Thank you for the welcome! I'll definitely check out that Fyreslayers sub forum.
That's good to know, I have at least 20 of them and I feel like the older metal models have a bit more character/expression then the new ones. In sort of a goofy hair metal sort of way haha.
Yes! The start collecting boxes actually came with Magmadroths! So I have two! I assembled one of them, I want it to look sort of like the one below, but red/orange/yellow showing through instead of the blue. The article I read detailed the use of "contrast paints." Basically the black is supposed to be a sort of opaque black so it shows some of the color beneath it. I'm probably doing it wrong, but I painted all the scalesy parts red, and will purchase that paint at the store next week. I don't think I'm good enough at painting to pull it off without that cheat code.
I also have my Gotrek I put together and painted. I have intention of using that green stuff to create an eyepatch for him. As a temporary band-aid I just tried to paint his eye bugman's glow to make it look messed up like the Viking in Vahalla Rising's eye.
I don't think he's missing an eye in Age of Sigmar but I would like him to match up to the books I've been reading. I'm not very good at painting skin yet, once I get better I would like to make his muscles pop more. I tried to find some sort of very thin paint marker to add tattoos with, but haven't had any luck so far. I have enough slayers to where I'd spend ~$30 on one and consider it a good value.
