Nice work! He looks rather cocky in that pose, the way he's holding that greatsword you'd think he'd confidently use it to butter his toast  :happy:

I really really like the look of your army.  :smile2:

Ok...thats it...now I have to get some black and yellow Averlanders into my army.  :eusa_wall:

There is just too much inspiration here.... :eusa_wall: :eusa_wall: :eusa_wall:

I like your greatsword conversions alot...I did a similar thing but with the "metal" ones.....way too much work and didnt turn out as nice as yours.

(Could someone please have GW bring back the Reiksguard knights on foot...so we can get some armour out there...)

Good job  :::cheers::: :::cheers:::

So working on one of these things. The mandatory helf conversion guy. 
(http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd117/anatzenko/wip_general.jpg)
Personally I like the way hes turning out. Done what I can with knife & glue time so now it only needs some green stuff here and there.

hmm.. You can probably tell I like fancy hats :)

My Nuln Stank.
(http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd117/anatzenko/stank.jpg)
tad wip since it needs a rebase also I can't decide what to write onnit. I'm pretty happy how it turned out since I tried to give it my very bestiestest paint job I can currently pull off.

ps. suppose I aughta mention that my army consists of Averland and with Nuln artillery gunners etc.

Citadel.. Base is beastial brown.. Shadow with tinblitz... Midtone shining gold and highlits with burnished gold and mithril.

I use those gold paints aswell, but somehow I can't get the gold to settle smoothly distributed, the pigment parts seem to constantly clutter together

Mix the paint well and try adding little bit acrylic thinner if its all globby glumby like... Metal paints are tricky!

@StealthKnightSteg
I've recently started using a wet pallet, and that has greatly diminished the "clumping" problems that I've encountered.

Post by: StealthKnightSteg on March 21, 2014, 12:14:00 PM
it's not the paint it self that is clumpy.. it's rather wet of it's own actually. But the actual pigments containing the color seem to contract to eachother leaving pieces uncolored with only a glossy feel to the base coat

I see... so the pigment ain't mixing with the thinner all too good. I'd recommend a vigorous mixing shaking scraping, really get in there...Work it like it owns you vast amounts of money and you just caught it buying an expensive pair of shoes.   Also might be that there is something funny about your paint.

Sounds like a problem with the undercoat.  Are you applying your metallic paint over a gloss, or semi-gloss base coat?  I've had trouble getting it to lay down when I've done that.  Applying gold over a flat brown base works well for me now.

Chaos Black so that isn't really the problem.. I will try to mix the paint better see if that improves it.
