BTW that is a lot of wall sections Vik!

the first one is indeed due to flash... it is "just" mecharite red... pure and simple... i am toatlly attached to that color...yeah it is killed by GW... but i still have it and can get it via channels for now^^...

and yep... i think it is a feat quite heroic to do all those bricks^^
and since these are the first batch... argh^^

and childe...

these are all tiles i have atm cut up... now walls are needed... the ones you see above are done... the corner sections are all in need of doing (red and blue on the sketched plan) and then some more longer sections and some window sections too...

My mechriet red did not react well to water added and is now a dark pink/light red

Take a break Vik

and well this might be due to your water shaso? know mine is in two different shades too... one is pure... and one i diluted but if i layer it it is still getting me the original results... but only one coat is looking then fishy...

Yeah
I know how that goes

Aye, I loved bronzed flesh (taken out some time ago) and, of course, devlan mud. Awesomesauce, in its purest form. I lament it's passing.

The five colours I mostly rely on nowadays are chaos black and boltgun metal (obviously), skull white, scab red (a close match to mechrite red) and catachan green.

anyone got any ideas why GW discontinued devlan mud? Every painter I know used it, seems a bit odd to cut it's production...
Bronzed flesh was because it was an exact 1:1 mix of dwarf and elf flesh, so people just bought two and mixed them when needed- is this a similar situation?
I vow to get to the bottom of why GW brought down such an epic paint in its prime...

probably because they wanted to boost their new shades and base color system... my only bet tho... other than that... management manics at work...

Great Walls Vik! What does your son think of them?

I like the idea of pipes. What about some streetlamps also? Some of the GW terrain packs have some good lamps, both wall mounted and post mounted...

Is that what it was? I hadn't heard that. And a change of manufacturers made them change their paints?
I thought it was this new, fandangled paint system with base, layer, shade etc. and they didn't want people just using their old recipies

Some of us still have Devlin Miracle because of this swap. Need it to do brown hair after all.

These work out really well!
Some nice walls you created there§§§

GW's new system really works man!- It's no joke. I don't BS about these things!

Resistance is futile!

hey thanks klaus... and i see you run out of exclamation marks again... tho those §§§ are a good substitute tho they do look a bit pimp-like^^

hey bama... glad you survived the mess^^ if you tackle weety´s thread... well her´s is a moloch of banter too...but at least her´s has more paint in it^^

well not_u i need to get the new stuf soon... run out of the miracle sauce already... and for me it is essential to get a certain wooden look...darn^^

at dave... my son already likes them... the deadline of the first outline of the wall sections is by the way...last day of july...after that i wont get as much time anymore as i want..stupid workhours

if you have an idea as to how to make them from scratch i am all ears...as i have none atm but would love to add some gaslights... that would heat up the athmosphere quite a treat!!!

Nice walls like the fact you have used hight as well really feeling this project and with a little side line of mine at the moment would work together, might have to come to Germany to have a game

I think the poster idea will add another look to the walls, weird I was doing the same thing the other day looking for posters in this style, got some the same

Maybe a manhole cover here and there would look good

Cant wait to see this progress further

I'm sort of dreading it myself as I'm running real low on badab black, purple and sepia. I use them so much. Sort of curious though to see how the Daemonettes would go with the new purple as I heard these new washes are supposed to be a touch thinner.

I just finished mine, not been in school for five years

thinner washes? argh... that would ruin them for me...as i am still a stright from the pot washer...

and LDD..yeah i would love to game with so many of my chums here...well one of these days... distance can´t be the last repartee for ever...


manholes of course... got at least some of zinges stuff still for that... and maybe i´ll attempt a scratchbuilt one soon...

the hight was for me a very important thing indeed...thanks for you noticing this... i have seen the hirst arts stuff... and they always lack the hight to truly feel inside a tunnel or terrain bit... i wanted to have the minis stand inside at least a wall that is worth of thinking it would support a ceiling... some of the stuff out there looks so low you just could imagine the minis hop over them walls...

oh cross post there krimson... home schoolar boy then?

Yes, the hight works great, gives a real sense of depth to the scenery and the feel of old victorian streets.

Man hole covers are easy to build, have you got a compass cutter take some textured PC cut out a circle from it, then cut out a larger circle than that one in plain PC.
Stick them together then add some rivets, cut out a small section in the street section ( ground template ) take a small strip of plastic strip add it to the hole around the inside edge of the hole (gives it the raised section)
Then stick the circle sections inside of the hole hey presto, if that all makes sense

One day mate one day

OMFG..the new washes ONLY have different names..how can you all be so brainwashed by the name?

Because I have yet to try them out and that's all I've been hearing about them. It's good to hear that that's just the over exaggerated hype it seems to be then. You know how the sky always falls when something like this happens...

Well, whatever you are hearing is BS...If the new washes are formulated differently, it's better..And the liquid ass smell is gone too

Good then. It seems I'm still too trusting...

LDD...yup...understood quite well... now i have to get me some textured styrene... and i do have compass cutter and even more heavy duty pouncing stuff for making discs...i will soon give that a try...

If anything...the foundation (or base paints) are even better now. All of the old foundation paints were very very flat, the new base colors just rock da house!

Good have fun with that then mate and show pics when you do
