I have never been. I'm fairly new to Lincoln as it is

I work at The Game Shoppe that crime fighting hog is talking about. If you get the chance, come in on Tuesday/Thursday nights or before 4 on Saturday and I can give you a decent intro to the place.

PS people in Lincoln suck at 40k compared to dudes that game in Omaha :clint:

So should I add a wash to the sand or should I actually paint and/or drybrush it? I'mg going to try a test base either way. I'd like to try and keep the same color, though if it comes out nicely I may redo all the finished bases with the updated basing.

I would paint it a (light) base color, drybrush it, then apply a wash, and if necessary drybrush it again. It doesn't take much time at all and makes the base fit in with the mini a lot better.

Do five or ten at a time, not 50. Also, I tend to alternate between squads, so right now I'm half done with my Sea Guard for WHFB and just starting on a squad of White Lions.

This is usually what I do when I have bigger squads to work with. Sometimes with my marines though (especially terminators or sternguard or something) I tend to work on one model at a time, as they're much more individual, and then I can feel like I've accomplished something every couple of hours instead of at the very end of the squad.

EDIT: Some guy on Dakka or B&C did the math on the Spear, it wasn't more expensive than buying the units individually, just the exact same price. You literally didn't save one cent buying that damned thing. At least the Battle Company was cheap enough that it worked out to like 6 free Rhinos or something.

I did the same thing for that Deathwing box they came out with. You saved exactly zero dollars.

What's a good color to highlight black with? I was thinking somebody had said something about a vallejo color that works well (really dark grey) but I can't remember. I was thinking about just mixing chaos black + a small amount of adeptus battlegrey but if I can do it without having to mix paints I'd rather not (I am lazy hams).

Thanks for the help guys. Right now I'm thinking VMC Black Grey for initial highlights and then P3 Greatcoat grey for a second highlight. Coal black is a cool color and I might try it out, but it looks a little too teal.

So is he coming out of a portal? Is that what's going on?

If so I think you should paint the legs/back completely black, and only color the parts that have emerged from the portal. That would probably look cool.

If it's not a portal then I have no idea what's going on.

It looks like his upper body is emerging from an open Venus flytrap type maw.

I thought Ultramarines were the most pimp of space marine chapters? Well that's my reasoning behind it anyway, my plan was to have gold as one of the main colours. It will be on the top of the wings and around the band in the middle of the engines etc.

Usually it's because you're seeing Ultramarines 2nd company. The 2nd company trim for codex chapters is typically gold or yellow.

What is the trick to keeping metallics from looking gritty or patchy? I hate using them because it looks like poo poo compared to how smooth the regular colors are, but I also hate how NMM looks so I am kind of screwed.

Should I not be thinning metallics down, or should I be thinning them a whole lot more, or is that just how metallics look? Ink washes make them look a bit better, but it is still ugly.

Personally I don't thin my metallics quite as much as my regular paints, but they do need to be thinned at least some. Also, are you using GW metallics?

e: for speeeling

Yeah, using GW metallics and a mix of Vallejo Game Color and GW for the regular colors because I have heard that GW does metallics better than anyone else. I am slowly phasing out GW paints for Vallejo because the coverage is much better and thinning takes less guesswork, but I am keeping the metallics and inks GW unless there is a better option.

I am using primarily Boltgun Metal, Mithril Silver, and Tin Bitz at the moment, not sure if those are "crappy" metallics or not.

Nah, those're the ones I use pretty often. Though I stopped using Tin Bitz and started washing the poo poo out of Dwarf Bronze. But yeah I try not to water them down quite as much as my regular GW paints. In general since I always end up slathering them with washes I don't pay too much attention to how I throw metallics down on the basecoat aside from not getting it on other paints.

Ok, so I'm about to seal/varnish my first ever mini. Should I seal the figure by itself and then just glue it in the base, or should I seal it with the base to help keep the flocking from brushing off? Is PVA/Elmer's normally enough to keep that stuff on a base?

Doing them both at once (mini on the base) will save you the hassle of trying to glue two surfaces together that have a coat of paint on them. I've never had any issues with PVA glue letting stuff fall off the base.
