I havent sealed any of mine, but then they dont really leave the cabinet. If you want to stick the powders down without distorting them, hairspray works. You need the stuff that goes on dry though, and be very light about it.

moths posted:Any recommendations on achieving the purpleish skin tone you see on stuff like this (tumbnailed, maybe NWS) Kings of War figure? You need a grey with purple mixed in. Purple + white is the wrong saturation so won't look close at all. GWs Slaanesh grey is what you want.

Skarsnik posted:Blood Angels Librarian incoming: I like this, although I think you could push yourself on the edge highlights a little bit more. Some of them arent as neat and crisp as they should be.

Its a very nice paint job but I think theres some areas you can really push yourself and really take it up a level.

Thats harsh. Hitler couldn't paint at all! Skarsnik is a good painter already!

Karnegal posted:Does anyone have a good technique for making dead logs or branches to bases? Ideally something other than sculpting from scratch with green stuff. Go to a place where trees are. Pick up fallen twigs.

Take a shovel! But seriously it is the best way of getting good looking logs without having to sculpt them.

The phrase 'pop' really gets on my nerves. And yes, cannons, even parade ready, would be dull and scored because they'd still be used and would be stored outside in all weather conditions.

Monster w21 Faces posted:Sorry for posting more of the same buy I did three more bodies. I would have done the other 11 but clean up of plastics is booooring. Thats ace. I might suggest you throw a few tiny silver 'nicks' onto the wide hip plates to just break up the big wedge of dark armour. Not too many, one or two per side, just thin bright highlights in the same colour as the edges.

Try doing the warpaint over the nicks. Will make it look even better.

Monster w21 Faces posted:Might try taking a scalpel to them then, maybe hit them up with some pencil graphite. Avoid the scalpel, that way lies madness. Just a quick flick with a fine detail and a bright silver will do. Or a pencil. Bulbasaur is the man to talk to about that stuff.

The issue is hes a monopose starter box set model from 5 years ago against some of the best marine models GW have ever done. Theres not really much you can do to him at that point.

Who Dat posted:I'm completely new here. I picked up a Dark Vengeance box last year but never dove in from sheer intimidation. I'm psyching myself to finally put to use all the paints, brushes, clippers, etc I bought to good use. Should I start with the bigger models in the box? Or is there something less complicated/detailed I should learning on? I've literally never painted anything ever before so The cultists are majorly single pose models which are really easy to put together too.

What range are you using for the 28mm stuff? I havent found models I've liked for that period in that scale yet.

BeigeJacket posted:Perry Brothers. I do plan on getting some of the Victrix highlanders (probably at Salute). Theres always something I dislike about the models. Either the poses, the faces or just the general lack of detail on them. I'm not looking at painting up hundreds of the things so its more about the individual models to me. The Perry stuff does look good mind.

stabbington posted:This is basically 90% done, still needs tartan on the tabard/loincloth thingy and some various bits of detail tweaking, but I wanted to post pictures because of how proud I am of the leather on the coat. I basically painted it looking "new" and then went in with a lot of layers of glazes, stippling, and scratches to simulate weathering. Very happy with how it turned out, though I think the highlights could use a tiny bit more work, they're a little flat right now. Thats some real nice leather. If you don't mind me being super critical, theres bits of obvious banding where maybe you didn't break up the wash lines with stippling enough. You can see it most clearly in the picture furthest to the left. But apart from that I really like it.
