The Overlord Onyx Phalanx is done in True Metallic Metal Style. This was my first attempt at flocking. Although it turned out alright I have learned not to use super glue for that process...

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for all your support Reaper Community. :)

 

C&C Welcome.

He looks great.

Why not superglue for static grass?

You have no control on it, it drys almost immediately. It's better to use white glue, turn the figure upside down, knock on it a bit, push it in the direction you want, then let it dry. Rinse and repeat until you are fully flocked. <-- that almost sounds bad.

Thanks for that advice. I always wondered why my static grass came out flat and other people's were uniform and upright.

The figure looks great. The metallics came out well, and I really like the reds.

 

I'm lazy and use super glue for my static grass.

Great Paintjob..

 

PVA is the way to go for flocking. Indeed.

If it falls off after drying, just spray a little matt antishine or dullcoat on it.

Thanks for that, didn't know about using dullcoat and what not.

Superb TMM AND THANKS FOR THE FLOCKING tips

Lovely!

But yeah, static grass takes a tad of practice. You have to play with it.

I'm seriously thinking of taking some left over bases, and Basing them, putting random stuff on it then practicing on them. Can use them for markers in game.
