    Ultramarines. I ended up seeing the Astartes series stuff, and then a video on how to play WH4K where they used Ultras, and then a good video on how to paint them. I already have 3 Ultras from when I first started painting, and this Aggressors kit. But I'll probably end up painting one of...

    Every day after school in the summer, my friend would order the same thing from the ice cream truck. "I'll have a bomb pop and my dog will have a Fat Frog without the eyes"

    What are you playing?

    So, do I buy Doom Eternal on PC, or give Witcher 3 another go. I couldn't get into it first time around for some reason. Decisions...

    WIP Stuff, the Roman soldier is metal which is a first since I was a kid. I have to say, Contrast Paint Snakebite Leather is great. Looks awesome in one application imo. I used it on Maximus' leather tunic or whatever that's called, sandals, lining around the shield, and that bandolier...

    I was noticing that two of my most recent minis are similar to my two first. It's like they leveled up:

    He's definitely badass. I love the look of this model. I'll prob work a bit more on him today and slap the DONE sticker on. I'm also very happy with his little snake buddy =p

    Thanks man. This is where he stands now lol. This is one of those projects I'm just going to work on til I feel I've learned enough then move on. I'm enjoying him a lot. Someone suggested adding some colors... thin glazes of yellow or red. We will see what I end up doing!

    Update... so I went for more contrast. In the process I messed up the mid tones lol. But I'm still working on him
  13. Dashel

    Miniature Painting

    Yeah I'm gonna push the contrast up on him. Darken the shadows at least and see where that gets me. This was him at an earlier stage and it seems more well defined.

    Yeah it sucks, I need to figure out how to get better shots. All the contrast is washed out

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Finally saw this because it was free on my flight home tonight. It was... soulless. I just didn't feel anything really. Which is actually worse than hating it. No emotion at all, kinda confirmation that this franchise is long dead. TFA had me a bit hopeful that they were moving in the right...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I only played DOS2 recently, like less than a year ago. I thought it was really good. As in I would put it on par with Baldurs Gate 2, or games like XCom, Civ series etc. That good. Then again I don't play many games these days :)

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I'm hyped for this. I had no idea it was being done by the Divinity OS people. Looks like they made a lot of improvements too. Jumping, quicker fights, perception rolls, shoving people... all good shit. You can tell by that video they learned a lot and I already really enjoyed the Divinity...

    His eyes came out so good! Very impressive! I dig the purple too. I need to do a purple squig.

    Miniature Painting

    Yah she is very good! I thought that video was helpful for sure. I'm still getting the hang of things. The airbrush really does put on super buttery smooth layers. I'm struggling with the second layers on top of it though. I think the inks I used are opaque and I was expecting more of a glaze...

    Squigs and a couple of gobbos are primed! I always go through this thing where I want to try something new, but don't want to fuck them up. But screw it, I can always just buy another set if I somehow FUBAR it. The plan is to try to use the airbrush more with these bros.

    Thanks man, top of the blade is Pale Grey Blue. Bottom is Neutral Grey and edges are Dark Blue Pale. All by Vallejo. I did a bit of mixing and blending but they're basically those 3.

    Here is where he stands at the moment. Still needs some finishing touches. I'm really happy with how the scars on his back came out. Very fun to paint him so far.

    I was in a bit of a funk also but changing up to this guy has re-invigorated me. I have very little experience with skin tones and I'm trying to push a bit outside my comfort zone. A tiny bit of NNM on the blade of his spear, the Vallejo metallics, skin tones.... lots of little things. He's...

    Been watching this guy and others use an airbrush. Vince Venturella is another example of someone I watch who always mentions using an airbrush. I have an airbrush, it's a Patriot 105. I think I just need to dedicate some time to fucking around with it more than just priming. I honestly still...

    Nice job mini-bros. Love the OSL on those models @Hateyou . I dig the purple on that owlbear @Koushirou . I'm trying to use some purple in my Chaos army now. Really good job on Venom @Rengak! His tongue came out awesome. I like the blue highlights too. Nice work.

    I know I can go a bit more on each, but I like to put a simple base and paint the rim right around this point. Then go back and touch up, highlight a bit more etc. Friends:
