so February is on, the Battle of Grannies is released

Yeah I wanted the glow to Look more unreal but not to the extent I managed to pull off. Got the next OSL Project primed so with all the good advice and more patience Fingers crossed that it works:) The accent is an aquired Taste to be sure but so probably is mine I like his methods frame of mind and the Aspect that he always has an eye on the clock while painting.i can relate there

Welcome Love the Carp, what did you use to make the Water ?

These are really cool Paintjobs. What's nagging about photography?

The internet has finally realized that your pictures are too wesome too be made availble in public without you getting paid for it

Okay this is believe-based but i would always watch Marco over any painter right now, present streamers of course not included. I know this video, but there is a difference in "i watched this video last april" to i try to paint this in under half an hour before Lunch is done. But i promise to make the next OSL better

Aw damn mate, that looks great Last week was February, so for me it would be allright to count that model for February.

I think i get what you mean to be super honest i spend like 10-15 minutes on the Lighting and for that it looks okayish when on the table. it was sort of a tryout for a model i want to paint somewhen this year when i have more time, so the Feedback is very welcome, thank you. Now my language barrier is finally kicking in: so let's see if i get you: a) the light near the source should be more white, or much whiter than any major reflection b) light near the source should still cover most of the lighted object while still not being saturated as much as the areas further away c) i don't really know about the fall off: you are saying the light should cover less space on her left leg right arm and the ground? i watched some videos about OSL, but i should have watched one before painting. i am grateful for the feedback and not terrible sorry about the model, she still looks allright. i don't think i will change anything about her now, i'll just Carry over the experience to the next model where this might apply. I purposefully don't airbrush now because i airbrushed before i painted with a brush, i am trying to develop a sense for using brushes

Yep

Sure i think that's why we are here

This is jessie who might have looked better before i did my impression of OSL.... calling her done before i ruin her more

allright minimum Pledge for this month looks like: I'll just start right now i guess. I think the rest depends on which Parcel comes when, if nothing arrives i'll try an have another go at painting nexus Does Old McCabe net 30SS because he is two Models? Feels like cheating Okay rambling about paints: I started on Vallejo and build like have desk full and then for some Reason bought a lot of Citadel stuff as well. When Playing Warhammer i was heavily into metallics (go Grey Knights etc.) which I am avoiding at the moment to further my skills (i hope) Since Playing Malifaux i am using Vallejo and Liquitex Inks as well as GW Contrast Paints on a Greyscale Sketch (See Picture above) because it's the least time consuming while effortless method of painting for me at the moment. I go back on the highlights with stock paints. Thus i am using a lot of water / matte varnish / glaze medium as thinners. For Airbrush i thin everything using Vallejo Airbrush Thinner / Flow Aid / Airbrush Cleaner (yeah intentionally after i unintentionally grabbed the wrong bottle and it worked kind of good). My biggest issue is: i bought Kymera Artist Acrylics and a S******* of oil paints, but i can't for the life of me make a start on new techniques. Also i get a headache or simply get pretty drugged from most Oil Colour solvents 😕 so to sum up: never refrain from mixing stuff from different brands, you can always learn a lot and EVERYTHING does go through an airbrush eventually if you are pigheaded enough

@Hobby Wyrd@Shock & Awe i am good with either, so call her 30SS i am really curious how she looks painted Can give you measurements of Titan Base this evening when i am at home, have to unpack one

Hi everyone I have noticed that not everybody who has pledged has filled out the soulstone Reporting form that @Shock & Awe has been kind enough to supply. So, to remember you of this: at the end of the month, when finished painting stuff for the month ---> take 1 minute to fill in the Soulstone reporting form, makes all our lives easier. Well mostly shock's and mine, but nevermind So please go ahead and do that until let's say 15th of February at which day i will start PMing you like the horribly annoying person i am. The Monthly Soulstone Reporting Form CLICK HERE!

