The Lord of the Things
Angry Marines got some explainin to do.
TRAINING SIMULATION.
IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA AFTER THAT ONE WITH THE BRAIN DAMAGE STARTED GETTING IN TOUCH WITH US.
GLORIOUS.
Terrain projects!
So, I got myself some plaster at the local hobby shop, and I decided to try my hand at ruining some foam, turning it into a hill of sorts. It’s actually going to be a forest after I get more trees done, but a hill works in the meantime.
Anyways, as you can see, the process was pretty simple. First I took a big block of foam (I honestly forget what it’s called), and carved it into a more natural shape using a dremel grinding stone. Once I was happy with that, I mixed me some plaster, and gave it a nice, even (if slightly lumpy) coat. Once it had dried for a little bit, I took the brush and stippled the top and stroked the sides, giving it a look of rough, patchy earth with stony sides.
Oh, and I made some rocks out of the leftover corner pieces. I actually think I may use the same plaster-on-foam method to make a Beastmen herdstone at some point.

Excellent True Metallic Metal Tutorial
Going to try my best to follow this with the new colours when I start painting my Iron Snakes.
Oooh, that’s helpful.
Man, that looks superb.

ANYWAYS.
Enough of the painting snobbery for tonight. Hopefully some people will catch all this useful information later: For now, I desperately need sleep.

“bought some acrylic medium from a local painter’s store, and mix that with whatever color I’m using and an arseload of treated flow-release water to make my own glazes.” Again, in English? I’m always for a more simple way to “color” my Necrons (purp
Haha, sorry.
The medium is basically what Games Workshop is selling now; you can see the description for it on their website. Basically, it makes semi-transparent paints, and you can thin those down to make washes and glazes.
The flow release is just a chemical that you mix in with water to make it more responsive to paint. I like my paints to be as smooth as possible, and while I’m not really sure exactly how much it helps, it does make me feel slightly better about putting water on my pallete.
And I think your line may have cut out a bit there.
