Hey got a question for you future Admech guys, will you be priming (spray) silver, then painting red where needed, or priming red and then painting silver? What typically looks better? Any recommendations on sprays to use for Admech stuff? (Both for silver and red)

I'd do red spray and then paint the silver.

But put down a basecoat of dark brown before painting the silver.

What I do is:

-Prime Black
-Drybrush Silver
-Drybush and block in secondary metals
-Paint in the reds/cloth
-Wash
-High-lighting/light dry brushing in larger areas of metal to bring back some shin from the wash.

I also only use brush-on primers.

What brush on primer do you use?

I'm tired of sprays with the long cold Canadian winters.

maybe i'm the only one who gets made when y'all do ASCII and call it "binary". Binary is only numbers.

Well, only 1s and 0s.

But who's been doing ASCII? I genuinely haven't seen anyone do any ASCII in this thread, just binary.

I think ASCII is the way of interpreting binary as letters that GW is using, binary in itself isn't a direct translation to text. E.g. if you translated the same binary codes to decimal (assuming each string of 8 digits is taken as a separate number) you'd get:
65 108 108 32 104 97 105 108 32 77 97 114 115 33

I'd never thought of that... but now I have the urge to try it. Especially since it comes from you.

Thanks Mathieu for the vote of confidence.

Any particular reason for Dark Brown behind the silver as opposed to black?

It's easier to get red to cover well in fewer coats on top of brown rather than red

(and it looks better/richer too if you're putting it on thin enough to notice the difference)

It also helps with a worn effect on the metal.

Black can definitely work, but in my own experience it tends to look almost cartoony or exaggerated.
The brown adds a bit of depth that the black doesn't necessarily put down first.

Without wanting to go too off-topic, I tend to use a brown basecoat for anything I paint now. Prime black->basecoat brown.
It's how I did this:

Spoiler:

If using Citadel colors, which brown do you recommend? I would say this is on topic as others looking into the army should definitely be looking into different ways to paint the default mechanicus color scheme.

Rhinox Hide is the closest match to the old Scorched Brown, and with it being a base color it works pretty well.

Have new white dwarf, can confirm ASCII/Binary text in back.

So when do pics generally get leaked?

On the Monday before the White Dwarf that has the pictures gets released

Usually between now and Wednesday. Sometimes we get stuff earlier. But it seems that it depends on a week by week basis.

WD images leak as early as Monday, but typically Wens on average.

You're all wrong. The answer is:

Not soon enough.

So new "rumor": Australia won't be allowed to have Ad Mech.

*kills ClockworkZion*

*uses his corpse to create two different Servitors*

In the name of the Omnissiah you take that back!

How can I take it back? I'm already thrice dead!

Besides, what are you going to do, kill me again?

We all do. Except H.B.M.C. Because the Adeptus Mechanicus is illegal in Australia.