if my eyes do not betray me if thats the 32mm variant i would say it's a master and thus she'll be 15 SS. I am unsure what the 75mm version would net someone to paint, but unless someone opposes me there i would go with my gut feeling and say same as TOS Titan, 25SS

Deadline Limbo is the done thing in my Opinion. I know i said Cadmus but i painted Wastrel. Had a lot to do and have been directly hit be Corona so needed to paint something that i didn't think as important. was great fun though, Hucksters are awesome models and have never painted Horses before (which shows). Nevertheless i am okayish with this for 69 SS total this month

It is my honour to introduce month number two of this years painting challenge, copy everything from recent threads and boldly state that i made a contribution. From when i write this, january has been a crazy good month in the painting challenge with so many awesome works shared, i am pretty hyped for the rest of 2022! If you are new to this, the rules for this competition are HERE This month Masterclass theme will be my favourite money sink: P A I N T Tell us what paints you use, what type, brand, how and if you dilute them and with what, do you mix them yourself, paint from the pot, what would like to try out, maybe someone in here has got you covered fire away P.S.: posted this earlier because my weekend timeframe looks horribly full

Hm from my point of view, as we so far had a 7-8 player meta (so something like a contained ecological niche kind of thing) my 2cents of thinking: You got to work much harder playing in Keyword only. Especially in specific matchups, to the point where some matchups are barely playable for one side if you stay in Keyword (there is the idea that if you declare a faction you have 8 Crews and can tailor to your opponent and pool, but there were limited amounts of crews in the beginning). Now enter versatile and OOK: If you do not play much, it's much easier to go into the forum (or ask someone you think knows better) and pick up your factions all-star models and insert them into every Crew. Saves you learning, and due to fine balancing issues indeed makes your crews stronger i guess. I think the question is what kind of player you are and how much time you honestly have to spare for studying the game. In every Tabletop there is a meta and in every tabletop there are people who go copy paste play with different amounts of success and people who really think hard about alternatives and try to make them work and maybe figure out a way to break the meta to some degree. I think the latter one makes you a better player in the long run, but i guess if you have like 3 hours every week for thinking and playing faux then bringing dual rider lawyer stewart saves you stress and frustration. Due to my recent expierences in a bigger meta would say: Either there is more frequent finetuning needed, thats what would be best for competitive regular gamers and would include imho stuff like taking away fixed +2 to initiative from some models or: the Cost for hiring ook is not high enough. I am at a loss to make a suggestion, but paying more stones would only narrow everything down even more than it acutally is, so it has be something to do with the in game efficiency maybe? like having them take a low Willpower and make them get slow if they fail it. To show they are not funtioning as well in another crew?

Ah come on that NMM does look so good though

I feel like changing it to a model in contact suffers 2 Damage instead of all models in base contact would be another solution. But maybe your version is better because the opponent can then at least try to pass the easier duel. I also would like to have an incentive to even use the brocken's melee once in a while, because it's an awesome attack, but unless the opponent has armor/incorp/shielded, i just do not use it

Okay because i just finished painting them and apart from being pretty boys: After the McCabe1 Master Nerf, i feel his best minions, the Ruffians and the Cryptologists deserve a buff. Ruffians need HTK, HTW, Armor+1, Disguised, or get shielded when they get an upgrade something along those lines otherwise they are without function (and might be even then) Cryptologists, apart from being in Cadmus Keyword for some... i mean the bonus with the trigger: in Keyword, i get to draw a Card and have another model take an action for a 9 of Mask and otherwise... might give them just Movement 5? And perhaps a trigger or two on the melee? Drain Magic? Hole in the World? something along those lines? I mean i can't rule out that i am missing something (again) that they are REALLY good at in Keyword. but right now they are Shelf models apart from introduction games for beginners And i think it wouldn't be terrible to readjust McCabe1 a bit, he lost bite....

that's true. But it's still no excuse to just dump whats on top of my head in any post i guess

Gee you are right. I should get more sleep. My bad

Damn you everytime you post pictures i am tempted to start painting my Gibbering Hordes as well. Love the Eels !
