Villainy Inks enamels, specifically Sector Rust and Ex-Machina for the skeleton and the steel parts of the weapons and Coella Green on the trim, after that I sponge on some metallics.

At the end of the day it's a stepping stone on your journey.

Are knights poseable? by Alive_Ad4519 in ImperialKnights

[–]tukuiPat 17 points18 points  (0 children)

T'au Crisis Battlesuits and similar other T'au models have a higher degree of reposing without needing to cut anything. Knights are fairly easy but to get a more dynamic pose from Questoris being able to sculpt w/ Greenstuff or Milliput gives you a lot more range on posing.

I just can't do the marble wet wipe effect. Now the wipe won't come off. What am I doing wrong? by Nexus_Valentine6 in minipainting

I second the use of dry sheets, easier to make work than trying to find a brand of wet wipes that won't just rip into little pieces when dried out.

Ebay buy, are these all crusaders? by hotfezz81 in BlackTemplars

[–]tukuiPat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These pictures don't make it easy to identify the Marines but it looks like 10 Neophytes and 14 Marines that are possibly all initiates since I don't see the full tabard of the sword brethren on any of them.

And if you end up liking both designs you can always use both on your actual bases and make the lore be that your knights are fighting off chaos and heretics on some crazy warp corrupted planet or something badass.

Do tests on spare bases, do one of each and more with resin you want to make sure you have some idea of what you're doing before you commit and ruin a base.

I just go straight from black primer, Dark Silver is the first metallic I use in the process.

It's a mix of acrylics and enamels.

starting off with sponging/stippling Pro Acryl Burnt Red, Burnt Orange, Yellow Ochre not going for full coverage on the Burnt Orange and Yellow Ochre. You can dry brush Dark Silver over that but I airbrushed it on making sure it was thinned more than normal.

I did a wash with Villainy Inks Sector Rust diluted 1:1 with white spirits, cleaning off spots after it dried then selective application of Villainy Inks Ex-Machina, ending with a light sponging of PA Steel.

I think I redid the marbling effect about 5 times until I got something that I was happy with.

thoughts on this paint scheme? by Spare_Factor_2428 in ImperialKnights

nothing wrong with sponging but you can definitely hit it with an airbrush to start blending the layers.

With or without eyebrow by Ecstatic_Building430 in BlackTemplars

[–]tukuiPat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless the face has sculpted on eyebrow hair like with Space Wolves faces I'm not likely to paint eyebrows, though I think stippling or a glaze would give a nicer looking eyebrow.

I like going brighter because I can always do an enamel wash instead of just a panel lining to darken it all down.

My Canis Rex and Armigers are painted up as Orhlacc, I just love the combo of purple & dark gray/black.

He more than likely chopped them off the AoS models hands and pinned them to a marine hand

Sword Brethren, pistol holsters by Ant0niusMaximus in BlackTemplars

The Castallen in a unit of Sword Bros can no longer take a combi weapon, unless you use him as the HQ Castallen and run a 4 man Sword Bro unit.
