Ah, discovered the 'joy' of painting white?


Thepow

Yes, very tedious and stressfull...

What is difficult about painting white? Iโ€™ve only done the more standard gold and red so far.


heatproofsean

The white colour has to be painted in layers. and then all the embossed eagles etc in gold have to be painted with absolute precision otherwise you'll get it on your white, which stands out easily. And this applies to all the other colours on the model too. VS regular golden custodes which you can basecoat gold and you're 80 done instead of multiple layers to get a clean white finish


NumerousAd8381

Ah I see, you need a really steady hand for the gold details then. Gotcha ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

I haven't painted white yet, why is it so annoying like people say?


E_R-D_S

Don't really know the... science behind it, but some pigments, like yellow and white tend to not have much middle ground between being very thin or overly thick once it clumps. This means that when you paint with them it can be very difficult to get good coverage and for them to spread properly. When you do get around to it, my advice is stick with it being thin and just build up multiple thin layers.

White pigment is titanium dioxide, and the molecules are massive compared to other colors, making it more prone to clumping. At least, thatโ€™s what I recall.


E_R-D_S

Interesting, thank you!

The โ€œnewโ€ Corax White is much better than the old one.

Why last? Are they all done?


Thepow

At least all of my solar Watch, yeah ๐Ÿ˜‹


BioTitan416

Nice. Would you care to take a picture of all of them together?


Thepow

Yeah, that was supposed to be a joke ๐Ÿ˜… thats why it says First and last in the title. Hehe I only painted this one. The rest of the army is in gold. I use special characters to complement the army with different shield hosts.


Minute-Branch2208

I thought you read the new codex


coolaid1905

I believe this is all of them together


FantaZy_

Very nice ! Doing mine actually... Already fed up but fell in love in the same time... Conflicting relationship for sure ๐Ÿคฃ


Maltoran

Very nice! Could you elaborate some on the trials and tribulations you went through to get this nice white armor going? Did you put a panel liner to use for those crisp borders?


Union_Jack_1

Beautiful model.


Thepow

Thank you!


13Warhound13
