A community dedicated to the universe of Warhammer 40k, a tabletop setting in the far, distant future.

This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.

Rules

  1. Keep it civil. Don’t insult other community members in posts or comments, and don’t make posts designed to insult other community members or parts of the fandom with different opinions.

  2. Posts must be on-topic.

  3. No real life politics. That means no political advocacy, and no real life political discussions vaguely dressed up as on-topic posts. If you want to discuss real life politics, you are free to start your own community.

  4. No memes/low-effort spam/Youtube poops style posts. grimdank is a place for those.

  5. Posts must be coherent.

  6. If a post is otherwise allowed but has realistic gore or nudity, please mark it NSFW.

Hazard stripes is another good option and yellow goes super nicely with red.

I like that idea too!

My straight line free hand isn't up to it so I may lay down the black for now and cont back to the yellow when I have some tape to help me out.

In the meantime, can anyone offer any help? The Flesh Tearers Contrast acted weird on this guy's left panels compared to everywhere else.

When first applied it acted like it was going on a hydroponic surface instead of primer and, once it did stick, it left the brush marks you can see here.

I've been doing a 3:1 ratio with contrast medium, but it is the later half of the pot.

Too much paint? Too much medium? Something weird on the brush or on the mini?

Looking good like that.

Honestly I'd just leave them black, trying to paint yellow stripes over black will send you mad.
