I never said it was a good plan , did I ? <| sep |> Care to elaborate bad times ? From what I experienced my Vesper with perfect upgrades on weapon still outdpsed by 2 x to 4 x or 5 x by Rachel . I mean Rachel activates so much faster . Usually 1 m vs 2 . 7 m . Maybe I don ' t know when to use her blocks . but what I ' ve seen . don ' t everybody just spam blocks here ? <| sep |> Ha ! I get the feeling that listeners might disable that option fairly quickly And as for royalties , your somehow already knows it doesn ' t work that way , but damn good hacking effort ! <| sep |> Very nice painting job , I happen to be currently working on the other Slaughterpriest model myself . Having started painting again a couple of months ago after a similar time off as you , I ' ve lately been trying different varnishing methods after talking to one of the Forgeworld guys at an event . He basically works with different gloss varnishes throughout the whole painting process , finishing everything off with a matte varnish . In case you ' re wondering , a wash flows better on a glossed surface , also you can lock decals in two layers of varnishFurthermore , this is probably common sense to most painters , but I didn ' t really know it , is that gloss varnish and glossy lacquer give the best protection , which you can then finish off with a matt varnish to remove the glossy shine , without ruining any of the detail and giving your model the best protection possible . So what I ' d suggest to do , and what I do personally , is give him a protective gloss varnish layer I use a Car Lacquer spray I bought off internet , but something like Tamiya Gloss Varnish spray works as well . Yes , he will look shiny after this but don ' t worry ! Next give him a matte varnish finish . I ' ve tried a couple of different options but my two favourite products are Army Painter Matte Varnish Spray and Testors Dullcote , in your case I ' d advise the Army Painter one , Testors is a great product but it tends to kill any metallic shine where Army Painter leaves the metallic shine coming through . Be sure to shake the cans and do a couple of quick passes and you should be golden . I hope this helps !
