Not much hobby time lately as I've been building a new desk / workstation / shelf.
Anyway, here is where we're standing right now :



And here are some more shots of the base and the force field





The last picture is the closest I could get to actual look :/

Advice / Re: True Metallic metals

For the grainy part, I don't get how it happens but sometimes it's about a good shake of the paint pot and really thinning it down. This makes it a pain to get good coverage though so I usually base coat with a normal color close to what i want (grey for silver, brown for bronze etc).

I'd add that for shadows, you need to glaze with mate paints as metal as very mate shadows ^^

Had a go at glazing in some olive drab, made the metal a little bit more interesting, thanks!

Hi all,
Here is my entry before painting. A Blood Angel Legion Praetor in Tartaros Terminator armour.
Excuse all the blu-tac, I usually paint my minis in parts and assemble at the end.

Upcoming Golden Demons / Re: Which events to expect?

At least I'm glad it's not just me who suddenly lost my ability to look up information online.
You would think the biggest miniature company in the world with one of the most well known painting competitions would be more professional about all this...

I'll be watching these forums closely for any new info :)

Ooooooh I never knew that.

This actually makes a lot more sense. I'm definitely not an expert and I was thinking that the gems were soulstones. I always found it kinda weird how they would put so many dead eldars onto stuff...

(Thanks for the compliment :))

Just to point out, the bumps and lumps on Eldar vehicles and armour were never meant to be gems. They were supposed to be aesthetically-pleasing curved shapes to cover what would be unsightly sticky-out bits (joints, hydraulics, etc.) or access panels on non-Eldar vehicles. The only ones that were supposed to be gems were the ones mounted in specific mountings, like the main chest one on Guardian armour, etc.
The reason they got painted as gems was because of a mistake by the 'eavy Metal team, which has made life hell for Eldar painters ever since.
Sorry about that... ::)
But it does give you an out, eh?

(The paint job's looking really good, by the way. Love that deep red.)

I am aiming for 40k single, AoS single, and vehicle.  However i would like them to pull finger out with the masters category as almost less than 4 months to go.
