Here's my solution for spraying the armoury pieces. Foamcore and sticky tack

pro-tip: while priming, make sure you know which direction you're spraying before pressing down the spray button

Oh? Spray yourself?

Mostly got my finger, but did get a bit of my head as well. At least I didn't get a blind black eye

See, I prolly would have lied. ;}

I have 2 more to go. The Ranger and the Maiden. I think I will do them together with all trees and planty Creatures.

Yeah, its much more practical if you are doing them at the same time

but drains life out of you

I finished painting my Avi, including all of it's Armory options.

Nice one, cool color scheme 🤙🏻

That is absolutely stunning! I hope to one day get to that level

Thanks! ☺️

The stars on the cloak was an awesome touch. Makes it look magical. Majestical even. ;}

Lol, I first wanted to paint little scratches on the surface of the cloak, but went for a too even approach... so I turned the scratches into stars. Happy little accidents. 😁

I‘m still fighting my way through the Penitents Armory. Way too hot for long painting sessions.

As a painting newbie.... how do you get that worn look like on the shield and halbred?

Applying a wash over the metalic paint is a simple way to create that effect and then you can re-establish the base color in spots that you don't want it as dulled down

Pretty much what Tonzin said. Since I‘m going for a relatively fast approach on OS so I can get to play it, my worn metal is kept rather simple. I build up from Decayed Metal to Thrash Metal (both Scalecolor), then apply layers of thinned down washes (here Agrax [GW], Gore Grunta Fur [GW] and Earth Green [Scale Artist]. If I feel I’ve overdone that step I bring in some metallics again.

I went for the same approach on my Penitent.

Colored Washes/Filters on real metallics work wonders, too.

Yours took his sweet time to clean his armor though 😁

Looks quite worn and dirty in person, though.

Wasn't meant negative, hope you didn't take it that way. 😉

No, not at all. ☺️

The fact you lot are taking a "fast approach" and still getting results like that, while I'm spending hours on one figure and they still look like shit just solidifies my decision to never post any photos of mine. I'm constantly impressed. And also discouraged. Haha.

Us normies have to post our painting too. It will help the majority of people feel ok about painting. 🙂

Plus „fast approach“ is just relatively speaking. I try to stay around the 6hrs-mark for heroes, in that time other people finish the whole box^^
