<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Wet Look Question"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Wet Look Question

I was wondering if someone who has more experience painting than I (about 3 days worth) could help me find a way to achieve such a look.

Would it be a good idea to purchase a bottle of water effect and mix it with some chaos black? If so could someone give me a clue as to how much water effect to paint might achieve the desired look?

I would experiment myself but I don't want to go out and buy a bottle of water effect if this thought is way off base.

Use a gloss varnish or water effects, but that might make it look slimy.

Could you also use this to make blood look bloodier? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/512337/5362200.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/512337/5362200.page GMT Wet Look Question

If it's nurgle-y, I suppose. But it'd wind up looking like red slime. I use Tamiya clear red for my blood effects, but even with orks I haven't done it a lot.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/512337/5362254.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/512337/5362254.page GMT Wet Look Question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/512337/5362376.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/512337/5362376.page GMT Re:Wet Look Question

Do they make a paint on Varnish? I only want the spider parts to glisten not the daemonette torsos so I think a spray on Varnish might be a little tricky to use

There are plenty of brush-on varnishes available, both from miniature paint manufacturers and those who cater to craft and fine arts markets. I regularly spray my models with matte varnish, then apply gloss (I use Vallejo's offering) by hand to select areas to make them look wet or shiny. For the amount of surface you need to cover, though, I think it might be worth spraying everything with gloss varnish, then masking off the spider body and spraying the daemonette torso with a coat of matte to kill the shine. Since you only have one seam (torso transition) to worry about, it shouldn't take long - the bulk can be covered quickly with a crude tent of newspaper or aluminum foil.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/512337/5362423.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/512337/5362423.page GMT Wet Look Question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/512337/5362551.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/512337/5362551.page GMT Re:Wet Look Question This gallery has an Eldar army I painted for a friend, where most of the models are black, with several coats of gloss varnish to give the exact shiny, wet, carapace look you're after. (I apologize for the poor picture quality, and the two pics in there which have nothing to do with the Eldar army) I can personally attest that regular black, followed by varnish, will do what you need. (If you use two thin coats, you won't get chunks.) You can throw a black ink wash on over that to give it a little shine before you apply the gloss varnish. (Again, with the varnish, you get better results from multiple thin layers than from one thick one.) ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/512337/5362665.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/512337/5362665.page GMT
