The biggest downside to playing Nurgle is that rotting flesh and putrid skin tones are so hard to get 100% right, especially if you play an army with a daemon detachment

Ha, I don't even bother with realism. My Plaguebearers run the gamut from minty green to bruised purple. The most common color in my 60 Plaguebearers is a pale gray-green that recedes to dark purple, giving them sort of a psoriasis look.

Beautiful. Here's the guy I just finished as a proof of concept:

My plan is to slap on a few fleur-de-lis and give him to the sisters when they're released later this year. To maintain the integrity of the lore, assume there's a woman inside who gets electrocuted every time it moves.

Its mostly a war game where you assemble an army of little figures to fight other people's armies. Obviously there are RPGs, video games, books and tons of other shit connected to it, but yeah, if you want to play the game you will need a figure or two.

There hasn't been a good video game in a long time though.

"But what about Total Wa-"
You heard me.

Most 40k games are...okayish. They usually just seem soooo low effort.

Only Dawn of War 1 and Space Marine were any good.

Tried my hand at edge highlighting, but it looks a bit crap. Any tips?

I could definitely use a better brush, but I won’t be able to get one until Tuesday.

I think the highlighting itself looks good, all it needs is some cleaning up on areas where the lighting shouldn't be. It's already going to be well above average tabletop standards if you finish the miniature at this quality.

Are you painting in subassemblies? It is easier to access everything with the brush from a good angle this way (like using the side of the brush on raised areas). I haven't even really attempted hilighting yet, I may or may not ever implement it, but I'm trying to perfect the simple stuff first. I think it's just a matter of stylistic preference. You should see a lot of gains at it with a little practice though.

Yeah, I've been focusing on improving my painting skills before I start actually putting stuff on the table, if only so I can have an army that looks half-decent.

Unfortunately these are the easy-build ones, so no chance to paint them without anything getting in the way.

I'd say you should use a lighter blue, and preferably thinner lines (easier said than done of course)

So i've had a stompa for about 4 years, love the model, hate the rules, so i thought what the hell i'll make a kustom stompa from 7th when they were actually fun, here's where i am so far:

ETA: how do you like these colors?

Been thinking about starting a Necron Kill Team, but only if I can pick up some Flayed Ones; I've always had a soft spot for them, even though they're not so great. Sadly, though, the damn things are expensive!

Try the gem paints for the lenses it works great! I now even use them for Sm eye lenses, gunsights and all that. The red/green one is better, the blue is a bit meh, it doesn't spread evenly.

Buy a box of these instead because it’s what I plan to do.
