not bad, thin the paints with water a bit, and move this to painting

khanaris · 05 Apr 2005, 00:56

What kind of paint are you using? Like Dizzy said, it looks like it could be thinned-down a little.

thanks for the tips guys
and to answer your question I use the game workshop paint but its because I painted slowly
but Im geting tips from my brother if you guys know him his nose on the waaagh.com
thanks again and ill show some pics friom my recent work soon

I like the paint scheme but the paint does look awfully thick. GW pots are notorious for drying out (it sells more paint) so you really should be painting from a palette and adding a bit of water to thin the paints (it should flow almost like ink).

i still prefer a wax\water mix with future floor finish myself to plain water... but either way it definitly helps to thin the paint out.

practice makes perfect!
