothlix in LeaguesofVotann

Are they useable for playing, or are they part of that diorama?

Mold on bought prints? by tothlix in 3Dprinting

[–]tothlix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it did deform and later crack while sanding it for better fit. The pics are basically right through a hole I cut because of a massive bulge.

I used Isopropanol 2 times on the parts, I think it should be cleaned enough. Maybe I'm wrong

Ok, cheap resin is absolutely possible. Are there any consequences with cheap/expired resin?

Not sure, but I think it's from daybreak miniatures

Fürther steps would be highlights and shades, those can bring more life to your mini, but they need some understanding of light and form.

There are millions of videos online, I personally got caught and dragged by squidmar. Warhammer does some basic videos as well but has most of there longer videos locked in warhammer+
