duz_ Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I have started spaying a thin coat of gloss varnish over the model then doing my wash and weathering and finishing it up with a matte varnish to seal it. The gloss varnish really helps the wash to flow into the recesses. I have heard numerous people including a commission painter who speak highly of this method.

The gloss varnish really helps the wash to flow into the recesses.I have heard numerous people including a commission painter who speak highly of this method. I can attest to its effectiveness. I saw it done in a YouTube video and figured I'd give it a shot. It worked so well on the last hellhound it's now a thing for all my vehicles.

Danny Cyanide Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I'm going to give it a try, thanks! I should have done it on my tanks while they were glossed for my weathering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aleczander_G Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 Thank you all for the commendations on my projects. It's been a real motivator to finish thing so I can add them to the thread. I should have some pictures up soon of some recent games I've played, but I have to sit down and make sense of them first.

The Pounder Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 That Hellhound looks awesome I think you've got the balance on the weathering spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 The weathering is indeed spot on, draws the eye neatly on every model. I'm very keen to see pictures of them in battle, purging the enemies of the Emperor! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleczander_G Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 1500 point army pics! Now to work on 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HallofStovokor Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 That's pretty solid for 1500 points. You might want another fast attack and a tech priest. That should fill out your brigade. Then spend points on some more troops and maybe a punisher. That should get you to 2000 points with a powerful TAC list. Bullgryns might not be a bad choice either. They're pretty tough, have 3 wounds per model and 5 can go toe-to-toe with aberrants or custodies in melee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Beautiful work! You've now got a solid core you can add to at your own pace too, so the effort paid off After 2000 comes 2500, and after that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aleczander_G Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 Thank you all! Going to swap the manticore for a tech priest and another basilisk I think. Then a few more troops and maybe creed/kell at 2k, but a punisher does sound fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
