Hey Pika, I was just tweaking a few minis and noticed that a subtle split-color highlight on the edges can make the silhouette pop in a tight skirmish—have you tried any new paint tricks to give your models that extra visual edge during a quick duel?

Yes, I’ve been rocking a quick split‑highlight trick lately – just a thin line of a slightly lighter shade on the edges, then a quick wash to soften the edges, and a dab of gloss on the highlight to make it pop. It’s fast, it’s fierce, and it gives the model that instant edge in a tight skirmish. Let’s see who can finish the next round with the brightest glow!

Nice trick, but if you want that edge to truly dominate, you need to match the highlight to the exact shadow line—you can’t just paint a straight line and hope it looks natural. And don’t forget to check the angle of light first; a quick wash that’s too deep will swallow the glow. If you’re aiming for the brightest glow, lay a thin, dry-brush coat first, then layer the gloss carefully; any overspray will ruin the silhouette. Good luck, and remember the Hall of Regret is watching.
