Miniature Painting

How did you paint that cloak? Any special techniques or paints?

It's glorious. Another piece of inspiration for me to get off my ass and actually throw down the money for a kit and a starter army. Still not decided on faction.

Pull up a fold up chair at a table at the store and browse your ass off. Just walk in like you own the place. I read 2 codexes first trip, 4 the next. Definitely glad I did. Buying all 6 of em im sure woulda added up.

They offered local paint classes that I was all ready to go for but I got individualized attention (and needed it, I couldn't even do one brown belt pouch well when I first attempted after priming).

If you're lucky, can attract one of the local ultra beards (dead giveaway when u see em) who will very politely knowledge transfer everything in their head (reason I only read 2 the first time) that they spent decades amassing, free of charge. I got one going based on loving Total Warhammer 2 and you couldn't peel this one off me with a jack hammer. It was welcomed because he actually helped me find supporting lore I thought would match my interests and all that.

I'd be a Drukhari (I still want a list with a bomber) and unpainted without the various frens in orbit of this game.

He's done some work for me, can definitely recommend his service. I'd for sure go to him before hitting up companies like Frontline etc.

I might get just one thing or two from anyone I can here for sentimental purposes.

I have a chap in terminator armor, jump pack librarian and some devastators to go for an alt list. Might get the chap/lib an "upper tier" job, getting addicted to the sexy models tbh.

I finished a 2nd Horus for a Client, slightly different than the first

Mix of airbrush and glazing.
Nothing too special.

Gonna go for a metal conversion, see if I take my hand off

Bro. Saying this is like saying peat and barley make brown liquid. Mother fucker, *I* know how to airbrush and glaze things, and my figs sure as hell don't turn out like that. Maybe you are using Unicorn Horn Paintbrushes or Elven Maiden Minge Paintbrushes or something? Maybe Air Efreet Air Brushes from Japan? Those figs are great and your client should throw in a handy on top of your agreed payment.

It may actually seem simple to him, and parts of it are absolutely incredible.

Gonna think something up and use him for at least one piece eventually.

Thinner paint, more layers.

I mean,

the question was "special techniques or paint" In which case the answer stands, nothing special or secret, just good fundamentals, airbrush control, and really subtle glazing. All more basic techniques.

Always happy to share tips or technique if someone is interested.

I caught a guy rolling 7 dice instead of 6, thought of you

"Hey bud if you got 5 hits and there's 2 missed, how is that 6 dice"

Oh shit, you're Jim Vesal? I remember hearing you on a few podcasts years ago. I think in the last one I heard, you had your army stolen in the airport or some shit. Ever get that back?

Yes

As teens we would always just go in the back yard and get dirt, tiny pebbles, and moss to put on bases. Glue, some paint, perfection.
