rowdyoctopus 1,412 Posted April 14, 2017 Excellent job on the terrain! How did you make the rocks? Also, what technique did you use for the rust effects? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why, thank you! The rocks are floral foam, shaped by hand and painted with watered down wood glue to strengthen it and prepare it for painting. The rust effects on the skellys (which I need to get around to doing on ALL the reanimates, not just a few) is just Army Painter's new Rust effect, stippled on. It's a pretty good, no-nonsense, super high pigment rust orange. 1 AsakoDaihmon reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klaxas 203 Posted April 14, 2017 agree fantastic terrain job. love the mini's too. what did you use for the base of the terrain? 1 Tvayumat reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JasonGlass 167 Posted April 14, 2017 Plasticard for the bases or just cardboard? 1 Tvayumat reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tvayumat 3,637 Posted April 14, 2017 1/8" styrene sheet (plasticard) Easy enough to cut out the general shape with a hobby blade, then trim down the shape with a dremel. 1 JasonGlass reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blaied 31 Posted April 15, 2017 Great looking army, and love the terrain. I'm curious I see you painted the movement trays up and added some nice bits. Are those trays textured already or did you add some grit etc before painting ? Also did you hand make the anti cav spikes or did you buy those somewhere and paint them?

DaShamrockKid 24 Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) Army is looking awesome. I really like the slime effect on his scenic base. Edited April 15, 2017 by DaShamrockKid fixing my terrible spelling and grammar Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
banjobenito 1,393 Posted April 16, 2017 Great work on the non-metallic painting on the armour. I've gone for metallic on my Daqan as I was put off by the amount of work involved in NM, but I may take the plunge for my Waiqar now, seeing how yours have come out... 1 Tvayumat reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been talking about switching over to NMM for what feels like way too long. These guys are me taking the plunge and really getting in some solid practice.

banjobenito 1,393 Posted April 17, 2017 Are you using a video guide? I'm armed with an airbrush, so it shouldn't be too tricky, but I sense that NMM comes down to having a good eye for light sources, and knowing some nice tricks to achieve them.

eilif 138 Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) Brilliant work. Love the slightly more animation (in a good way) look on your undead. The basing work and your terrain is ace also. The string on those spiked barricades looks awfully clean though... Edited April 17, 2017 by eilif 1 Tvayumat reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vineheart01 6,403 Posted April 17, 2017 The magnet thing im definitely doing. I find the pegs the models are in to be annoying as hell, not to mention im afraid im going to snap something pushing them onto the pegs. Love the artwork here. The armor is especially amazing. 1 Tvayumat reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RexGator 0 Posted April 18, 2017 What size magnets did you use? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Armament81 5 Posted April 18, 2017 I also magnetized mine and used 1/8" by 1/25" magnets to do it. 1 RexGator reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tvayumat 3,637 Posted April 18, 2017 So many models... but even with three cores of Waiqar, I want to get started on Daqan. So, this is my Daqan post until I can figure out a better way to organize it. Prototype tray of spearmen, hooooooo! 7 Adun42, Warpedstorm, AsakoDaihmon and 4 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Torpid Rebel 48 Posted April 18, 2017 Loving both of your armies, very nice! Question about the magnets though... what have you done? I see a magnet pushed into the hollow part on the soldier's bases, but in what way did you modify the trays? 1 Fomorian reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
