It darkens down a crap load when it dries so it's not quite as bad as it first seems. Any advice on keeping it vibrant? Tried the Imperial over a model last night and it came out way darker than did on another piece.

Wow, that’s kind of a jump.

After a metric crap ton of testing I've finally settled on Imperial Purple for my Space Marine army, only now I've got a problem. I have no idea what would be good colors to help highlight it. So I bring it to you, what's your go to colors for highlighting Imperial Purple or any cool purple?

Ah, thanks. Missed the main one then on this round.

Did the block fill up? It’s throwing some weird dates every time try to book.

Does anybody else feel like the cleaver on this model is kinda tacked on? The connection point doesn’t really make any sense in my opinion. What did yaw do with it?

They’re the same. Didn’t realize that Gothic Crimson was a limited edition paint.

I had this weird thought about using Gothic Crimson and Necromancer Purple together. You can color me shocked to find they’re the same shade. So am I losing it or do I need to check my paints for revived colors?

Holy Necro-post, Batman!

Another local show in the books. My gf and I ran the Reaper Paint N Take booth again this year with a total of 16 models painted. We also gave away paint, Bones minis, a 2019 Reapercon Sophie, a 2019 VIP paint triad, and a Goremaw. I walked away with a bronze for Hanei and a silver for the Halloween Knight. Final placement for all 3 awards in the category came down to judges preference. IPMS award choices continue to be weird. Did clean up in the armor raffle though.

Show is the 19th and it's the 16th. Guess I'll do a recap. 1. Started with 6 minis. 2. Bones Lysette figure gets dropped due to fuzzing. 3. Bounced around between ideas but couldn't really get any traction with anything but Hanei. 4. Found out the show theme and kinda... panicked. 5. Added another 6 figures to the pile. 6. Most everything fell away leaving me to focus on Hanei and the Halloween Knight. 7. Kept switching between the two with the deadline quickly approaching. 8. Got them both mostly wrapped with a couple days to spare. 9. Start on a new monster that is likely to not get finished in time. Is there a better way to go about this? Probably. Do I know what it is? Nope. So many started projects are now staring me down it ain't even funny anymore. Here's the "mostly" finished Halloween Knight: https://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/98475-halloween-knight-rivercon-2022/ I say mostly as I plan to add some "leaves" if I can find those old tea bags that I used several years ago from the companion piece.

Halloween Knight from Bones 5. Putting him in the theme category at my local IPMS show. Monsters and Machines, the obvious and machines with monster names like a C-130 “Specter” gunship. Pretty sure this fits.
