Bumping for hope of video

This is my first time doing this as well. So for results like Doom and Surfer, take a drop of paint, put it in a cap of water from a soda bottle. Then slather it over the entire figure and wipe off the excess from the surface, allowing it to collect in the crevices? Is this about right?

I find that if get the best results if I use straight black acrylic (no water) and move fast with the wipe down, it comes out prefect every time.

I'm not sure if I'll have time to make a video but I'll see what I can do.

Video! Video! Video!

Both Silver Surfer and Doom are more kick-### then ever, great job.

For the record Warhammer paints (by which I assume you mean the citadel paint range) ARE acrylics.

Very cool! Really like how the black wash brings out the details.

Correct. I only meant it as an all encompassing term for the various paints use by other more hardcore moder's.

great paintjob !

thank you. i WILL BE DOING THIS TODAY. I HAVE EXTRA PAINT AND BRUSHES!

Yeah the lack of washes really does stand out with this set. On no figure more than The Thing. He is REALLY ORANGE!!!!!

I'm in the same boat wanting to paint SR's! I was pining to paint my spare GSX Phoenix as the Dark Phoenix but couldn't pull the trigger. She sat in my trade box for 6 months and then I pulled a third who was missing paint steps. No eyes no logo. That was sign enough for me to do it. And she looks 100x better, and Ive never been more happy.

Going forward I'll probably paint any spare that doesnt trade, or any defective pieces.

You OK with people posting their's here too? if no that's cool, I totally understand.

Bumping in hopes of a quick youtube video please!

Citadel paints make a straight up black wash (Devlin Mud) and it is good for those who are unsure on how to properly mix (or proportionately balance) the water to paint ratio.

Here is their updated wash Agrax Earthshade
