I'm just a guy trying to stay motivated with my painting, sharing my Warhammer and other miniature goodness.

A finished #ImperialFists intercessor.

These guys have definitely been the MVPs in my recent games!

For exact ratios, in my 15ml dropper bottles I use 7ml of ultramatt and 8ml of regular matt, but the difference is so small between that and straight 50/50 it wouldn't be noticeable if you didn't have a line of experimental space marines with various states of sheen on your desk.

I've been on the hunt for a good alternative to Citadel's Stormshield varnish for the last week and have settled on a basically 50/50 mix of AK Interactive Matt and Ultramatt varnishes.

It just keeps a bit of the natural reflection of light and saturation of color without making things dusky/dull.

I've used the AK interactive ultramatt and gloss through the airbrush and never had any problems with them in terms of use. I'm just not a fan of the way the ultramatt sucks the life and vibrancy out of the models, especially more colorful ones.

thatdudepaints.bsky.social @thatdudepaints.bsky.social · 6d

Those are crisp 🔥

I like the results from citadel's stormshield a lot, particularly for power armor, but want to pick up larger bottles that can be used straight through the airbrush.

I've seen people complain about the shine on AK's regular Matt so will try that and go from there.

I've fully gone off ultramatt varnish. I find it sucks the life out of the colors too much and makes my minis look a little sad and flat.

Going to experiment with some regular matt varnishes to try and get a little bit of that shine and color vibrancy back.

Some finished Saturnine Terminators for my #ImperialFists army.

Absolutely adore these sculpts!

It's #WIPWednesday and today is 🎵All About the Base🎵

I typically like to paint my #warhammer bases separately to the minis because I'm a fan of intricate basing and I don't want to mess up the base or model trying to do either or.

Some stills of the finished Lysander that I showed off yesterday 💪

Really pleased with how this mini came out overall!

Totally forgot to post up these glamor shots of the #AstraMilitarum tanks I finished *checks notes*. . . at Christmas 😐

thatdudepaints.bsky.social @thatdudepaints.bsky.social · Feb 2

Finally got around to taking some nice shots of the minis I painted over the Xmas break!

First three "minis" of the year 😅

I'll take some sexy shots of them over the weekend!

thatdudepaints.bsky.social @thatdudepaints.bsky.social · Nov 9

Productive day's painting today, got these four chicken walkers close to being done. Need to finish off the bases and hit a few final details.

thatdudepaints.bsky.social @thatdudepaints.bsky.social · Nov 9

Yeah, definitely taking us longer than 40 minutes 😅 but it'll get faster the more we play!

thatdudepaints.bsky.social @thatdudepaints.bsky.social · Nov 9

Small board size, 500 point limit, nothing higher than toughness 9, no epic heroes, minimum 2 infantry squads.

We've played a few games now and it's been the only time I've actually enjoyed 10th edition 😅

A finished shock troop for the 122nd cadians.

I've been playing some 500 pt. King of the Coliseum games lately which has reinvigorated my love for the guard, so I'm painting up a dedicated detachment for the game mode.

I've been testing out a bunch of different filming options for making painting videos and I think I'm real close now.

Need more light on the mini but pretty happy with overall framing!

thatdudepaints.bsky.social @thatdudepaints.bsky.social · Oct 27

Some #Bretonnia Pegasus knights I finished up earlier this year. The bright, vibrant colors were a nice change to the black/red scheme but when I decided to try and apply more of that philosophy to the rest of the army it ground the project to a halt 🤣

Some #Bretonnia knights of the realm I painted up earlier this year.

They are 3d prints from Highlands Miniatures, and I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out. Still need to hit them with some matt varnish to take down the shine though.

Thanks ☺️

It's a pink prime, wraithbone zenithal, and 2 coats of imperial fists contrast through the airbrush.
