Marshal Vespasian Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 See title. Has someone used them and can share experience with them? Be it rust or dust? I have a bunch of pigments, but I shy away from using them a lot of the time because a) for rust I find crusted rust deposits from ak to be way more dramatic and easy to use b) Fixing is such a hassle I am kind of hoping these might be cool, because greenstuffworlds Pigment Fixer is actually pretty good.

Lovecraft0110 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Hey Vespasian, I haven't tried them, but regarding the fixer: have you tried AK's? It works perfectly for me and has fairly short drying times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Vespasian Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 When fixing with a brush you are supposed to tap it to the pigment and let the capillary action do its thing right? I always loose a bunch of pigment doing that. Maybe I should spray the fixer. I have vallejos and greenstuffworlds fixer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough I was applying weathering powder yesterday and wondering how to apply the pigment fixer. I might have to try spraying it next time I'm able to find room to use my airbrush.

It works great by capillary action. I used Vallejo's for years and wondered why my finish was always crap. Or simply use an enamel wash, works 90% as well and gives you more options. It was in my Weathering ZM Bases tutorial... Edited May 20, 2020 by Lovecraft0110 Marshal Vespasian 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Vespasian Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 I did that for tank treads now that you mention it. 'Blended' it into the oilwash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovecraft0110 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Yeah, I bet that worked great, and you kill two birds with one bolter round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the 3 of the rust ones in asset drop, used them on some necromunda bases and they work pretty well. No fixing needed and you can build up layers pretty easily and drybrush over them with no issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
