WARLORD TITAN BASE: I finally painted TAU lololol

[@sarrakitty]

Given the pink and purple theme of your ork army, I'm just imagining a bunch or of them coming along after a battle, finding the smashed remains of the hammerhead, and using it for scrap because it's already painted the right color, lol!

The original spelling of aluminium was actually alumium in 1807. However Sir Humphrey was was quite indecisive about the name, changing it to aluminum before eventually going to aluminium in 1812

[@mattcurr9931]

wasnt there pressure from the Royal chemist society to bring it into line with all the other -iums?

[@guameldestruir6239]

​@@mattcurr9931 Yes his colleagues pressured him into changing the name. The logic behind the name aluminum was that it was a prestigious metal like Platinum. and also if the scientific community is obsessed with putting ium at the end of nearly every element why hasn't Platinum been changed to Platinium yet, funny inconsistency.

[@AutisticWombot]

Regrettably, no-one remembered to inform the yanks...

[@ominousmecha500]

I feel like the ideal way to evolve this scheme is to have the purple be secondary to a dark midnight blue armour and a lighter gray for frames and clothes

[@Winterydee]

Just a tip on the Airbrush... put the Thinner and Flow Aid in the cup before adding the paint into the cup. This will help to far greater reduce the chances of any paint adhering to the needle and interior of the airbrush, hence reducing the frequency which you'll need to do a full breakdown cleaning of the airbrush.

[@chaospunks49]

nice!

[@Arkhavist_S]

That slip of calling it 'squid ink' got me thinking... Actual squid ink as a mini paint? I wonder how well that would work, if at all. "I painted my Idoneth Deepkin with real squid ink so they can smell like actual ocean sewage on the tabletop!"

[@ShallowVA]

This sounds like a Jazza video

[@Vox_Rhododendron]

Squid ink is very thin and generally not good for painting or even writing. Might work as a kind of weird black wash if mixed with some matte medium, though.

Squid ink might not work, but I'm entirely sure making your own soot black pigment for ink or paint is entirely doable... as that is how it was done originally (collecting the soot that accumulated on the underside of cooking pots and kettles)

[@mrheisenberg83]

I would love to get the dos and don'ts, because no matter how careful I am or how many times i clean my airbrushes they always lose pressure and become unusable for a while. I then switch airbrushes until it happens again and for some reason the first airbrush then works again. deep cleaning does nothing, only time does. it is very weird and confusing to me and I need to know what I do wrong.

[@Get_Splooshed]

Think it would be awesome to have a bunch of little servitors flying around the titan, repairing and maintaining it as it’s going through battle. maybe having a couple welding around some battle damaged areas or lubricating joints as I’m sure something this massive would need that kind of work done as it’s going around being the center of attention.

[@Ghogiel3D]

The closest thing to magenta in acrylic pigments is usually a transparent red. You just have to glaze with it. That's 100% correct what you are doing. Using an acrylic labeled magenta is usually desaturated and just won't get you the vibrancy one usually expects from a proper magenta. Back in the 80s-90s, red ink was the go to to get that hot pink magenta color.

[@AlbarionRed007]

Great video! More of an advanced thing, but using backflow to mix your paint aerosolizes it and can make your spraying very inconsistent. Just putting this out there for any novice airbrushers. Always mix outside your airbrush's reservoir--it gives you way more control, and in airbrushing, control is the name of the game!

I have watched a ton of beginner airbrushing videos that never cover the one thing that always destroys my airbrushes. Disassembling, cleaning, and reassembling the airbrush. I have permanently destroyed 5 airbrushes and no longer do any airbrushing for this one and only reason. No matter how carefully I reassemble it never works.

[@paulomr445]

I'm speaking as someone who has little to no experience painting, much less playing the tabletop. But personally I'm not sure I'd want a pink tau hover tank as the base of the model. Reason being that if I were to play with the model I'd do so against a variety of factions and colour schemes, and a hot pink tank makes it really hard for the base to blend into the the background of those battles. It draws so much attention to itself.

[@102ndsmirnov7]

Ye, I have a similar feeling. I feel like the pink is just too contrasty, I thought they'd go with the stereotypical tau tan colour and it would've blended much better and stood out way less.
