Hey I recently ordered some stuff for Kharadron Overlords (see my forum My Second Army). When I get into painting the ships and flying units bases I thought it would be neat to have a really cool water effect (I saw a troglodon conversion using this). Can anyone tell me how to do this and what paints I need?
Was it mine? It's pretty easy to do if you practice before hand. I used Woodland scenice - Realistic water and water effects. 1. Paint the base dark blue and green or whatever colour you want to show through the water. 2. apply a thin layer of Realistic water, let it dry for a day or two so it's fully cured. 3. To make the wave crests, apply water effects in thin lines where you want the waves to be. 4. Use a Toothpick to flick the lines into crests, let it dry for a few days. 5. Drybrush the crests white.
A tutorial would be great! And I think it was yours it was just the body sticking out of the water. It looked amazing!
Nice! I will hold off on the bases when they arrive. I saw a pic of someone who did a water technique under the ships and flying units and thought it looked great!
Hey not trying to rush you or anything but when do you think you will post that video lol I’m super excited for it.
It was never going to be a video, bloody hell that is too creative for me, but the tutorial has been up for over a week. There is a new sub forum in the painting section called, what for it "Tutorials" http://www.lustria-online.com/threads/water-wave-effect-on-bases.22773/
