It&#...First thing: HOLY CRAP A NEW ACT OF BLOGGERY! It's good to see you posting again!<br /><br />All of Reaper's Liners are incredible, I think I find a new use for them pretty much every time I open a bottle. On my latest project (the damnable, time-consuming god-I-don't-want-to-paint-any-more-marines-please-make-it-stop Star Phantoms) I've had to figure out something to do with black's bastard step-child: dark gray. I started out doing a LOT of cheating with Tamiya's Gunship Gray in the rattle-can, but at this stage of the game I've found (for the marines themselves, anyway) that Krylon gray primer makes a great base, then I hit it with multiple washes (thought technically I suppose it would be a "glaze") of a mix of 3:2:10 Gray Liner:Blue Liner:Glazing Medium, with a 1:1 mix of Gray Liner:Stormcover Gray for touch-ups. For highlighting I've been doing mostly edges, and so there's really not much in the way of transitions...and Ghost White has been working pretty well. I've done a little bit of highlighting/color variance by adding Ghost White to a 3:2 mix of Gray Liner:Blue Liner and that's worked pretty well, too. Shoulder pad rims get a 2:1 mix of Icy Gray:Ghost White with minimal Icy Gray highlights. For shading/blacklining I've found that black (as in RMS Black Primer) is just -too- black, but certain mixes of Gray and Brown liner (sometimes with Blue Liner added in) makes for a nice, almost-but-not-quite-black that I'm more-or-less OK with.<br /><br />The trick, I think, is remembering that "true" black is pretty unnatural-looking, but dark grays with deep blues and browns mixed in give much better color that your eyes will still "read" as black.<br /><br />Thanks for a great article. You made me remember that I actually have Linen White and I'm going to do some 'sperimentin' with it and see how that goes. :)CrusherJoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02299632516296404872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352641950800687205.post-24301840285760875102009-10-07T06:43:48.090-07:002009-10-07T06:43:48.090-07:00Very nicely done!

Lots of people would use the "Super solid black" hidden color on the palate, and it looked awful, even though it was a true black.It just sucked all the detail out of the texture.<br /><br />For us lazy people who just want something fast that looks ok from 3 feet away, do you think basing the model in a dark grey and then doing a heavy black wash would work at all? Maybe with a lighter grey highlight?<br /><br />GW's badab black wash darkens even the highlights pretty significantly.Spanky Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09826817795135673312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352641950800687205.post-48750319380053664382009-06-17T12:12:00.901-07:002009-06-17T12:12:00.901-07:00Great job, wish I had a flyer like that*jeallous*

I'm fairly certain that's not the case, I don't think it works the same way as when you take a Ld check from losses due to enemy shooting. Maybe I understood you wrong... it would bring your squad size down for the next turn of enemy shooting and make it easier for them to break you. Or could be this is all strange Templars stuff, with which I'm not too familiar...<BR/><BR/>and btw, hello from a fellow Dragon's Plair!bullymikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13475066768145344911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352641950800687205.post-35439113889704788352007-04-30T13:53:00.000-07:002007-04-30T13:53:00.000-07:00I'm often suprised at how many people think 24" is...I'm often suprised at how many people think 24" is too short for range. A unit in the middle of the board can dominate a huge area with 24" melta fire, effectively denying the area to enemy armor. This will either draw enormous fire from the enemy (relieving your other units) or funnel enemy armor into other areas of the board.<BR/><BR/>Rumors have it that Death Guard will be allowed Multi-Meltas in the next codex. You can bet I'll be giving them a closer look when that happens.
