    These guys are fun to paint for sure. Now that I've found a decent way to do the yellow. I have to fix those base rims wow. Still a work in progress. I have 4 more to go.

    Nice work, super clean and looks so good painted. Damn that's pretty big too. Those crystals look awesome. You got a really good effect on the lava too. My Orc is coming along but I can't get a good picture of him. Best I can do

    So you can kinda see the progression. The gold/brown which has very good coverage, brighter gold/yellow, really yellow, then almost white yellow. It's pretty much just giving some variation and makes it look richer. You don't need the exact colors but it's Vallejo Scrufulous Brown, Gold...

    I don't like to hate on Army Painter because I've honestly only tried one of their paints, but it's very thin in general. For the Yellow I highly recommend Vallejo Scrufulous brown! It's an almost orangy yellow, and a really good base color to work up from. I'll take a picture of what I used.

    Combo breaker. I wanted a quick paint of something different after all the Ultramarines.

    Started playing yesterday. Me and 5 other friends. Should be interesting. I'm tentatively going Templar, but we will see what others choose.

    The belly robe has grown on me. I definitely appreciate they go for the Roman aesthetic, sometimes it's better than others but generally I like it!

    Aquarists unite: fish are friends, and food

    My dog was barking yesterday and I went to see what happened. One of the goldfish jumped out of the tank, or got pushed out by the bigger of the two. He was lying there motionless, no idea how long he was there. Picked him up, put his head in the water just to see what happened, and he started...

    This is just a base coat but I am getting better at faces. Not great, but definitely better. I think once I spend a bit more time on this guy he'll look pretty good. Even at this point he looks solid from tabletop distance. The GW sculpts do help a lot.

    The D&D thread

    Yeah that's a very good point. Usually the party screws up on encounters with multiple enemies. They don't focus them down, spread out, or clump up for an AoE. I typically keep a few lower level monsters in my back pocket to throw in if they are steamrolling. He will take off flying and...

    The D&D thread

    Just using this post to kind of think out loud.... how do people here judge an encounter? Is a CR 9 for a party of 5 level 6 players a good challenge? Running Descent Into Avernus and my party has been smashing everything. They are newly level 6. Five characters: Wiz, Warlock, Paladin...

    Yeah you can still spray with the .2 for sure. It widens out enough to get some good coverage.

    Not too much painting today. A bit more progress on the Death Guard, and lined up some recent work to get a few pictures.

    WTF that is weird, yesterday I randomly started painting a Death Guard i had sitting on my table for months. I like to have something to switch things up.

    That Tank is awesome. I ordered a couple of models myself to give them a try. I'm guessing there is a lot of overlap with miniature painting Games Workshop stuff. My current work in progress is this guy, I have not decided what the sword will be yet. NMM, TMM, Just paint it metallic steel...

    Miniature Painting

    Yeah that tank is fantastic. It's weird i see a ton of mini painting content out there, mostly Warhammer, and not a lot of model stuff. Maybe I'm just not really looking too hard though to be fair I'm still 100% invested in mini painting. Might move on to busts or larger scale, but we will see.

    If anyone knows any good resources for models I'd be interested. Youtubers or forums or whatever. More looking for the beginner stuff, any type of model. Planes, cars, ships, tanks... whatever.

    Yah thanks man, it's a little bit of both. It's true metallic paint, and I also highlighted and shaded it a bit.

    Latest I've been painting. I'm in a little bit of a lull so I'm just doing very casual but fun painting. Not trying to get them too high level, more just relaxing. I like the bases on these guys.

    Yeah 1 to 1 call for about a half hour but we always go long. It's a tier on Cult of Paint's Patreon. I think I've done it for 4 months now. Its a good way to get direct feedback and advice. He was saying the in person classes they do are his favorite. He feels like people get a lot out of...

    I get on a zoom call with Andy Wardle each month so he can help me improve. I really wish I could go to one of the Cult of Paint in person workshops. Hopefully if and when covid settles down they will start doing them again.

    Citadel and Vallejo for the most part. I'm starting to convert over to more Tamiya for the airbrush. I have a fair amount of Scale 75 paints now too, but most of my go to paints are Citadel or Vallejo.

    Yeah Flow improver is just something to stop it from drying quickly. It also will thin the paint but the main goal is to be a drying retarder. As for white, Not to get too many choices out there but I am a convert over to Tamiya Flat White. It's really good when thinned down and put through...

    Yeah for spitting a couple of things, a lot of people recommend keeping the air flowing a bit after the paint stops. So push down for air, pull back for paint, reset to forward but still pushing down for air to get everything out... then release. Stops the spit in the beginning. Other thing...

    Me too but they are pretty big. I feel like it would be challenging. Very cool figs though.

    You're off to a good start @ziggyholiday . Can highlight anything by adding a bit of a lighter color to whatever color you're using. So a tiny bit of maybe a blue to your black would do it. I did the airbrush portion of the big guy today. I have to remind myself it's going to show the depth...
