The fact that you put each gretchin inside it's own grid square on your work mat speaks to me on a spiritual level.

Thank you for doing this. As a young and hopeless 10 year old painter when I first got into 40k with second edition, these paint schemes are what I aspired to and spent countless hours dreaming about while reading and re-reading White Dwarf. I never really managed to achieve anything close to these bright, awesome schemes but am grateful for the modern tools that I'm able to use now! I can't wait to see a classic Blood Angel painted up 2e style!

@adammcardle 4 года назад

When you're sealing the sand on with the really watery PVA, add a single drop of washing up liquid into the pva/water. It'll break the surface tension and make it soak into the sand even easier. It'll also let you get away with a slightly higher PVA/water ratio which will help seal it down even harder.

@anotherzingbo 4 года назад

Cool video! My memories of the Citadel paints from the late '80s and early '90s (I think they are the previous generation to the ones Coat D'Arms are recreating) was that they were very transluscent and that fixing mistakes where a dark paint went over a light paint would often be very tough. Also I don't remember Chesnut Ink being as universally good as the Chestnut Wash you were using.
