waiting for my actual models and my new paints to get here but got impatient so decided to try some stuff out for bases. wanted to get sort of like a cracked stone / marble tile look? never really done anything fancier than slapping some astrogranite on before.

Thousand Sons seem like quite a challenge to paint with all that armor trim. Good luck doggirl-thumbsup

I'm a simple woman. I love everything Thousand Sons. I hope you enjoy painting them. Have you picked out a color scheme yet?

yeah! i'm gonna do like a miami vice style palette w/ white armour, gold for most of the trim, and pink and green on the stripes and gems. i'm thinking of trying to do a metallic blue on the guns but i'm not 100 on that yet.

cesium hydroxide (CsOH) or lithium hydroxide (LiOH)? on this episode of messing around with bases, I will

Looks good! Did you do the thing where you tear up dryer sheets to use them for masking?
