Yeah that's why I wouldn't normally bother with acrylics for that. They just don't flow as well as thinner enamels, lacquers, or even oil paint. Flow improver can only do so much as a surfactant but you're also fighting it drying as it starts to thin. Retarder can help but water based paint just isn't great for trying to rely on capillary action for lining.
So I couldn't find a Berserker or Tyranid for cheap but my friend had the trophy collection lying around the house so I used a tyranid head and some rocks outside and made this.
That's rad as hell
Daler Rowney Ink. First white, then fluoro orange on wave serpents (Yme-Loc so Dawnstone will already be sprayed on). They have so much potential for this and im just going to drown the grooves with it. Flow Improver should help it flow AND stop it drying so fast. With a brush it will just be ass to apply.
I feel that the audiobooks depends a lot on the narrator. Anything read by Jonathan Keeble is amazing.
Just remember to properly clean the rock with soap so they don't grow any mold in it.
This is also why you don't base your minis with actual dirt or sand. Unless it's Death Guard, then the smell will be lore accurate.
The rocks will probably be fine, but remember if you're using natural materials from outside to bake them first so they're properly dry and anything in them is dead.
Ah ok that makes sense. And yeah the tamiya light gray panel liner would work(it's not pure white, but it's generally close enough and still neutral) but it's a bitch to apply but then you'd still need to do the orange anyway. Makes me wonder if alcohol link would flow better for that since it's available in a bunch of colors.
Yeah, the panel liner with a little brush that comes in the same bottle as their plastic cement (glass cube) is supposedly amazing for 40k. Paint with your acrylics, maybe give it a gloss varnish ('ard coat), panel line the edges of marine armor or what have you, then clean up the tiny bit of excess panel liner with a q-tip.
This looks so fucking sick and I love the IW specific options they're giving it too. Saw some trannies on an IW discord complain there was "too much flesh" which is retarded.
Well IW, NL and AL secondaries seem to have an issue with the “CHAOS” part of Chaos Space Marines because their entire understanding is based on YouTube videos.
It even has a generic skull head to match the old one besides the IW skull, very kino. My only real concerns over it is if it's still on a 160mm. Even if you wanted to use it as a gun platform, which has traditionally been a bad idea (and why wouldn't you just take a forgefiend), you cant let it sit on the backline with all the LoS blocking terrain footprints, and you cant really occupy them to shoot out of either. It also has a reputation as a distraction carnifex more than anything - and not really ever getting to shine. You can magnetize the arms from the looks but then you have to chop off the power cables. I'm still buying at least two but theres a lot going on here.
Honestly this makes me want to start Iron Warriors for Chaos.
Glad they're throwing us ECfags a bone after they gutted our codex last year. Hopefully this means we'll be getting some more options back come 11th.
See, this aligns with my warp-given prophecy that the most glaring omissions in our range were things that are coming or are being replaced.
