screw this weather

Can't do any painting. Can water down paint until it's almost water, and it still dries before the brush gets to the model even. Tried to some ink washing, and the ink wouldn't spread. Somewhat need to some drastic fixing on my psyker squad. The whole "wash with brown on their robes thing" has gone drastically wrong.

Bring back the snow!!

  2. I got some painting done. although i'll admit it's not easy to do in this heat. even a little bit of cloud would be nice.

    I've found it's perfect weather for Green Stuff-ing though

    What's the issue with the psyker robes?

  3. Well to paint red, it's usually mechrite, harsh blood red highlights and then some devlan, which is is the best substance ever created.
    Problem is the wash didn't really have a chance to flow right, if at all. Just sort of brown rather than the reddy look I was aiming for.

  4. Try adding some flow improver. You can get it from most art shops. Add a little to the wash whilst in the pallete and it works wonders.

    It's great for mixing up your own washes too.

    Also, a bottle of it should last you ages, as you only need tiny amounts
