Painting miniatures, terrain and scenery.

[Chief]

I'm tipping it's pretty similar, can't wait to have a go but it's not like gw reinvented the wheel here

If I could spray on a base and then just do a few details it would be pretty good. Get these Warpath minis done finally.

That's apparently the idea light base and one coat of contrast plus details job done

Just better marketing / distribution

If they do a good orange, I'll probably use it. Might try and find the quickshade and give it a go first

Wasn't the Army Painter quickshade impossible to remove after curing? I remember hearing something about it.

You would be correct as it isn't acrylic

I'll probably wait for a few reviews etc to come out first.

Im a really slow painter so I'm not that bothered by the speed factor

The more pics that come out of the contrast paints the more sprue armies i can see being painted at home! the coverage looks excellent.

I'm pretty happy for contrast paints for my board game minis. So many minis... and anything quick and easy is great to help.

Never actually posted minis here - some guys from imperial assault. Jabba looks a bit drunk.

Never photographed minis before, not easy!

Just grab a big white piece of paper and slope it behind the mini

Google how to do it; it's pretty easy

I tried that, i'm still bad at it



Side note, flash photography shows up EVERYTHING you did wrong on a mini. I've gone over so much s**t on this guy since taking the photo

Finished the Ultra Marine half of my box this morning, won't win any awards but tabletop ready.

Looking forward to painting Death Guard for something different!

Anyone use or have a 3D printer for terrain etc?

Ah nice, goes alright? Terrain ends up okay?

I might have some pics in this thread.

It’s fine but detailed stuff is a bit iffy at times.

I need to learn to cut pieces up and lay them flat so the detail doesn’t sag.

Mine are the rubbish Tyranids. One day I may paint them properly.


The ridiculous marines with 2 wounds and area effect suppressing fire and cloaking and all sorts of other things while being 30% cheaper thsn Tyranids were painted by someone who takes his time and cares.

The Spartan and Amazon living statues from Reaper Bones 4, they come in a pair where one is new, the other aged and damaged

I made the marble recipe up on the fly, and it's super budget - all I did was take my very watery bottle of Vallejo White Primer, brush it onto the grey plastic, which resulted in a typically uneven finish of little bits of solid white surrounded by grades of translucent white, and then wash liberally with Agrax Earthshade. The rest is AK True Metal Copper wax based paint, and Nihilakh Oxide.

the marble looks cool. How did it feel painting the shade on a blokes wang?
