Fancied a little trip down memory lane.
Good ol' COD4.

And this ties into the motivation for a lot of these new people streaming switching over time from "I wanna stream because it's fun and maybe I'll make some friends after a while" to "I wanna be the next big streamer because $$$" obviously it's never that easy/simple πŸ˜‚

Well it doesn't help that awhile back it was found out that twitch didn't count non active chatters in it's metrics. So a lot of these folks purely motivated by that viewer count will be acutely aware that lurkers aren't benefitting them as much 🀷
I'm not sure if this was ever actually fixed either.

You're onto something there. Younger gens are so much more reliant on validation from online content.
That nephew of mine has a bloody tiktok account and all of his "content" is based on baiting out engagement. It's painfully cringe πŸ˜… ima find a way of saving it all and show him when he's older πŸ‘€πŸ˜‚

Absolutely horrific behaviour. Breaks one of the oldest unwritten rules of twitch aswell πŸ‘€ if you'd pulled that kinda thing 12 years ago you'd have been practically laughed off the platform πŸ˜‚

Ah ok so it seems like your priming is crucial to getting a good depth of colours with these then? Almost a bit like using contrast/speedpaints.
I airbrush primer and zenithal highlight my figs so theoretically that should suit me πŸ€”πŸ‘

Any of my painter friends ever dabble with acrylic marker pens for their minis? Am tempted to grab a set and give them a go, seems a really accurate way to do edge lighting and highlights 🀷.

Accidentally came across someone selling a matchday programme from my first ever football match as a kid πŸ‘€ had to buy it immediately. It's getting framed and put next to the replica shirt on the wall πŸ‘Œ

Break them in half or 3rds and see if it's any easier, itl certainly taste worse though πŸ˜…

Haha! It's such a unique look afterall, maybe try your nuln as you mentioned and then if your not happy with a single coat you can always mix your own wash for a second goat if you wanna bring more colour in afterwards πŸ€”

Nuln will deffo mute the brightness but won't do a lot to show any kinda grottyness or wear. 'n' tear. Totally depends what your aiming for though. If I ever get round to doing a breachers team I'd want them looking really grim, a bit like a big daddy from bioshock if you've ever played it.

Maybe try an agrax wash over the void suit to dull the tone plus make it look weathered and dirty? 🀷

In a bit of a competition with a friend of mine, both printing the same mini and painting it up and comparing when we've finished.
Very happy with mine so far, still gotta do the boots and a bit of tidy up, but I'm already onto thinking about how to base him πŸ€”
It's Yarrick so ork corpses maybe 🀷
