Viktor von Domm wrote:haha skalk... back to you

lol! Btw I have been painting recently... I'm currently trying to get the final hilights done, them will start on the NMM Gold then Silver!

you are a brave man to attemtp NMM ...braver than me at least^^

Viktor von Domm wrote:you are a brave man to attemtp NMM ...braver than me at least^^

Thanks Vik, but I'm using the Eavy Metal paint book so its kinda like cheating.. Its pretty easy to do, bascaot then blend up using bleached bone and add shades and line hilights... Well once you get the hang of it that is...

lol... if it gets you to have cool looking minis...there is no cheating...well of course buying already painted to high class standard minis would be the exception of the rule obviously^^

Viktor von Domm wrote:course buying already painted to high class standard minis would be the exception of the rule obviously^^

There's another exception to that- buying moderately painted miniatures and painting them to a higher standard. I've done it a few times.

Rule bender! lol! Sounds pretty good, which minis have you done that too? I geuss its a good way to add our own touch to a modle or if you don't have time to paint a full mini..

I have maybe 30 Plague Marines that I scored on eBay that showed up in good enough condition that I didn't rip them apart and repaint, I just added some detail that tied them in with my existing force. I've also got about 30 IG I bought that were so cool that they changed the color scheme of the rest on my IG, my PDF, and my Imperial terrain.

Cool! Sounds pretty good, thats the good thang when you can find kinda good modles, I gotloads of seneray for £10 and was all undercoated black and had boltgun put on parts, inculding a building with all the details piced out with silver... IBut I've mostly only got guys undercoated which is a good and a bad thing...

i see skalk... but your work did had your own skill still on them so... tiptoe on the rules of exception then^^

I'll be interested to see your NMM! I saw that in the HM book too, but I have not yet had the balls to try it.

Still rule bending..

Before I ahd done it it seamed really hard but all it is putting down the basecaot then adding snakebitle lether with more and more amounts of bleached bone every time then washes...

@ Vik and HAZZER- I'm only 'bending rules' that other people created, which is very much like how I live the rest of my life.

yup... bend them rules...

Thats what they all say! Joke! Its quite a productive way on painting minis if you can't be bothered to put down basecoats..
