Silver Phantom

FRIEND!! I want one.

Currently rereading the Percy Jackson series

When your brother says he ships Syl and Kaladin. And you have to hold yourself back from killing him

This is great, cant wait to see more

When you connived someone of something and your first thought is “nice charisma role”

Great to have you, who’s your favorite character?

After 4 and a half hours, 3 complete resets, 12 different paints, 6 different brushes, 1 can of soda, 6 paper towels, a few choice words I will not repeat here, building an entire lighting set up just so I can get good photos, holding a light in my mouth to get said setup to work right. I have finished one model Storms… I love this hobby Not all the paints I used can be seen because of the resets, so here is the full list of the ones in the final version Abaddon Black, Mechaicus standard grey, administratum grey, agrax earth shade, night lords blue, macragge blue, thousand sons blue, temple guard blue

So tonight is going to be super late for me. I am working on some painting and this is the third time I have messed up and had to redo a part. I will be checking in at midnight

Long story short I messed up syl. It will be fine. and I will be done with her tonight. But it will kind of late

About to start painting syl. Out of all the miniatures, she is the one I am most worried about. Just trying to get her glowing blue look is going to be tough

I just got some of the Kharadron Overlords. And I have some space marines. I don’t play either 40k or sigmar but I have been wanting to learn. What faction do you play in sigmar?

I might go with the grass, thanks for the idea. What model are you working on?

So here is the first miniature. Lighting is terrible but best I could do Here are the paints I used for Pattern. All are from Citadel Colour (no I did not miss spell color, its a European based company) Abaddon Black, Corvus Black, Mechanicus Standard Grey, Eshin Grey, and Administratum Grey I put on a coat of Abaddon Black, then dry brushed on each consecutive color. Focusing heaver on the face to make it stand out. Pattern is very nice for this technique because of his sharp edges. I then painted the hand Mechanicus Standard grey also to help them stand out. For clarification. Dry brushing is were you get a brush with a strait edge (like shown bellow) put some paint on it. Then brush it back and forth on a napkin to get almost all of it off. You then brush it over just the raised parts of a model (very lightly) and it highlight the edge. I am thinking of doing something else with the base. I don’t really like that ring of smoothness (don’t know if that’s a real word) but we will see @RoyalBeeMage I don’t really have a set plan for any model. I am obviously going to try to stick close to the color they are in the books. But I have a l lot of different shades of the same colors so I will end up just experimenting and seeing what works. I will be using only Citadel Colours though.

I managed to get a couple of miniatures based coated before a storm hit. I should explain what base coating is. It’s were before you paint a model by hand you use spray paint over it. This helps the paint you put on later stick better and is a smoother finish. As you can see I base coated the shard bearer, the Lopen, Hoid, Rock, Syl, Taravangian, Patter, and Taln I used citadel Mechanicus standard gray. I will be starting Patter tonight

Thank you everyone for the support. I will be trying to base coat it tomorrow. It still will be very cold but it just going to get colder so I have to risk it. If you any question just let me know. And good luck, I am sure they will turn out great I am in South Jordan

It doesn’t stick as well, apparently. And obviously snow can ruin it

That’s what I’m using. I am also working on a dark angles army I know. I just need one more afternoon that isn’t freezing for the spray paint to stick
