Not sure where it is on there, but Mike has some of almost exactly what your talking about with the mixed in paint in water effects on his blog, you might want to check it out.
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/259854.page

Can you be more specific as to where? That's a 60+ page blog!

OK, here's a direct link to his tinted water effects post... didn't see where he gave his formula though. toxic pond

Ohhh, ohhh! Here's an idea worth stealing! water filled craters

and to the exact question... water filled crater with seeping toxic waste

Thank god you did that Gits, I was on my phone, and posting the link was hard enough

Cool effects!

I'd strongly recommend hanging around Mikes blog if your into terrain at all. He's super responsive and has some great stuff. Also just welcomed a new future-gamer into the world.

Yep, great blog... I was subscribed for a good while but then somehow got unsubbed. That's fixed now.

Happy Easter from Thing 2 & Thing 1! (Bad Moons & Doom Eagles respectively)

One of these days I'll make a table if contents.

I will! Thanks madmarty... always love to spread the word about the great works of others!

Thing 1 has discovered the joys of raiding dad's bits box... and created this!



Cheeky little bugger took some of my best bits!

Haha, like father like son! It looks very nice, loaded up for death dealing

i like it!

Looks very nice.

Thing1's got his head on right.

You should be proud!

And seriously, don't keep your best bits in the box to be raided if you don't want them nicked!

Every time I see that head, I just think Zurg.

using a venerable dreads head, good decision!
idk how your kid is, but i think its time to introduce greenstuff!

Ah, but my GSfu is weak... he needs to be taught by a master..

as said idk how old he is, but just explain how it works, what its for and show him a few tutorials about how to handle it and let him figure it out.
in a year or 2, you will be looking at a junior GD winner, in 10-15 years you will have your own GW sculptor

see it as a long term investment

Thing 1's age is in the title of the thread Though he might be 11 by now.

Good call. Fixed that.

Gits,
I'm just going to add that my 4-year old is often right by my side when I'm painting. I may end up making a Gray Knight army for him sooner rather than later!

Go for it Anpu... it's a lot of fun. Just be patient with them... and remember that fun is more important for them than winning should be.

umm for like the thousandth time gits well done keep up the good work. also if in 2010 your sun was 10 wont he be 12 now?

He's 11 at the moment... 12 in a few more months.

And thanks!

yw. 300 dollars seems to go a long way in america, i earn up to 1250 new zealand dollars a year if the weather is good and i get to mow the lawns (which are i acre =/) every weekend like i do in summer (but i live on the west coast of new zealand in the south island and when i watch on the news and see Britain has had 2 centimeters of rain in the last 24 hours and is flooding i laugh because we literally get 3 meters of rain a year which equals 8 millimeters a day every day but we only get rain about half the time and when we get a storm we get like 2 centimeters of rain in 10 minutes). anyway i get about 700 nzd a year when i have done all the chores and i dont really spend it on anything small but i never have enough money to buy anything.

anyone wanna shout me

Cheeky little bugger took some of my best bits!

But, he did a blooming good job with them!

I wish my Dad did Warhammer, he might then realise the "potential" in it, rather than being a "waste of cash"

(I agree about the waste of money, from GW at least... )

yes i have to pay 129 nzd for a monolith and a heavy destroyer costs like 60 dollars? and 3 tomb blades cost more than 12 warriors and 3 scarabs. its a bit weird

Sweet blog gits, thing 1 is probably more talented thanmost of the players at my local GW ( sea of grey anyone?)

Thanks Legion. He hasn't been doing much lately... but that's OK. Now that summer's here it's all soccer and crew and scouts... oh, and his first chance to "drive" (the riding lawnmower)... that was a biggie.
