I can't figure out how to post multiple photos on eternity, or I'd post more of these guys in one post. I really enjoyed painting this group for the start of a mordheim warband.
That's some slimey looking slime!

Thanks! I'm happy with how it turned out.
Love the colors on this
Thanks, it was really fun moving from red to green on these dirty fellas.
Bonk, but slimy
I've seen people add the other images in the post's body. I don't think you can add multiple in the way the main image displayed.
Woah, what is the slime? There's no way that's paint on resin/ plastic.
Also, I don't think that the post itself can have multiple images (like an album on Reddit), but you can embed images in the text to post more than one angle to the "main body" (that's what I do in my posts anyways).
The slime is made from modge podge dimensional magic with some inks over the top.
Brilliant.
I watched a video the other day on using inks and it has me intrigued. I've pretty much only used Army Painter acrylics for applying color; what's been your experience / work flow with ink? Do you tend to use an acrylic medium or just brush directly on to the model?
Inks tend to be quite strong so I usually dillute them heavily with water before applying thin glazes. They do work with mediums, but I don't tend to use them.
I see. "Glaze" is a term I see used a lot but have not done a lot of research on what it actually means or how to use them.
The video I watched (from State of Play, if youve seen him at all) was on mixing a host of colors from 5 base inks, I've been thinking about snagging those 5 inks to play around with. Perhaps now is the time to look into glazing as well.
Thanks as always for your advice.
I haven't seen state of play, but mixing colors/color theory can be quite fun!
Inks can be fiddly, but they can produce great results. They're more prone to tearing or reactivating and wearing away than normal acrylics so you have to be gentle with them after applying.
Also, you can glaze with most any acrylic paints in addition to inks. Some colors have more transparent pigments in them and will work better than others but the technique can still be used.
