>>96491381These Mortifactors are almost done. I still need to do the decals, some freehand and minor details.
Gave it a shot. Alot of clean up but thats tomorrow's problem.
>>96491249Not confused, just interested in the list itself.
Trying to level up my leather kilts
anyone have a link for the most recent version of stahly's color swatches?
>>96492181I'm not 100% sure if it's the newest one but here you gofiles (dot) catbox (dot) moe/s13y93 (dot) pdf
>>96492189Ty anon! Got the pdf for contrasts as well by any chance?
>>96492251I have this one. I think it's an older version, it doesn't have the new AK range.>files (dot) catbox (dot) moe/h8t2tp (dot) pdf
>>96492269wonderful, tysm
>>96491627I like the lenses but it looks a bit odd that they're the same colour as the shoulder trim.
>>96492181>stahlyIs that retard still in a mask ? lol>see’s PDFYep, lmaoImagine specifically asking for some mindless retard’s “swatches”. I can’t even, lol.A simple search pulls this up immediately:https://minipainters.com/paint-comparison>ftfyNow you don’t have to look at that narcissist faggot in a mask lol.
>>96492366trying too hard
>>96492366someone's mad
>>96492336They're not exactly the same as far as I can tell. Looks nice to me>>96492366Paint comparisons without photos of the actual paint in use are inaccurate and useless
>>96492471>They're not exactly the same as far as I can tell.the trim, grenades, wires, lenses and osl on the mine are so similar in hue that it spoils any illusion that those objects might be different materials.
>>96492366You already posted the same retarded bait before.
>>96492366>'manufacturer provided alternative'>rgb color comparisonstahly is a faggot but you are retarded
Finished this guy today.
>>96492783Stahly might be a faggot, but his swatches are imo the only good color comparison tool out there.
>>96492789His armour could do with a bit of contrast. Some darker tones. At the moment his skin and armour are the same colour.
>>96492804that's my pointhe is a faggot for obvious reasons and for paywalling it when he gets all the paints for free
Has anyone here used vallejo GC bloody red vs 2 thins coats demon red vs mephiston red? How do they compare?
>>96492822Yeah I thought so too, my phone overlighted some parts of the model though. Going to add some shades to the armor later.
>>96488521My.... 1980's Citadel paints are mostly still liquid. Says something about the hard plastic pots....
Posted this knight a while back. I did it with a chrome marker/black ink pinwash technique that I am developing and refining. Got a heavily armored landsknecht that I'm about to begin painting and I'm going to use that technique for his armor. Takes a couple days with a fair bit of downtime between some steps. The technique absolutely lends itself to batchwork, however. So if you are cool with waiting between some steps you can still get a lot of minis done at once. I did a rough overview of it over on /awg/ a while back. I'll take pictures as I go and drop the tutorial for it all at once when it's done. It's actually very easy to do, a beginner could even do it. Of course there are other things to keep in mind with the technique. You won't want Joe with the greasy hands pawing all over it smudging it just to see if it will smudge. But there are certain ways to mitigate wear and tear and I'll go over all that as well in the tutorial.
>>96492874I find my phone camera always washes out colors for some reason. It will have heavy contrast irl but I take a picture and it just disappears.
Pic of the mini for anyone who may be curious
>>96493344Looking forward to it, friend.
>>96493344>a chrome marker/black ink pinwash technique that I am developing and refiningAnon there's no need for overly fancy terminology. You painted it in metallic and gave it a wash.
got a few questions if anyone dosnt mind answering1: is it normal to use a magnifying glass/tool for painting minis? 2: anyone have any tips for doing highlingting? watched a few vids but i am not really getting it
>>96493556>1: is it normal to use a magnifying glass/tool for painting minis? Yes, either desk mounted with a light or a headband/glasses.>2: anyone have any tips for doing highlingting? watched a few vids but i am not really getting itShow an example of your work first but probably you have too much paint on your brush because you didn't wipe the excess away (don't fucking scrape it across the paper you just have to get rid of a bit of paint)
>>96493577this boy i finished yesterday, red area is main point i am unsure about on the belt and sash
>>964935561. I never felt a need to even for tiny stuff like eyes but I see no harm in getting them if you feel like it'll help you out.2. I assume you're this anon >>96489790, I wanted to reply to you yesterday but I kinda forgot lol, my bad Anyway, it depends on what you want to do. >If you just want to do GW/eavy metal you just edge highlight every possible edge. For that you need a pretty runny paint, think slightly thinner than what you use for basecoating. Afterwards you make sure to not have too much paint on your brush and either skim the side of your brush on the edges you can catch and use the tip for places that you can't reach with the side. >If you want to do more natural highlights you need to keep light in mind. A good way to figure this out in the beginning is to put your mini under your desk lamp with light coming from the angle you want to paint and use that as reference. You can even take a picture and crank up the contrast in an editor to make it easier to read. To sell the highlights done this way it's best to blend them at least a bit so they don't look like just different colors stacked on top one another. Blending is a whole different skill to learn but I think layering is the most straightforward one. Basically you just slowly mix in your highlight color to the midtone and paint "layers" of that towards the brightest point covering a smaller area each time.I can't recommend Duncan enough for a beginner. He explains and shows everything really well. His painting is pretty simple all things considered, it's always basecoat-wash-edge highlight but it looks solid and that's what I'd try to learn first as a beginner.
>>96493638am same anon indeed. as im pretty new to painting with any medium. id like to just get what looks generally nice.
>>96492831Demon red is more comparable to evil sunz scarlet than mephiston red. It's decisively brighter than mephiston, and slightly more saturated and orangey than GW reds.I haven't tried bloody red, but I have vermilion and dark vermilion from vallejo, they are quite good and also moderately more vibrant than GWs.
>tfw feel like my eyesight has deteriorated significantly over the past couple months>text blurred even when wearing my prescription glasses>means I've reached the limit of my painting ability because I won't even be able to see miniatures properly soon
>>96493586Your paint you used for highlights was more like a basecoating consistency when you want it to be thinner for the purposes of layering. Easy edge highlighting is a case of getting the correct consistency + quantity of paint on the brush, then using the side of the brush to do most of the work for you, but that wouldn't apply to the case on the flat sections of cloth hanging down. Expect to go back and fix mistakes (i.e. if you highlight the belt you will get more red on the skin, it can't be helped)>>96493638 is right, you should watch Duncan's stuff. His blood angel bladeguard veteran tutorial taught me how to paint.
>>96493704Go get some new glasses, perscriptions change and it isn't unusual
>>96493669Then definitely give Duncan a watch. You can improve from there later and his process will give you very respectable-looking minis once you can get it fairly clean.
