Some of my Iron Warriors. The rest are still in the Daemonculaba, so to speak. View attachment 6816787
The stripes are fun when you get them right, but a pain in the ass to correct if you fuck up. Masking tape is your friend.

Casandora yellow on a beige tan base makes for a better hazard stipe experience. Cleaning up tan stripes is less of a headache than trying to police up yellow, at least that's how I did my Iron Warriors.

I use Chaos Black primer, but then paint a titanium white or gray base over the portions that'll be yellow. I use Averland Sunset.

When I first read you use chaos black I genuinely thought you were going to follow up with typing you painted yellow immediately over it. Don't ever scare us like that again.

Assembled canis Rex legs. Gotta find some magnets now...

I finally got tired of getting the best magnets $0.01 worth of shitty Chinese iron can provide off Amazon and went with the good shit for my latest purchases. It's like night and day. Yeah, expensive, but, they actually work. I still use the cheap ones in the bases (and some of them are only technically magnetic) while the ones from the Baron are significantly tougher.

Painting women is easy.
Painting attractive women is far harder.

How the fuck does that make sense? Is painting Fulgrim hard because he's attractive?

Women's faces are softer and rounder than men's, and I'd go easy on the wash too, maybe use a lighter kind.

How does the angularity of a mostly flat surface make it harder to paint?

You are clinically autistic. Seriously, go see a therapist and I don't mean the rapist.

Tangential to the thread, but, Gundam, the Japanese autistic mecha-turned-model kit franchise is putting out a tabletop game. Looks like a cross between Kill Team and Battletech.

I don't follow the franchise but their fanbase is far more autistic than even 40k nerds, to the point that a lot of the really advanced tricks I've seen the Golden Daemon guys use are just tricks they got from average Gundam Modelers. I wonder if this will be enough to threaten GW's hegemony?

Yes, painting Fulgrim is harder because he's meant to look attractive. Is that really controversial?

Yes, painting women is harder than men because it requires different techniques (soft shading / wet blending) whereas sharper features are accepted on male features. No one's going to care if your marine has a sharp jawline, your sister of battle is going to look like a tranny if you don't get that right.

There's a reason helmet chads keep winning and it's because holy fuck, fuck painting faces.

Nice. Magnet baron is a good turn key solution but n52 magnets are dirt cheap from China too and the 3d printed parts are much cheaper to diy or print.

I like their kits though that's a smart idea

You obviously have the technique down, but for the less confident or less experienced, nail art tape is a cheat code. Available for hardly anything on Amazon, peels off without disturbing what's underneath (note: get the tape for art rather than the leave on kind, the art tape is designed to peel off and leave the nail polish underneath unmarked), comes in a variety of tiny widths from tiny to very very tiny. Also very handy for stripes on vehicles too.

Every article I've read mentions this being a 40K competitor when it really competes with thing like battle tech and other smaller skirmish games. Availability will be the biggest factor in how successful the game is especially when you consider the Gundam card game has its world wide release on the 25th of this month. Don't screw up distribution and bandaid will be onto a real winner with this.
I am curious on the price when you compare how much gunpla kits cost and the insane value / detail and articulation that even the most basic kit has.

They compare it to 40k because normie-nerds/ non wargamers don't know that wargaming let alone the term wargaming exist) is a full genre of TT games, And they think every miniature game is a "Warhammer type" game, as well as thinking WH40k , WHAOS/ WHF , are the same exact same thing.
