A community dedicated to the universe of Warhammer 40k, a tabletop setting in the far, distant future.

This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.

Rules

  1. Keep it civil.
  2. No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
  3. Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
  4. No political or social cause agenda pushing.

I just refilled my black and brown wash bottles. Thought I’d share. (lemmy.world)

I mix up my own washes. There are plenty of recipes online, but video related has been the one I’ve used as a foundation for a while.

I somewhat follow the recipe in the description, though for my “nuln” I use 18 drops of black ink, and 8 of burnt umber. For the brown wash I use 16 drops of burnt umber, 6 of sienna, and 5 of black. I think it looks a bit better, but the great part with DIY is how much it can be changed up.

I keep steel mixing balls in the bottles and always give them a vigorous shake when everything is added.

This is really neat! I'm just getting back into the hobby after a long break and was considering picking up a few of these inks as they seem pretty versatile and pigment dense. What else do you use them for?

I need to do something similar, I'm probably one of the minority who doesn't have an issue with the new citadel wash formula, but the when washing larger models it gets a bit impractical 😆 I need to bite the bullet and just make a 3l bottle of washes... 😆

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I started doing this before the formula change, mainly as a cost cut. I only just recently found out about the formula change AND the bottles are 18ml compared to the old 24ml. I actually had to show somebody my old 24ml label for them to believe me.

It’s quite easy to DIY wash, especially for mimicking nuln. Agrax takes a little experimentation, but I like my personal formula.

What about seriphim sepia :(

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

It's just figuring out the colors.

I don't use this guy's recipes, but he does have a sepia color, as an example of what's possible.
