I wanna purchase a set of these but I'm cautious about metal models. Any pros, cons or tips from your experience?
@Reaper0ll2 күн бұрын
For the 2 Infinity models I have done they went together and painted up no different from normal resin models. I think a lot of the stigma around metal models comes from the older GW minis. They weren't as bad as people make out, but they did require more work to make them stay together. As long as you have super glue and a decent primer, you will be fine with them.

Aight so watching your vids I'm starting to understand highlighting. Been using contrast paint over zenithal. When you do your highlights, do you go one or two tone lighter?
@Reaper0ll4 ай бұрын
It's very situational. If I am trying to paint fast I will probably jump up a couple of tones at once and then use the wash to fix the gradient. For adding a highlight over contrast I would probably just do a single brighter highlight on the top parts. Or if you want a more gradual change then you can go a tone lighter for a mid tone layer and then jump up another tone for the highlight.

I've heard wood stains work really well for washes. I've used them as varnish before but never for a wash. That is a big thing with most washes and they all stain differently between brands. Army Painter washes so far seem to be best for not staining too much and still looking good in the recesses.

These look like a brilliant alternative to cadians. Similar vibes of being a fairly “normal” IG regiment, but with a distinct armour pattern; like you’d expect from a random not particularly unusual imperial guard regiment. The helmets remind me of some of the ones the Moebian VIth use in darktide and they’re kinda like the AT-ST pilots in Star Wars. It’s basically exactly what I was looking for! Would love to see a side-by-side comparison with one of the new official cadians to get an idea of how well they match the proportions and stuff
@Reaper0ll6 ай бұрын
These are an amazing guard force to have available. They seem to be starting to release the tanks as well now, so we can get a complete force. I don't have any of the new guard to hand, but these feel like they would be a little smaller than the new cadians. More on par with the old school cadians.

I was thinking in terms of painting the skin last that the skin is the lightest, so fixing mistakes where I paint skin on to other already painted areas will be easier to fix, than getting darker paint on to the skin. But there must be a reason it is done first. Can you clarify this for me? Thank you so much for your time!

Generally I will always paint what is lowest on the mini first. Just so that you don't have to paint past something to get to a lower part. You can of course work either way, it depends what you find easier. I have just got into the habit of painting the deepest parts and working out.
