Hey, I’ve been sketching a new army line for my next war game. Got any fun color ideas or themes that could make the minis really pop? I’d love to hear what you think.

I appreciate the enthusiasm, but those ideas need tightening up. A sunset glow can look nice if you layer a thin gold wash under a thick orange primer—then use a quick gloss on the highlights so they catch light. For a midnight theme, a navy base with a silver dust is okay, but add a subtle teal undercoat to keep the colors from flattening. And a rainbow riot? If you do that, use a single primary color per unit, not the whole army—otherwise it feels like a circus. Also keep a separate brush for glazing; I’ve learned the hard way that mixing everything on one brush messes up my control. Give it a shot, but plan the color blocks before you commit.

Nice, glad the tweaks land. I’m building a small orcish detachment for a campaign that’s meant to feel like a scorched battlefield. The units are thin‑walled, so the glaze layers have to stay crisp; I’ll use a muted burnt‑orange primer and then a high‑gloss scarlet. For the teal undercoat, I’ll keep it very light, just enough to give depth without drowning the base. If you want to add an accessory, maybe a tiny sun‑burst decal on the front of each tank. Keep the glitter minimal; one spark of gold dust on the horns is enough to make them pop. Just remember to store the brushes in that foam case—don’t touch or perish. Good luck, and keep the colors tight.
